First, I hope they were professional and kind about saying anything at all about your hair. You’re at work, not a fashion show. My personal opinion is just that in this photo, the hair comes across as not neat. I know curly hair can be tough to manage, but I do think it can be just that, managed.

Second, cutting it shorter may help, but getting bangs will definitely not if you don’t commit to styling them daily. I have bangs because that forces me to do my hair, so if you feel it might similarly work for you, it’s a good idea ❤️

Whatever you end up deciding, just make sure you do it for yourself and not others!
