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.

Have you ever gone to a salon and asked for one style and come out with something else, well this may be the reason why; hairdressers have their own language.

So here are some tips on what they do mean.

1) When a stylist says graduation

This is a type of layering where you cut progressively shorter towards the back of the head than at the front.
You will find this cut is mostly used on a bob cut.

2) When a stylist says slicing

Slicing is when your stylist slides there scissors through your hair without closing the blades completely, this will leave your hair with a feathered finish.

3) When a stylist says about razoring

Using a razor is a way of thinning and creating and softness and texture at the same time.

4) When a stylist says point cutting

This is when your stylist uses the points of the scissors to break up the blunt lines it the hair cut; the finished look can be fine and chunky.

5) When a stylist says layering

Layering is away to reduce the weight in thick hair or to add more movement.

This is when they will use a peroxide to give a long lasting effect on your hair, it won’t lighten your hair and it will fade out gradually so you won’t get root re-growth.

4) When a stylist says permanent colour

This is when your stylist will mix a colour with hydrogen peroxide. This can lighten your colour tone by three levels.

5) When a stylist says panelling

This is when you have slabs of flashes of colour applied to the hair using foils (but they are not woven like highlights or lowlights).

6) When a stylist says T section

This is when you have highlights, lowlights only on the top section of you head.

7) When a stylist says full head
