Do justice

How do you write this?

Having your hair up doesn't do you justice. It makes you uglier.

Grammatically, it's fine. You are saying the person is already ugly, however, and that having her hair up just makes her more ugly. Is that what you meant?

You could just as easily say "You look prettier with your hair down."

Yes.

It reminds me of a cartoon a friend has on his desk at work: one guy says to the other, "You're better than my last sensitivity training instructor, but you're a whole lot uglier."
