New year, new me, new job! Ace your job interview with these looks
A lot goes into prepping for a job interview, and making a good first impression is imperative. And while we can’t help you answer your interview questions, we sure can help you make a great first impression. After all, the way you present yourself is important. So, we’ve put together a list of hairstyle ideas for your next big job interview. Good luck, we’ve got our fingers crossed for you!
High puff

Embrace your natural hair and step into your job interview with this stand-out look. It’s glam-but-professional, giving you a confident vibe that employers are looking for!
Sleek bun

Nothing says elegance and sophistication like a sleek bun. Perfect for most professions, and especially great for aspiring lawyers, editors and fashion designers.
Keep your hair sleek and free of flyaways with a firm-hold gel. We love the VO5 Wet Look Styling Gel for its all-day hold and that gorgeous shine.
Flat twists

Flat twists are such an all-rounder of a hairstyle. No matter your profession, this style would look great in a job interview. You can make it as meek and mild as you like, or let it stand out with bigger twists or subtle accessories.
Braided bun

Update this classic look with some tiny braids. Depending on the placement of your braids, this look could be edgy, or simply “professional, but interesting”. Personally, this is our favourite take on the braided bun.
Sleek middle part

Now if you really want to stand out in your job interview, this is the look for you. And, it’s perfect for almost every hair length. Just apply a tiny amount of gel to keep it slicked down. We suggest using the VO5 Wet Look Styling Gel for the ultimate chic, shiny ‘do.
Voluminous knot-out

Show your fun side by wearing your hair in a voluminous knot-out. This look is especially great if you’re in a creative profession, like photography or advertising.
Fresh blowout

If you’re going for a softer, more easy-going vibe, then consider a fresh blowout for your job interview. This look adds volume and embraces the natural movement of your hair, giving you flexibility and versatility.

Give your hair that healthy shine with a serum or dry oil. We love the TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Shine Oil for this. The best thing is, this product will also nourish your hair and keep it smooth and free of flyaways.
