Hello, Your hair colour must be natural and professional. Artificial looking colours are not permitted, like fire engine red, purple, pink, blue. Hair must be clean and well maintained, loose strands of hair are not permitted. A ponytail or lock of hair must not fall in your eyes. The eyes must be visible. A side fringe is allowed when it is well taken care of. Short hair must not fall below the collar of the jacket. If longer, it must be tied. Long hair must be attached in a bun, a ponytail or a braid: Ponytails must be tied close to the head. The maximum length of the ponytail may be to halfway down your back. Buns or donut rings are not to be oversized so they can fit safely inside the QDM/PBE. Allowed hair accessories: Hairpins, flat hairgrips, slides, scrunchies and elastic bands must match the natural hair colour or be dark blue in colour. Discrete hair band is allowed, in one colour (metal, dark blue, black or match the natural hair colour) and without ornaments. Wigs and hair extensions are permitted as long as they look natural and are secured properly (i.e. invisibly)- Extravagant hairstyles (feathers, shaved shapes, bows, spikes, mohawks, wet-look, pigtails) are not permitted. For safety reasons, bird beak clips, crocodile clips of any size, flowers, and other similar accessories are not allowed. Hair accessories must not impede the swift donning of the QDM/PBE or risk damaging the neck seal. If you have facial hair, it must be neat and well-groomed. If you don't have a beard or goatee, you should be either clean shaven or have well-groomed stubble - unkempt stubble is not allowed. If you have a moustache, it should be neatly trimmed and kept off your top lip. For safety reasons, you must not grow a beard longer than 3 cm, facial hair beneath your chin or on your neck - hair in these areas will interfere with the seal on the QDM/PBE. This guidelines are of all cabin crew no matter your gender. Kind regards, Leon.
