I am a professional and work in a very conservative company (suit. tie and clean shaven). I have decided to let my hair grow with the goal of letting it reach my hips. When I am not at work, I would like to wear it like "Nell" of "Allie McBeal". I am looking for suggestions on styling it for the work place as it gets long. I have to find styles that will keep is off my face and looking like your typical chemical engineer (at least from the fornt)

Hello,

I work in a software development environment (Germany, Munich). The requests for suit, tie and clean shaven are not so strong. Some people like it, other not. I put my hair into a ponytail and it seems to work, I get no comments about my hair. It looks longer then shoulder length if I wear it open. From former male aquaintances I know that they hided their hair under a wig.

In a former environment I got serious conflicts because of my long hair (research institute for applied knowledge processing). At universities noone takes care how the hair is. In a bank or insurance company in Germany it is difficult for males to wear long hair.

I think it depends sometimes from the individual characteristics of the boss or the the big boss if long hair is allowed or not, but the worth of an employee is also measured how much he does for the company or how important he is. The problem is that sometimes not all representatives of a firm see this.

I wish you good luck with your hair growing but unfortunately I know not very much about styling a long male hair in a professional environment, if it appears it is usually put into a ponytail. Suit and tie doesn`t contradict long hair in general, I have seen it.
