Looking professional all day long . . .

Published

Hello Nurses, nursing students, pre-nurses, and everyone else,

I am having problems with my hair recently. It looks fine when I leave, but by the end of the day, it looks like I went through a tornado. Okay not literally, but it is pretty bad. I was wondering if you have any problems controlling your hair? What do you do to keep it professional looking all day? Do you spend hours on it before work? I am always fond of the tried and true pony tail.

This is a pretty silly thread, but I find we need a horse of a different color lol.

As long as pants were brought up...and I have short legs and have a problem with length. Think of what you are trailing those hems thru.....yeck.

I've heard that if you rinse your hair at the end of your shower with colder water (don't freeze yourself), it will help to take away the greasiness. If I find my hair is getting too greasy at the end of the day, I will switch shampoos and lay off the conditioner for a while as well as start rinsing my hair with cooler water. It really helps! Good luck and thanks to everyone for the tips on this thread!!!

This is somewhat true. Rinsing your hair in cold water closes your hair shaft and pores. Hot water opens them. To cleanse the hair you must shampoo twice with warm water(the first time attracts the dirt the second time cleanse the hair), condition then rinse the conditioner out with cold water. This will fill your hair shaft with the condition to prevent the dryness and frizzyness and excess will rinse away. BTW I am a licensed cosmetologist. :twocents:
