ft interviews coming up, receding hairline at temples, not sure what to do for haircut
^ title says it all. idk what to do for haircut. my temples are badly recessed and I’ve been rocking a middle part to cover it up like below. is this acceptable?
For finance interviews, a clean and professional appearance is key. Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some suggestions for handling a receding hairline at the temples:
Avoid the Middle Part: While a middle part might help cover the recession, it’s not typically seen as a professional or polished look in finance. Instead, consider styles that embrace the recession while maintaining a sharp and confident appearance.
Go for a Shorter Cut: A shorter haircut with clean sides and a slightly longer top can work well. This minimizes attention to the temples and gives a neat, professional vibe. Think of styles like the classic side part or a slicked-back look.
Consider the Slickback or Side Part: The Bateman/Gekko slickback is often mentioned as a prestigious and powerful hairstyle in finance. A side part with a medium top and short sides (not tapered or faded) is another low-maintenance, professional option.
Confidence is Key: If the recession is significant, embracing it with a very short cut or even shaving it completely can project confidence. As noted in WSO threads, a shaved head is often seen as prestigious and even a common look among senior finance professionals.
Use Product Wisely: A bit of pomade or gel can help keep your hair in place and polished. Avoid overdoing it, as a natural look is preferred.
Ultimately, the goal is to look sharp and professional while feeling confident. If you're unsure, consult a barber experienced in professional styles for advice tailored to your hairline.
