Does anyone have any good tips for tidying long hair for imprtant business meetings. Normally I don't worry about things like that but it would be nice to put hair into a bun or something so it short and tidy.
Bearing in mind that my hair is now ankle length and the envy of some of my lady friends..I wonder why!!!
There's no need to be rude. John is sending me some pictures, which I'll post as soon as they get scanned.
If this is the gentleman John from the UK who has been on TLHS email dist list, then chances are he is telling the truth. I believe he might attend the UK ETLHS meeting around June.
John, if this is you, I offer up my sincerest condolences to you. I read about your dear girlfriend who was in the accident and feel just terribly about it for you. Hang in there and we all look forward to seeing your photos here on Victor's site.
Valentine :o)
Maybe he is a dwarf...
You don't "tidy" long hair by hiding or trimming it. You tidy long hair by combing it back - by getting it out of your face. And then making sure it stays there by tying it, combing it often enough, or whatever else works.
Few would suggest to females that they "tidy" their hair by "shortening" it, so any such suggestion is not about neatness. It is about sexism.
I wouldn't just come out and accuse whoever is pressuring you on this of being a sexist. Instead, I'd mention that the consensus among long haired men and women you know is that the customary way to neaten long hair is to do just what you are doing. :-)
Can you measure your hairlength, please? I like to know how long it is and how long it needed to get this length!

I think the most common way to tidy up long hair is to tie it into a ponytail. Sometimes people put the ponytail under a hat.
When I was in counseling, I had a client come in who was CEO of his own company. He had this beautiful carrot red hair that was slicked back and worn in a very long braid, (it went to just above his waist).
With that and his clean cut face, he looked quite "acceptable", very cutting edge from a fashion standpoint, in a three peice.
On top of that, and I think is more important, everyone respected him, suit and other alike and that was because of PERSONALITY!
He was charming, well-mannered, and friendly. He could have had hair to his toes, (and on 'em), and it wouldn't have mattered.
I think it's the person behind the coif that makes the impression, although sometimes the impression can't be made for narrow minds that only see hair.
Anyway, the look he used was really sharp.
