I am on the same page as you are. That is a rather stupid statement. Sexy is usually based on how a person carry themselves or appear in clothing. Long hair and short hair can make a powerful statement in the business world. I believe as long as you look professionally in your wardrobe and your hairdo matches, you are making a statement in the place. You can also allow your hair to match your personality.

I have short hair that is cut in a bob but, I can curl, straighten it, flip it or spike it. My hair will still look professional. Long hair has more variety. Any hairdo is professionally. The outfit is what determines your professionally appearance not your hair.

Looking professional does not necessarily mean cutting your hair, but the key is looking professional.

I do not think so, I think you are right. Now mind you the hair should not be down to the small of your back or your butt.

Hair should have nothing to do with it. I absolutely refuse to change my appearance for any job. It's stupid.

Even in food sevice, they can only require you to wear your up, they can not require that you cut it, or anything else for that matter.

The long hair rule is "out" pretty much the same window that women over a certain age must wear their hair short! As a girl with long hair who has worked in business, it is all about a clean, polished and professional appearance. Keep it trimmed and styled.

I have long hair. Everyone on here says that people with long hair mess with it too much, but I don't, or at least I don't think I do...

Whenever I'm in a business setting, I have my hair up. It just seems to get into my way whenever I'm trying to do stuff. If it's down and flying everywhere, I do mess with it. I try to control it.

I don't think it has anything to do with sexy, but having your hair shorter does look more professional if you're wearing it down.
