③ Hair
As much as face get attention most, so does your hair. Especially in the business scene, you’d better to check your hair style whether is good enough in your office image or not. Check your hair length, color and style. If you have inappropriate hair color or style which is not good for your company/office, then you’d better to change as soon as you notice.
