hair fashion

I know, I'm totally over-posting on LJ tonight, but I'm enjoying having an evening at home (which won't happen again for a week...ugh) and my VERY OWN STUDIO with a WORKING INTERNET CONNECTION.

*ahem* Sorry to holler.

Anyways, I have a fashion question. I have so far at school (both the middle school where I subbed, and the high school where I am permanently) avoided wearing my hair down - it's always been up in a bun, or at least back in a braid. I sort of feel that having my hair down is unprofessional. Am I crazy? I just feel that b/c it's quite blond, and quite long, it's sort of going "Look at me!" when I wear it down, and I don't really want to do that when I'm working. Also, I worry about differentiating myself from the high school students - I am totally waiting for the day when I get stopped in the hall and asked for my pass.

Thoughts? Should I keep on with this habit, or am I full of it?

hair down is much more informal than hair up. i'd say anywhere where you're trying to exertr your authority and look more adult, hair up is definitely the way to go. i don't think you're full of it.

Good to know. You have clout, as a member of the Hairy Scientists Club, or whatever it's called. :)
