As I've mentioned in one of my other posts here lately, I'm giving a departmental presentation on Monday. I need some ideas for what to do with my hair. The complication is this - it's a fairly informal presentation. If I wore jeans or shorts, no one would even care. Academic departments are often like that, especially in science. I don't want a hairstyle that would seem incongruous with the atmosphere of the presentation - that's why this is difficult. If it were a formal presentation, this would be easy enough.The other consideration is that I am growing out my bangs. I need a style that includes holding them out of my eyes, so that I can see what I'm doing. It also has to keep the rest of my hair under control, because I can't be having to push it back over my shoulders every time I change what's on the overhead projector.My hair is waist length, straight, and very fine, though I have a fair amount of it. My bangs are to the tip of my nose. I have a fairly narrow face.Thanks, everyone!Laura Janelswanson@sunflower.bio.indiana.edu

Hi Laura Jane,Being a guy, I'm not sure how credible or valuable my thoughts may be.....The first question that came to my mind was "how do you plan to dress for yourpresentation?" Certain kinds of hairstyles seem more congruous with certainstyles of dress. It seems that how you want to dress may serve as a guide toto types of hairstyles you may want to consider.Also, some hairstyles are fairly flexible in terms of their formality.A french braid, for example, can be seen as either fairly casual, or fairlydressy. A french braid may look good with certain barettes, too.If your dress is more formal, one of those headbands that hold back growing-outbangs might be a good choice.Well, I hope my thoughts are of some value to you.Good luck!Dave

Hey Laura,It seems like I've talked to you a lot lately. Good luck with the presentation. As to your hair...Have you thought about pulling it back with a small scarf and putting matching barrets on either side to hold your bangs? When you put the barrets in you might place them an inch or two from the hairline to make your face appear a little wider. I hope I've helped a little.Yours Truly, Angel O:)

Laura Jane,Oops! I just realized (remembered) that if you french braid your hair, there isno need for barrettes. When I was married, I used to occasionally french braidmy wife's hair and I just now remembered being able to french braid her haireven though she had bangs.Please forgive my momentary lapse of consciousness!Dave
