You just woke up from deep slumber, and it’s only 10 minutes before your scheduled Zoom meeting. You still have time to change into a nice office blouse, fix your hair, and apply some make-up. But choosing the right clothes, hairstyles, and makeup is another story and can take some time as well.

Combing your hair in time for a work-related meeting may not be enough. At least, you would want your hair to look nice in front of the camera. However, most hair salons are not open as of now due to COVID-19. So more often than not, you are on your own now when it comes to hair care and beauty regimen.

The so-called “Zoom effect”

On the one hand, people tend to be lazy touching up themselves when working at home. Most hair extensions salon or Brazilian blowout salon are closed now, so professional hair treatments are impossible for now.

But we have to thank for such technologies like Zoom, Skype, Whatsapp, and other similar apps. For one thing, it has made working at home a lot easier and more productive.

But for some reason, working at home has made us forget how to look presentable to other people. Except only during video call meetings that we have to touch up a little bit. However, some people tend to rely on such video apps’ filter features to at least smoothen out your skin.

For one thing, we are fortunate to have access to these kinds of technology. Through these features, you can be instantly beautiful with little to none make-up. Plus, you get to stay safe at home while keeping your job. Nonetheless, this is no excuse not to take care of your hair and skincare regimen while working at home.

Looking fab in online meetings

We are more connected than ever during this time of a pandemic. We may be practicing physical distancing now, but it didn’t lessen our time to socialize with our friends, colleagues, and loved ones.

Sure, it feels more comfortable at home sans the Balayage hair highlights or even clip-in hair extensions. But it doesn’t mean you should not pay attention to your beauty regimen on and off-(video) camera. Feeling pretty is just as good as looking good in the eyes of other people.

A keratin treatment by a hairstylist is impossible as of now. But, there are still ways to look and feel good while stuck at home. More so, if you have video meetings with your office team.

Tips to look professional and glammed up during video meetings

There are some important things to consider if you want to look presentable on your online team meetings. For one, it is not only about choosing the right makeup or hairstyle but also in the right set-up. Here are some useful tips when having online meetings.

Find a nice work area.

First of all, you need to find that perfect spot in your home where you can work and have video meetings in peace. One easy option is setting up your workspace in your bedroom. However, make sure to separate your workspace from your bed. Or else, you won’t be able to resist your own bed’s charm.

Find a comfortable desk and chair.

It is better to buy an ergonomic chair with back support. Choose one that covers not only your back but also the back of your head and nape. Also, make sure to buy a desk that can accommodate both your computer or laptop and your arms.

Adjust your computer at eye-level.

There are desks that can help in maintaining your laptop or computer at eye level. It also helps in keeping good posture and preventing you from slouching which is bad for your back.

Find good lighting.

Aside from a good work area, make sure that the lighting cooperates with you, too. As much as possible, look for an area where natural lighting is present. Or if you want, you can invest in a ring light which can make you look more pleasant on camera.

Go easy on your hair and makeup during video meetings.

For brighter-looking eyes, dab a little concealer under your eyes. For attractive eyes, you can add some mascara or eyeliner. Add some little amount of cheek blush. As much as possible, let your hair down while working. Or if you have your own hair extensions, try to include it on your online meeting look.

Look and feel pretty even at home

These are some tips that will help you look and feel pretty and confident during online meetings. There is no need to worry about finding an open keratin treatment salon in Rockville, which is impossible right now.

In the meantime, you should not take your hair and skincare routine for granted. There is no occasion needed when it comes to looking and feeling great and confident about yourself.
