Many people have seen a hairstyle they loved in a magazine and decided they wanted the look for themselves, but then were disappointed with how it turned out. If you want to change your hairstyle, it is critical to communicate clearly with your hairstylist. Here are some tips to help you get the hairstyle that you want and that is right for your face and your lifestyle.
How to Choose the Right Haircut
Before you go to a salon, you should have an idea of what kind of haircut you want to get. Think about your lifestyle. If you need to be able to pull your hair back to work out or for your job, you will need to go with a longer cut. You should also think about how much time you are willing to spend styling your hair every morning. Think about the styling tools you currently have and whether you are willing to invest money in new tools.
Explain What You Want
If you have seen a photo of a celebrity with the hairstyle you want, take it to the salon with you. A picture is the best way to convey to the stylist exactly what you want. The stylist will advise you on whether or not the cut is a good choice for your face shape and whether you can recreate the look yourself. If you have seen a picture of a specific look that you don’t want, it can be helpful to take that too.
Be clear about what you want. Ask the stylist to cut off a specific number of inches and make specific requests about layers, bangs, and angling.
When you go to the salon, make sure your hair is dry and has its natural texture. This will help the stylist get a good idea of how your hair falls and how it would respond to a particular style.
If you have specific products that you use on your hair because you like the way they work or you have allergies to certain ingredients, you can take your products to the salon with you. The stylist may also recommend products you can use at home.
Communicate with Your Stylist
If you notice during the haircut that it does not look how you had hoped it would, speak up. This will give the stylist the opportunity to make adjustments to give you the look you want.
Ask your stylist for advice on how to style your new hairdo. Ask if you should use specific tools, products, and techniques, and ask for a demonstration if you need one.
