More Hair by Samantha James

I’m sure you’ve heard the whole saying “Dress for the job you want,” but can it pertain to hair as well? Should you style for the job you want?

Well, we’re here to say, maybe. It couldn’t hurt. 

Here’s a little bit of a dive into some of the most prominent female figures in the political and Fortune 500 worlds… from an aesthetic perspective.

A Lob to think about.

The latest trend is the “Lob” or an overgrown bob that lingers a few inches below the collar bone. The front typically has long layers that frame the face, especially when given a proper blowout with a bit of voluminous lift at the front.

Senator and Democratic Candidate for President ‘20, Kamala Harris

Chairman and CEO of General Motors, Mary Barra

Author, Activist, Democratic Candidate for President ‘20, Marianne Williamson

It suggests power and intention with just a simple blowout and face-framing outward waves of curl. It’s undoubtedly more feminine than the simple bobs of the past.

Could the Lob be the latest power style?

Old-School Bobbin’

The style of original female power. Hail the bob!

Senator and Democratic Candidate for President ‘20, Amy Klobuchar

President and CEO of Anthem, Gail Boudreaux

Maybe the bob is just a lingering trend for the powerful ladies of the past. Maybe the somewhat more androgynous look had serious appeal. Maybe the bob was a safer aesthetic bet to be taken seriously in the afore categorized “Man’s World.”

One could make the argument that the Lob is just the younger generation’s quest for exuding the same characteristics of logic and competency as the Bob while exercising this newfound freedom to be both feminine and powerful. You could say that these increasingly feminine hair styles are cues of the regained sense of power in our XX potential, of both the elected and genetically endowed senses.

Pretty bold statements about hair and hairstyles, granted. But perhaps there’s something to it.

Maybe we should be styling for the jobs we want? What do you think? Leave your thoughts in the comments!
