Hairstylists often say "hair is alive", which actually describes its elasticity and changeability, especially for people with naturally curly hair.
Many people find that their hairdressers often seem to "cut shorter and shorter" when getting their hair cut. Although a small part of this may really be the hairdresser's mistake, most of the time it is based on professional judgment and necessary temporary adjustments to the design.
The main reason for this is the "internal structure" of the hairstyle. Just like building a house, when designing a hairstyle, you also need to have a "three-dimensional" sensitivity, which is what we often call 3D.
When cutting each hairstyle, different contours and support points will be designed according to the head shape, face shape, length, layer and hair flow.
If the hairstylist is more professional and has already touched upon the overall styling, he will also consider body shape, personality, daily attire, way of speaking, occupation, age group that needs to be adjusted... and so on.
After all, getting a hairstyle is not just about looking good on your head, but about matching it with the overall look so that everything appears natural and enhances the overall beauty.
For naturally curly hair, as the hair is cut shorter and shorter, the curls will become more obvious, causing changes in the originally preset hairstyle proportions.
Because this will affect the overall visual effect and the fluffiness of the hairstyle, in order to correct these details, hairstylists often need to readjust the layers and angles, resulting in a phenomenon that seems to be "the hair gets shorter and shorter".
When we are halfway through trimming, we will rinse the hair again or wet it with a water gun, and then blow dry it smoothly with a hair dryer to restore the hair flow to its most natural shape, and then trim it again according to the way the hair rebounds.
However, if we communicate with customers in advance and recommend hair flow correction with perm, these problems can be greatly reduced.
Perming can stabilize the direction of hair flow, reduce natural curling and prevent excessive expansion.
In this way, hairstylists can design the desired style more easily and accurately without having to repeatedly adjust the length temporarily to cope with sudden changes in curls.
This is actually the reason why most hairstylists will use a hair dryer and a round comb to help you adjust the hair flow before cutting your hair. The main purpose is to reduce the difficulty of cutting hair and make it easier for you to continue cutting.
But for customers with severe natural curls, if they don’t have their hair permed afterwards, most of their hair will go awry when it comes into contact with water after getting a trim. I believe that if you have been troubled by natural curls for years, you can definitely empathize with this.
In summary, the completion of a hairstyle is not only about cutting the length, but more about the interaction with hair quality, curl and hair flow.
If you can deal with these variables in advance through perming or other methods, you can make the styling design more free and stable, and reduce the trouble of cutting your hair halfway only to find that it's getting shorter and shorter.
# I really am a hairstylist!
I just rarely post articles related to hairstyles! 😗
After all, my clients don’t like to ask me questions about hairstyles, so there aren’t that many topics to write about, and I don’t like taking so-called work photos all the time.
Not only does it involve privacy issues, but just because she is suitable doesn't mean you are suitable. Everyone should have his or her own suitable appearance.
And what does posting a bunch of photos of hairstyles mean?
Are you working hard or are you better than others?
Rather than posting photos of people looking beautiful only after adjustments, I prefer to see photos of their daily lives taken after the styling is done. That’s the most natural and beautiful look without any retouching!
