[quote=Anonymous]I am (at age 47) beginning to apply for jobs after a 5 year absence from the job market...and I have really stubborn hair. Wavy, brown, some grey at temples, currently below my shoulders, and prone to frizz and flyaway. Styling falls out rapidly and it frizzes and becomes wavy. It's getting slightly thinner in front, cut in layers, and has some blonde highlights that are growing out. Am thinking about having it cut into more long layers, but ending at my shoulders. Is this a good look for interviews? Not sure what to do about the color.

My hair texture similar to the celebrity in the links below, but my face is fatter. I am plus size, 5'10" (6 feet in heels) and built like a linebacker (think plus size plainer-looking Brooke Shields)--and have defaulted to long hair most of my life because it makes me look "not butch" and usually has received a lot of positive comments. I've thought about pulling it back to look more professional, but I really look like an "old lady" (thanks Mom) and you can definitely tell it's thinner and grayer in front. 
 
On a good day, it might look something like this: [url]http://www.crushable.com/2013/12/04/entertainment/keira-knightley-wedding-dress-recycled/[/url] On a bad day: [url]http://famousface.us/wp-content/gallery/keira-knightley/keira-knightley-2.jpg [/url]

Keep it longer? Cut shorter? Pull it into some sort of updo/ponytail?

Have worked for state government in other more relaxed areas and don't know if my style is polished enough to withstand scrutiny by the private sector or the DC metro area, so would appreciate feedback and salon recommendations in MD / DC. Thanks![/quote]
