Pink Hair in the Office? I say ‘YES!’

November 19, 2013 By ARMOURELLE

My Magenta Ombre Hair

My Magenta Hair Gang Moment — Just one hue of my coif of many colors

Non-traditional hair colors are becoming more popular. (Forget those face-framing caramel highlights and rich chocolate browns.) I’ll admit it: I’m a fan. When it comes to the workplace, hair colors like hot pink, indigo blue and fire engine K. Michelle red can be workplace appropriate. It’s a matter of office culture, perception and styling, and color choice.

When we change our hair through styling methods, we feel better about ourselves because we control our image. If you consider yourself a cute hipster-adjacent professional, you’ll feel better when your hair, clothes and makeup match how you perceive yourself.

Office politics are a quiet, unspoken war we fight daily with our co-workers and boss. And we will all get judged in the workplace based on our appearance, which is a form of non-verbal communication.

You’d Better Swang that Mermaid Hair, Guh!

Phoenix earrings.

Kiss giant hoop earrings like these goodbye–you’ve got your Kim K. wig.

So you just big chopped—hurrah!—and after prancing around for weeks letting the wind kiss your scalp and buying tons of new dangly earrings, you may feel the newness of your crop wearing off. You know what? That’s okay. You can buy wigs from your favorite beauty supply store.

Apparently, though, if you choose to wear a Kim K inspired wig and you’re natural, it’s a problem. If you don’t know what this type of wig looks like, it’s a long, layered hairstyle with loose, face-framing curls. Some people argue that if a woman, especially one with an afro, wears a long, straight wig, she’s not being ‘real,’ because if she were ‘real,’ she’d wear her Teeny Weeny Afro as it is, unashamed.

I don’t know about y’all, but I don’t see anything wrong with a little bump and shine, especially when it comes to changing hairstyles when you feel like it. Wigs are pretty awesome, and a way to give your natural hair a quick break when you’re feeling bored, or want to allow time for your hair to grow. Here are four reasons why going from close crop to wavy Rapunzel-like hair shouldn’t be a problem at all.

Pro Nails: Olivia Pope Runs It and These Nails Do Too

Commander in Chic Salon ManicureWho doesn’t love the TV show Scandal?

Inspired by Olivia Pope’s love of chic neutrals, here is the color that started it all: Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Commander in Chic. This color is a nice transition for fall, before the deep jewel tones of the Holiday season.

This color began my love affair with the Salon Manicure nail color line. It doesn’t chip, it goes on smooth and the color selection is great.
