    MammaKG​  Yep, that happens with pretty much any of the premades, particularly the sims from base game and older packs.  Afaik, you can't change it in a vanilla game although I have seen one or two change over time.  The only way I know that allows you to fix the hair is by mod, namely MCCC.  It takes a bit of work and time but it's fairly easy to do.  Using the Dresser module, copy the sim's hair from any outfit.  Then the next time the sim is in their career outfit, paste that hair on the sim.   My experience has been the makeup also sticks too so usually you have to do the copy/paste with that too.  And most of the time you should notice that when the sim's hair/makeup is different on the career outfit, it will be different in the bathing outfit as well.  Changing it on either outfit usually changes it on both.

    Hope this helps.

    Awesome! Hope EA comes up with a solution for it though. I have MCCC but did not know that I could do that. Will try next time I log in. Thank you so much!

      MammaKG​  I learned that there is a bug post similar to what you've reported here.  I was asked to ask you if you used the newer CAS function to copy the hair/makeup on any of the affected sims before you noticed the career outfit hair?  You might want to take a look at that thread as well.  Copying applies changes to Non-CAS Outfits | EA Forums - 11926681

      Hope this helps.

        Hi CGrant56​ ! 
        I am unsure if you are refering to the "Apply to all outfits" function. In that case the answer is yes.
        Will take a look at the other post.
