Impact of Hair on Your Appearance
There are many decades of research that show physical attractiveness, including hair, does affect how others perceive you, and the opportunities that are created. For example, studies have shown that attractive men earn an average of 5% more than unattractive men. And attractive women are also presented with a wider range of opportunities in their careers and personal lives.
Of course, many factors affect your success in each area of your life. A stylish haircut and color may not get you that job or that raise, looking your best never hurts.
Hair and appearance are part of a total package for anyone looking to move forward in their career or in life, and should be considered as something you’d improve just like your resume. This means looking like the best 'you can be.
Finding Your Best You
It's a matter of discovering what's beautiful about you, and then using your hairstyle to highlight it. Some people focus on hiding flaws and that can be a good thing, but it’s more important to find where the beauty is rather focusing purely on flaws to correct or conceal.
Do you have high, strong cheekbones? A great smile? Large, captivating eyes? Your stylist should try to enhance your best feature through your color and haircut. For example, if your cheekbones are your best feature, consider styling your hair so that layers brush gently in toward the face at cheekbone level.
Maintain to Gain
No matter what style your hair is, you have make sure that it’s well kept and cared for. Regular trips to your hair stylist are indispensible.
If you have color in your hair, make sure that you don’t have a re-growth line. That looks gross!! If you have dramatic, straight, Bette Page-style bangs, you need to take particular care of your eyebrows, since they’ll draw attention there. You want to project that you care about yourself and care about the position you’re applying for, or the people that you’re meeting.
Consult a Professional
You should work with a stylist to find the length and shape of cut and hairstyle that best suit you. In other words, the night before you have dinner with your future in-laws or go in to meet with your boss about a promotion is not the time for do-it-yourself haircuts or hair color.
Ideally, you want to have a haircut that creates an oval face shape. If you have a round face, you’ll want a more square haircut, while if you have a long or rectangular face shape, you may want interior layers that break up and create a bit of width around the cheekbones, and bangs to shorten up the face shape.
There’s no one 'perfect' style for any person or event. For some hair, the texture might mean that it looks better when hair is worn short, but other people with fine hair will look better with long hair since when it is too short, it would have no shape.
Keep It Simple
Many people planning for a big day try for a big hair change but they forget that sometimes less is indeed more.
Don’t be drastic with your hair. In fact, If you have a big date or a big job interview the next day, don’t go into the salon with long brown hair and come out a double-processed blonde with highlights and short hair. You want to boost your sense of self and sense of security with your appearance for a high-stakes situation, and if you don’t feel like yourself, the way you’re perceived by others will be unfavorable.
But while you shouldn’t make huge changes in your hair, a new cut or style or freshened hair color can make all the difference in your confidence level. When your hair looks good, you feel good. Anything fresh makes you feel fresh and confident affecting your mood positively. When you feel more put together, you act more put together, and that definitely has an effect on how people perceive you.
