I’ve worked in the loan department for 5 years and I have good experience and a strong resume. But I think I may not get promoted because of my hair - it’s very curly and messy. Someone hinted that a manager should look neat. I can’t really control my hair. Do you think this could really be a reason not to promote me?

    Your hair is a part of you. Speak to a hair specialist or stylist and the y can help you come up with a way to manage it. You may find yourself... putting more efforts to keep your hair looking decent but that is life. That is the price to pay to move up in your carreer . So yes it could be a factor in the bank as well as any area where you interface with people. If your work in IT or accounts reconcliation where you do not interface with people, then you have nothing to worry about in terms of your messy hair. But to deal with the public....is a no no.  more

    If you are in California, that is illegal. See the CROWN Act.
