It might seem like a very little thing, but it has rather large repercussion for trust.?Let me tell you something: no one else will. You need to get your hair off your face.
Now, if you Google this, you won't find much about it. All you'll see are endless suggestions for hair products. But here's the reality that no one's talking about: We tend to think it looks great when our hair falls across our face. Why? Maybe it's just a habit, or we're trying to cover up something—a scar, an insecurity. But think about this for a moment: Should we really be doing that??
The truth is, when your hair covers your face, especially your eyes, it sends the wrong message. People can't see you clearly, and whether you realise it or not, they start to wonder what you're hiding. It creates an impression of secrecy or even dishonesty. And trust me, that's not going to help your career or your confidence.?
Constantly having hair in your eyes can strain them over time. But even more than that, I believe it affects your mental state. How can you be fully present and open when you're literally hiding behind a curtain of hair??
So, the best thing you can do? Get that hair off your face, clear those eyes, and remember—this isn't a date. It's about showing up, being seen, and being confident in who you are.
Let me hear your thoughts.?
Love Dr Louise Mahler

1 个月Louise Mahler what about longer hair? Should you tie it back? I remember early in my career and the style guides saying if it’s past the shoulder you should tie it back - not sure it still applies in todays world..
