  • Hair- Obvious comb-overs in order to disguise balding, badly fitted hairpieces, hair too long and dated, extreme hairstyles – too punk or too old, uncombed
  • Facial hair – beards and / or mustaches in general, five o’clock shadow, not groomed, multi-colored, patchy
  • Nails – dirty, rough or chapped hands
