Look and feel confident at work with one of the best professional curly hairstyles.
You have a wide range of choices so rest assured you’ll find one that's just right for you.
Having the right curly hairstyle for work will save you time in the morning.
Ten minutes before rushing out the door is not the time to decide on a hairstyle
Decide now!
Get to work and let your best job skills shine through, not your cork-screw spirals in disarray.
Mismanaged curly hair at work can be a distraction. If it's not right, you feel uncomfortable and think the whole world is staring. Maybe they are, but let it be stares of appreciation.
Unruly hair in the workplace is portrayed as disorganized, flighty and indecisive.
There is serious discussion that employees with curly hairstyles are less likely to be promoted than those with straight styles.
Just keep the playing field even by managing your curly hairdo with style and good hair care. That way you can be confident your hair is not the issue.
Make sure you have a professional curly hairstyle. Clean, controlled curls beat “bed-head” hair any day of the week.
In a male-dominated workplace, curly hair can be taken as naive, immature or overly feminine. No problem.
Choosing from the many professional curly hairstyles will give you the self-assurance you need to work in any environment.
Let's look at a few professions to get an idea what works best on the job.
1) Conservative Professions
Accounting, banking, or legal positions where the corporate culture is pants suites, blouses, skirts and heels. Fridays work attire may include the company logo.
You want to be professional and approachable.
a) For short styles, keep your look neat and classy. No need for hair accessories, the curls are enough. And short styles are easy to comb with your fingers.
b) Medium length styles will also look great. Soft bob cut or elevation style. Some swing and movement in your hair is okay. Quick care in the morning and look great all day.
c) With long length styles, be a little cautious. Long layered cuts are very cooperative and versatile for after work.
But at work, softly twist the sides and pin the hair back. Keeping the hair out of your face and letting the rest fall behind the shoulders. Or wear a nice loose ponytail to maintain that polished look.
Note: Don't spend time during your presentation moving hair from your eyes so you can see your audience. This is distracting. Pull the hair back, but not too tight. A few hidden pins behind the ears will work just fine.
2) Semi-Professional Positions
Marketing, education, medical, or transportation where the work attire depends on the culture of the company.
Show confidence in skills and “know-how” by choosing an attractive professional curly hairstyle.
Short styles will do well. Easy to care for and no need for mid-day touch-ups. Short layered cuts are popular. Look polished while complementing your work outfit.
Medium length styles do great. Versatility is needed depending on the job. You may go from wearing a hard-hat in the warehouse to attending a team meeting after lunch. Layered locks or blunt cuts can be easily finger-combed as you move through your day.
Long length curly hairstyles are multi-purposed. Layered styles or blunt-cuts will never go wrong. Depending on the task for the day, you can wear your hair up, loose, or softly pulled back. With manageability and shine, your style will always look great.
3) Unconventional Positions
Retail, real estate, or customer service you can get quite adventurous. These type of positions can give the most freedom in styling curly hair.
Curly hairstyles that encourage open and honest communication work best for positions with direct customer contact.
Short styles can include softly spiked curls. Finger-combed to include height and flare. Tapered short on the sides and back brings attention to the style. Very chic.
Medium length styles can work anywhere. Over-exaggerated bobs, layered cuts, or asymmetrical hairdos give invite conversation. Working with these styles give versatility to your curly hairstyle at work.
Long hairstyles can take more time in the morning but are well worth it. Styles finger-combed to display beautifully controlled curls can be left loose and flowing. Hair falling over one brow is okay, just keep it out of the eyes.
