Top 20 Colors NOT to dye your hair for the workplace

Unless you plan to mimic Albert Einstein, it will not make you look smarter. Most will wonder if something is wrong and you may even get a call from HR demanding to change it back. If you’re under the age of 40, don’t bother with this color.

Yes, it’s a favorite color of mine as well. However, thanks to Heath Ledger performance as “The Joker”, it is now a very scary color to dye your hair. Not only do you wonder “Why so serious”, but some who have a phobia of clowns will also be scared; and why? You’ll have a close resemblance to a clown.

Not that we all don’t enjoy skittles, this may be a little distracting (more than anything) in the workplace. Not only will people question your tactics, but then they might start having headaches for the bright variations of colors. Best to use wash out for this one.

Yes, most think this is a typical color … well, unless you’re Morticia, it is not. Most will not only wonder if you’re depressed or having personal issues, but then you might get the question from your boss as well. That’s a conversation to avoid.

Dolphin Fan? Teal and Orange won’t fly unless you’re at a game (and even then, questionable). How about a Steelers fan? Black and Yellow? It is not at all professional. I understand that you’re favorite sports team just made it to playoffs, but save these colors for the weekends.
