Hair Cuts & Styles
Hair has an important place in every culture, hair is often a physical expression of self and people of many cultures cut their hair rather than letting it grow naturally. Hair styles are often used to express individuality or signal cultural and social identity.
Haircuts and hairstyles often involve creating a specific shape and form. Done correctly, choosing a hairstyle should include considerations of body proportions, hair density and hair type, face and head shape, bone structure, the pattern and direction of hair growth.
Many people look to celebrities to find a new hair style. Then you go to your salon and get that fantastic celebrity hair style only to discover (usually after the first shampoo) that you need to spend about an hour to get it to look the same way.
There are 5 important questions you should ask yourself if you want to get a hair style that will work for you.
1. How much time you are willing to spend every day fixing your hair? Include hair drying, hair straightening, hair curling, special conditioning, styling, etc. Be realistic about your lifestyle and hair grooming habits. If you don't have the time, don't get a high maintenance hair style.
2. Is your hair in good condition? Don't plan on doing any sort of perms, hair straightening, extensions, bleaching if your hair is damaged or brittle.
3. Do you know what your face shape is? Your face shape is very important for selecting any hair style. What will look great on a square face shape might not look good at all on a round face. See HairResources.com for suggested hair styles for each face shape.
4. Are you generally happy with your hair stylist? Does your hair stylist give you instructions about how to style your hair at home? Do they address all of your concerns about your hair or hair style?
The hair stylist plays a vital role in the way your hair style will look from day to day. You need to get a hair style that YOU can make look great on your own.
5. Do you know what hair styles you like and why you like them? If you explain to your stylist what you like about certain features of a hair style the stylist may be able to add some of these features to your hair style even though the entire hair style may not be suited for your hair.
