" It&amp;#x27;s no secret that jobs&amp;amp;#8212;and job interviews&amp;amp;#8212;are superimportant these days. Looking professional when you&amp;#x27;re up for a new position can only help your case. We asked New York City hairstylist Garren how to look your best when meeting a potential boss. For starters, &amp;quot;Your hair should be neat and clean, never frizzy, or in need of a root touch-up,&amp;quot; Garren says. Some looks he suggests:Down and Straight: After towel-drying your hair, apply an alcohol-free product like Garren New York Designing Spray Tonic or K?\uFFFDrastase Lumiere Nutri-Sculpt to smooth out the cuticle and add shine. Split your hair into a center part, and divide into sections. Using a round brush, blowdry each section from roots to ends. &amp;quot;Take your time,&amp;quot; says Garren. &amp;quot;Your hair should have a nice textured finished to it, regardless of the length.&amp;quot; After blowdrying, spritz on L&amp;#x27;Or?\uFFFDal Paris Elnett hairspray. Note: It&amp;#x27;s a good idea to get a trim to remove broken ends that can cause frizz. Down and Curly: &amp;quot;This can look beautiful if worn properly,&amp;quot; says Garren. After washing, comb hair through, apply a gel or cream to coat the cuticle and allow the hair to air-dry with a nice wave. (Garren likes his own Straightening &amp;amp; Styling Gel or Nigelle Clear Surge Milk.) With curly hair, fewer products are better, so avoid hairspray. At the interview, be sure to keep your hair out of your face. A Chignon: &amp;quot;If you&amp;#x27;re not handy with your hair, try the chignon,&amp;quot; Garren says. &amp;quot;It&amp;#x27;s very clean and proper.&amp;quot; Pull your hair back into low ponytail, wrap a ponytail holder around it, twirl the whole thing around the base, and secure it with bobby pins. &amp;quot;Add a thin headband&amp;amp;#8212;tortoiseshell ones are pretty&amp;amp;#8212;to give your hair some style and youthfulness. It&amp;#x27;s a nice touch.&amp;quot; A Low Ponytail: If your hair is wavy, this looks stylish and professional. Tie your hair back into so that it lines up with the bottom of your ears. Take a half-inch-wide chunk of hair and wrap it around the ponytail holder. Secure that with a bobby pin, stuck in from the bottom upwards. Finish with a spritz of L&amp;#x27;Or?\uFFFDal Paris Elnett. --Jessica Prince What&amp;#x27;s your default Monday-Friday hairstyle?
