Do any firms allow men to grow out their hair? As long as its done in a neat and professional way?
Lawyer ho. Lawyer ki tarah serious dikho. Cool banoge toh client tumhe sasta rockstar nahi, Sasta ChatGPT samjhega aur kahega yeh toh main GPT se bhi karva lunga.
BUT, there has to be an order to things. Focus on being good/ indispensable in your work. I dont know what hair band you use or how you other wise dress - long hair cant be an excuse to look shoddy. Someone wearing red pant and green shirt (no matter howsoever formal looking and branded) will be asked to revisit his wardrobe.
Your question was a bit free-flowing (as if no one ever had this idea of keeping long hair during job), hence I believe the initial negative feedback. No one gives a crap how you keep your hair. Just dont end up losing your job because of this. In life, you will face situations where you will have to give up (hard earned) things that will be more valuable than hair. So, I guess, just take a chill pill for now, grow your hair, push your boss back a bit, then tell us in 6 months what happenned. Sounds good?
Must be a T3 firm.
