I was wondering if there were people out there who teach and happen to have longer than average hair. I am starting a new job as a teaching assistant, which I have never done before. They suggest we dress a step above the students in order to look professional, which I have no problem with, but I am a little anxious about my hairstyle. I think a bun may seem either matronly or like I'm trying too hard, but I'm not so sure I should have my hair waving down my back, either. I want to look sort of authoritative without being school-marmish (I am a grad student, they are freshmen; I'm about ten years older than they are, but look pretty young). Is there anyone out there in a similar position with some advice? Thanks in advance.Kim Replies:
