Twirl your hair in the conference room? Wear a lot of perfume? Huge no-nos. See our list of the worst beauty habits that could hold you back at work
Work hard and you will be rewarded, right? Maybe … as long as you don't have split ends and chipped nail polish.

Skip ahead to see the 7 beauty habits that'll ruin your career.
Of course, you've got to know your industry. Case in point: Last week, our Associate Editor Sharon showed up with a multi-colored mani complete with rhinestone bows on each finger. Naturally we all spent the morning fawning over her nails -- including Sharon's boss. But would Sharon get that type of reaction if she worked on Wall Street? Ha!
While dress code rules will differ from workplace to workplace, there are a heap of unspoken beauty habits that bosses hate more than your frequent Facebook breaks.
To get the nitty-gritty on these universal no-nos, we asked CEOs and upper-management executives to tell us their biggest pet peeves when it comes to the beauty mistakes women make at the office. Are any of them hurting your career?
