and once at night.
4.Wash hair when needed & Keep hair cut and styled.
5.Exercise  frequently
6. Shave hair, as needed. Shave your face, legs and armpits when necessary.
7. Trim nails. Shorter nails look neater. If you have longer nails, keep them in good condition.
8. Wear clean clothing.
9. Wear clean and polished shoes. Shoes are always the first thing many people look at. They tell a lot about a person.
 Personal Grooming is probably the most important thing in every field or
profession. Maybe as an Engineer, business man, cooperate workers, teachers as the case may be.
MEANING : Personal Grooming not only means looking good and neat but also includes everything that make you sophisticated.

LOOKS: Looks have always played a very important role in everything a person does. For instance, If a person is talented and speaks well but looks untidy and uncivilized, the person immediately creates a bad impression.
●You need not have the looks of a supermodel, but should be neat.
●Your hair should not cover up your face but held back.
Men should have a short haircut and ladies can tie their hair or put it in a bun.
●There should not be much make-up. The make-up should be natural and light, not bold and bright.

CONVERSATION SKILLS:
•Conversation skills too, make a huge impact.
  The speech should be fluent without grammatical errors.
•The voice should not be too loud nor too soft. It should be filled with confidence.
 ATTITUDE: Attitude, here, does not mean pride or ego.
Attitude means confidence and determination. For example,  a person might be wearing a dress for over #15000 but does not know how to carry him/herself with a good attitude, the expensive dress too looks very cheap!
posture:
•Posture, is one of the most important things in any kind of job especially.
•A person who droops and slouches during an interview, immediately carries a sign of boredom and laziness.
•One should sit or stand upright and always have a smile on their faces.

DRESS-STYLE & HAIRSTYLE
The type of clothing worn by one also shows what kind of a person he/she is
•Avoid colorful/bright clothes
•Always keep your clothes ironed & crispy
•Hair-style is very important too, one should not color their hair in bright colors like red, pinkish, blue etc
•Guys should keep it & simple OTHER POINTS
•It is said that the first impression is the last impression.
Therefore, one should not flaunt much and remain sober and calm.
Don't try to pride yourself more by talking on your cell phones all the time, unless an emergency, keep it in your hand-bag.
The shoes make a huge statement too, so wear the appropriate ones for the right occasion.
Always have a good social and friendly attitude with your colleagues.
Talk with manners and have good mannerisms like not fiddling with hair, nails, etc

CONCLUSION:
Personal grooming creates a great effect not only in our professional lives but is necessary even in our personal lives. The way we eat, talk,
walk, dress, etc all pass some or the other remark about ourselves.
So, remember no matter what you do,
BE WELL-GROOMED.
