hair fashion

[wavyarms]

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?

Having your hair down is not unprofessional (what did you teachers look like in high school?!). Your hair is long enough that it might get in your way when conducting if it is entirely unbound. Style it however you like and however allows you to discharge all your professional duties without causing a distraction to yourself or your students.
