This could be an almost unmanageable subject, since the idea of styling hair is generally a personal choice. But there are some great ideas that will work for almost anyone. In addition, we are not only concerned with the look you choose – long, short, curled, straight etc. – but also how get a style that looks good without damaging the hair’s natural state.
Most people start their hair-styling ideas with something they have seen, either on another person or in a magazine that features models and celebrities. The photos can be very helpful if they are taken to the stylist or hair salon. These professional will probably be familiar with the methods of treating, cutting and shaping hair in the same way it was treated, cut and shaped for the model or celebrity. This alone can help you avoid physically damaging the hair. It may also eliminate some of the trial and error of the do-it-yourself hair stylist.
It’s important to make sure that the right cutting and shaping instruments are used. This shouldn’t be a problem with a professional haircut or style. But if you plan to take care of a new style after it is produced in a salon, you may need some special “tools” and treatment products. Just getting the correct shampoo will be essential to proper maintenance of a good hair style. These instruments and tools can include a good hair dryer. But excessive heat is one of the things that can most damage hair and ruin a great style.
If you don’t understand exactly what you need for your type of hair (thick, thin, long, short etc.) ask a professional. You should certainly ask the stylist you have trusted to give you a great looking style. Make sure to follow the shampoo and conditioner instructions exactly. If there are other items you might need, take some time to do some homework. Ask questions at the beauty salon or hairdresser’s shop and follow the instructions closely.
When considering which style will work for you, always lean in the direction of “natural.” It’s not wise to try to make your hair stay in a style or position that takes too much work and too many artificial products. Not only that, but there are certain lengths and cuts that will make a person look much better, while other shapes and styles will not. Some people take great pains to make their curly hair straight, or try to make straight hair curl unnaturally. While some of this effort will pay off, it’s probably wise to stay with what works naturally.
One of the best pieces of advice from professionals in the hair-styling business is this: Do something fun and work with what you have. Don’t be too serious about your hair, at least not the point that it becomes stressful. Sometimes the simplest cut or style works just right. The slightest extra touch can make all the difference if the basic style is correct to start with.
