Choosing a Hair Style and Hairdresser
Hairstyles that weild friction on the hair, such as ponytails, cornrows, buns, etc, are not good for people with hair loss problem. Professional hairdresser can cache hair loss by highlighting certain areas to deviate attention from areas of thinning or advise on conditioner and thickener that give hair a fuller look.
Choosing a Hair Style and Hairdresser
1. Find a hairdresser through a personal endorsement. If there is someone you know who has a haircut you appreciate, or you see someone on a street or at a party with a pretty hairstyle you think may look great on you, ask her where she gets her hair cut. Don’t be shy.2. Make an appointment and walk in with confidence. Don’t be bullied by a fancy salon or a pre-occupied receptionist. Be cordial but firm; announce your arrival and ask when you may see the hair dresser. If you are kept waiting, ask why. Ask any other questions you like. Remember, hairdressing is a service-you are the client and the first conern at any salon should be to serve you.
3. On your first visit, when the receptionist gives you a robe to change into, don’t do it. Meet your hairdresser with your hair the way you wear it casually, in the clothes that are yours, so he or she can see the whole you, the image you present. This will help him understand “who” you are and to create a style that will fit you. But this also means that you shouldn’t “dress to the hilt” or falsify to be someone you are not. Be yourself-but be your best self.
4. Notice if the hairdresser has the time to talk with you-not only to discuss the style that would be pleasing for you (be careful if he immediately tells you he knows just the perfect style for you) but also to find out what kind of life you lead, how much time you have to care for your hair, how skilled you are at using some of the tools and what kind of hairstyles you like. All this information will help him to create your hairstyle-so if he doesn’t ask, volunteer the information. If he doesn’t care-leave instantly.
6. Once you have chosen a hairdresser, talk to him fairly. Tell him what you like in a hairdo, and what you don’t like. I really believe that if you end up with a hairstyle you hate, you must accept some of the responsibility. To neglect such a catastrophe, keep saying to yourself, “It is my hair that’s being styled and I have something to say about it!” Any good hairdresser will respect that.
7. Don’t frugal on a haircut. The hairdresser you like may be more expensive than others, but if he is really good, it will value it. Remember, if you get a cut you hate, you are going to have to put out more money to have somebody else fix it. If you want to save money on a haircut, go to the stylist you like but have him or her cut your hair shorter than usual so you won’t have to return as often.
