I have a Pandas DataFrame employee_data and I want to style the output of its .head() method for better visualization. Currently, when I display employee_data.head(), it shows a plain table. I would like to customize the styling, such as adding background colors to alternating rows and highlighting certain cells based on conditions. How can I achieve this using Pandas styling options?

Something like this:

Here is what I have tried so far:

import pandas as pd

styled_employee_head = employee_data.head().style
styled_employee_head = styled_employee_head.set_properties(**{'background-color': '#E9F6E2', 'color':'black', 'border-color':'#8b8c8c'})
