I only view it as unprofessional if you’re dripping. Other than that, it’s a sign of cleanliness.
I don’t like to put heat to my hair. It’s damaged enough with all the coloring I have to do since my grays are coming in at lightening speed (every two weeks) and I have thick, curly hair so it takes forever to air dry. My solution on the mornings I wash my hair… I turn the heater on in my car at full blast so by the time I get to work it’s not noticeably wet at all. Work smarter, not harder. Lol. 😂
My drive is about 20-30 mins so it’s a perfect timeframe. But if I ever see it too wet, I do the same, throw it up in a clip and within a few hours take it down.
I’m kind of shocked so many people find it unprofessional and suggests it could be poor time management. It’s not anyones business how you manage your time before work. The important part is that the employee shows up on time, adheres to dress code, and maintains professionalism. If the dress code says “no wet hair” then it’s an issue. Otherwise- not our place to judge them or their time management skills based on how they fixed their hair.
Well, if you're a black woman, there's a style called "Wash n Go" that looks like your hair is wet but it's just the gel
As a black woman, that’s what I thought of when I saw this question. However, for black women our natural hair can already be perceived as “unprofessional” so I’m not sure if a wash n go would make it worst
I’m female. I’ve done it but I do think it can be perceived as unprofessional to some - especially if it’s wet and down. If I do it I throw it up in a bun of some sort.
My opinion the perception could be poor time management, but it really depends on the type of work performed. Customer Facing VS Back Office VS Field
For me it depends on the level of wet. If it’s dripping/looks like someone basically ran out of the shower and got to work, then yeah. If it’s just damp, I don’t think it’s a big deal.
Personally I don’t find it unprofessional if it’s not all over the place but there’s a lot of people who might.
This is a toughie. I think it really depends on the job/organization...as well as the generation you're from... as to how this is perceived. For some, it could be viewed as you having issues managing your time and, therefore, unprofessional. Others may see it as you being carefree and not beholden to the perceptions of "the man", a desirable trait in some sectors.
I go to work with wet hair more days than not, it’s always clean
I think it is
