You can see the length of my hair from my picture... I plan on wearing mine down. I usually wear it so that it curves under a little bit with a side part. I think it will look professional enough, especially if I use some hairspray to keep it in place. Wow, how many times did I say "I"???
Definatly down...this isn't prom. 😉
If you're ugly it does not matter. Look into a good mask.
I think most of the time wearing it down is so much easier...and a half up is good if your hair is kinda long. 🙂 I think what you're most comfortable with is best and as long as you don't sit there playing with it and flipping it... i know whenever i straighten my hair i keep playing with it which would suck during an interview... 😳

Awww...I feel so special! My hair thanks you all! lol I guess I should change my vote and say I'll wear my hair half-up for interviews. You all should go to Myspace to see what my hair looks like down AND then I'll start a poll so you can decide how I should wear it! lol

I think you'll look good either way.

Personally, myhair is a little past shoulder length,I plan on wearing it half up. When I wewar it down it bothers me and I am constantly pushing it behind my ears. Also,my hair is VERY straight and when I wear it down eventually it gets that stringing look 😳
I am not evil!

why is curly hair not "professional looking"?
DrA said:
My hair is about mid-back, dark and stright. I was thinking of putting it up because I think down would look unprofessional in my case. What are you guys going for in general- pretty or professional? 'Cause unless I cut my hair (my husband would kill me) I can't do a french twist- it would stick off my head a couple inches like a giant hemangioma to my skull base-lol. Half-up, half-down?

My hair was longer when I was doing residency interviews two years ago, and I wore it the half-up, half-down way. It looks better than having it in a ponytail (looks too little-kiddish) and having it all down (gets in my face, can get crazy curly with high humidity).
I usually make put my hair up somehow into messy/curly bun with just bob pin that can not be even seen, and then curls are kind of just sticking out of the bun.Its kind of nice but I do not think thats proffesional enough for the interview.So'll just wear my hair down, and hope that it does not rain because I will look like puddle.
