If you are like most people working in an office, you don't have a lot of control over things. You do what you're hired to do, you follow procedure, and you don't talk back. Day after day, you just sit there and take it. With so many rules to follow, you can't help feeling out of control.
Don't fret! There is one final frontier employees can conquer in the war for independence at work. The key to it all is hair. That's right, your hair. You can control every last strand of hair on your head and your boss can't do a dang thing about it.
Bad Hair Day Tips for Women
Bee Hive - Come to work with a bee hive hairdo and a serious face.
Mohawk - Don't settle for one of those half-hawks that require a lot of gel to get it up into a peak. You need to shave the sides down to the bone if you really want to feel free. This style works best if you have a very serious job and total jerk for a boss.
Color - Pick whatever works for you in your heart. Maybe match your hair color to your yellow house or your bangs to your green Mazda Miata.
Bad Hair Day Tips for Men
Pork Chop Side Burns - Shave your initials into the sides for added independence.
Handle Bar Mustache - Be sure to keep it extremely well waxed. This one is even more effective if you hitch a ride to work on the handle bars of your buddy's bike.
Massive Beard - Simply stop shaving. The beauty of sporting a colossal beard is that it's really no work at all.
Bad Hair Day Tips for Teams
Management is always encouraging teamwork. Here is where you can really shine. Imagine how empowering it is to include your co-workers in hair control.
Wind Blown - Convince meeting attendees to sweep their hair up to one side as if a strong breeze is blowing (kind of like the wind from your blow hard boss who is presenting).
Half & Half - You shave the left side of your head and your friend shaves the right side. Walk around the office side by side so it looks like one full head of hair.
If you don't have the courage to shave your head, you can always test your ideas on a Magnetic Face Drawing Board.
Fight the power with hair!
