Hairdressing Tips & Guides

Changing your style

Posted by Louise On February - 25 - 2010

Are you bored with your hair style and want to try something new but don’t know what you want or how to ask for want you want.

There are some tips on different style.

Pixie hair style

For the pixie cut you need to feel confident about your skin and features as your face is going to be front and center with this cut

When asking for a pixie cut you want short but different length hair all over with a choppy fringe.

Tell them you want a choppy messy look and not a blunt cut.

The best maintenance to keep this cut looking fresh is to have it trimmed monthly.

The long and short hair cut

This cut looks great if you have an oval face shape, it will add great body and movement to fine, straight hair. But if you have wavy hair it will give you a rocker look.

When asking for this cut you want to say you want the layers long at the back of your head and choppy all over. You can also have a choppy fringe and layers around the face which can be tucked behind your ears or left in front.

The best maintenance to keep it looking fresh is to have it trimmed every 6 to 8 weeks.

A short bob cut

This cut looks great if you have an oval or a square face shape, but if you have a round face shape go for a longer version bob.its also looks best if the hair is poker straight.

When asking for a short bob tell the stylist that you want the longest piece of hair to fall an inch above your chin, this will get a face hugging effect.

The best maintenance to keep it looking really polished is to have it trimmed every 4 weeks.

Short shag cut

This cut will suit most hair types except those with very thick and very fine hair. This style also looks great if you have a delicate face with small features. When asking for this style tell the stylist that the longest hair should be at the crown of your head just like Ashley Judd’s style, or you mite end up with a mullet style at the back.

The best maintenance is for you to get it trimmed every 4 to 6 weeks. This style is very easy to do just pump up the roots and blow dry the side by tousling them, to finish the look kick out the ends.

A long layer style

This is a style for people that love having long hair but want a bit of volume and versatility. When asking for this style tell them that you want the layers to start about an inch below your chin. Make sure they layer the back as well this will give your hair movement and a nice curve all over your hair.

The best maintenance for you is to get it trimmed every 8 to 9 weeks to stop the ends getting straggly. Try not to over wash your hair as layers look better a few days later after washing.

Tips on cutting your hair off

Posted by Louise On February - 25 - 2010

Have you been trying to decide whether or not to changing your hair style.

Most of us go thought the same cycle of growing are hair long and then getting bored with it and chopping to short again, but then we regret it and start to grow it long again.

So before going to have your hair all cut off here are some tips to look at first.

1) Think about the texture of your  hair first because if you have thick curly hair and want a bob that is smooth and straight you will find you will have to style your hair everyday.

2) I would all ways consider how long it will take to grow your hair back to the length it is before you cut it off (just in case you regret what you have done).

your hair grows averagely at about half an inch per month so if  you decide to cut off 12 inches of your hair it will tack you about 2 years to grow it back to the  length you loved.

3) When choosing a style think about how much maintenance you want to deal with daily. A lot of us think the shorter the hair is the easier it will be to manage but sorry to tell you this is just a myth.

4) I thing i would do before cutting your hair off is cut lots of photos of style you like out and then book an appointment with your stylist for consultation to get some advise .

She will be a good judge on whether any of the styles you like are realistic for you.

Now you are ready to go ahead and get the new you.

Go on love your hair don’t loathe it.
