10 Top Hair
Style Tips
|
|
Knowing what not to do to
your hair style is just as important as what you do to create the hair
of your dreams. Like everything in life, there are dos and don'ts. Listed below are the top 10
ten actions you don't want to take when it comes to styling your hair. |
|
|
1.
Don't go to the salon unprepared to request the hairstyle you wish to
wear. |
|
Many
hair consumers mistakenly believe that their hairdresser can work
miracles, can read their mind and can instantly pick out the best
hairstyle for them. There
are many variables to consider when it comes to selecting a hairstyle
and it is up to the hair consumer to do their homework and research their own hair
options. Face shape, lifestyle and budget all play into the final
style selected. |
|
2.Don't
select a hairstyle or haircut that is impossible to maintain at home on
your own:
While many Hollywood
celebrities have a expert hairdresser at their fingertips to make sure
their tresses look paparazzi perfect, most consumers have to deal with
their hair without those constant hairdressing services. |
|
3.Don't skimp on proper hair care or hair
styling products: Some
hair care lines sold in drugstores may work for some types of hair and
some styles. However, if you have highlighted or chemically processed
hair or require added volume or control, the less expensive non-salon
lines might not do the trick and could make styling your hair a constant
challenge. Consider your options. You
may be able to compromise by buying both mass market
and
high quality products and alternate between them for best results. Or
maybe your hairstyle requires high quality hair care lines. Be honest
and don't work hard to achieve a great style only to undermine it with
products that don't support it. |
|
4. Don't use the wrong
hairstyling tools:
There
are many different tools available to create fabulous styles. These
tools range from blow dryers and curling irons to hot rollers and round
brushes. Make sure you use the proper tools when re-creating your
style. If
you're unsure what tools to use, ask your hairdresser to give you a
lesson at the salon. It may be impossible to copy the style your
professional hair consultant designed for you if you don't deploy the
same styling techniques, products and tools. |
|
5.
Don't overuse hairstyling products:
Less is
more when it comes to utilizing styling products. If you overdo the
gels, mousse and hair sprays you risk developing product build-up on
your tresses which can make your hair misbehave. |
|
6.
Don't copy celebrity hairstyles without caution:
Keep in
mind that Demi Moore and Jessica Simpson can wear just about any
hairstyle their heart desires because they have professional
hairdressers custom designing those styles to maximize their best
features and minimizing their less attractive. What
looks fabulous on Demi and Jessica may not look the same on you unless
you truly look exactly like them, have the same type of hair and wear
the exact shade of hair color and cosmetics. Set
fair expectations and you won't be disappointed. |
|
7.
Don't ignore high end cosmetology schools as hairstyling options:
Some of
the higher end schools such as Toni & Guy and Paul Mitchell employ
talented and seasoned professionals as instructors. The schools have
very high standards for the quality of hairdresser they turn out. As a
result, a high end Cosmo school is a great place for getting some
hairstyling work performed, even if it is just a slight shaping and trim
to maintain your high priced style from a different salon. In
fact, a great option is to have your hairstyle created at a top notch
salon but have maintenance performed at the Cosmo schools to average out
your hair style maintenance costs. |
|
8.
Don't be a slave to hair trends:
Hairstyles change constantly as fashion change. Instead of being a
slave to hair trends, find a hairstyle that works best for you and
maintain that base look. If you want to update your tresses to keep
them looking fresh, opt for a change in hair color, highlights,
lowlights or slight texture. If you look great in a bob, keep that as
your basic style but work with your hairdresser to keep it looking
contemporary. |
|
9.
Don't ignore hair accessories as a fabulous hairstyling option:
Some
hair consumers mistakenly believe that hair accessories are only
applicable for young people or certain types of hair. This is not
correct. Any hair accessory can be adopted for any age, hair type,
texture, fashion or style. Use these fabulous fashion accessories to
instantly change your look without a trip to the salon. |
|
10.
Don't count out hair extensions as a way to achieve different hairstyles:
Whether
you want a temporary hairstyle change that a clip-in hair extension can
offer or a more permanent change for 3-4 months, hair extensions
have come a long way
towards affordability and high quality. The
Jessica Simpson clip-in hair extensions are a great first step towards
experimenting with new hairstyles in the privacy of your home in just a
few minutes. |
|
If you
enjoy the clip-in extensions then be bold and try a partial head of
fusion style hair extensions for more lasting hairstyle options. |
|
Summary: There
can be just as many don'ts as there are dos when working with your own
personal hairstyle. While it is important to follow the dos, it is also
necessary to keep the don'ts in mind to achieve the hairstyle of your
dreams. |
