The beautiful days are coming soon and the urge to cut your hair short is going through your head, isn’t it? This somewhat daring hairstyle has seen a resurgence of interest in recent years. She offers a style and character that is far from displeasing.
Here are some ideas for taking the plunge and going short;
YOUR HAIRCUT TO SUIT YOUR FACE
If you have a round face, the shortcut you need is a cut with a small section on the forehead and a few lengths around the face to refine your features. If you have a rectangular face, go straight for a shortcut with a lot of volume on the top and leave little lengths on the sides. While square faces prefer a short haircut where the forehead is open, an oval face will easily wear any short haircut, even those that are very short boyish.
YOU’RE CUT TO SUIT YOUR HAIR
Whether you have thin hair or thick hair, the same short haircut isn’t for everyone. For fine hair, go for a pixie cut or a layered cut, as this will give the hair substance. The shortcut avoids that flattened effect that thin hair offers when it is a certain length. If you have thick hair, the shortcut should be chosen carefully if you don’t want to end up with a ball print above your head.
Why not try the relatively short or slightly long boyish cut in this case?
AND FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF YOUR HAIRCUT
The major advantage of a short hair styles is that you no longer spend endless hours in hair salons. A hairdryer, a flat brush, a little gel or mousse in a pinch, and your fingers are all you need to style your hair quickly every morning. Remember that a short haircut needs to be refreshed regularly, every 4-6 weeks to keep its shape. A good hairdresser will work on your hairstyle so that it comes on its own, almost without any intervention on your part, even for a short haircut.
THE DIFFERENT HAIRSTYLING TECHNIQUES
Working in a hairdressing salon requires knowledge of the products used (shampoos, treatments, dyes, etc.) but also of the various hairdressing techniques.
What are they?
Small vocabulary is useful for understanding the world of hairdressing.
SWEEPING
Here is a technique often requested in hair salons.It does not consist in covering the hair (white for example), but in melting them into the mass while lightening the hair mass with care.
A BRONDE
This technique is particularly suitable for people with blond hair. This consists of lightly darkening the current blond while retaining the blond, which is why we find this color between blond and brown.
COLORING
Coloring is literally a dye, that is, the hair color is coated so that their natural pigmentation changes.
There are two types of coloring:
Natural or vegetable coloring: a mixture of hot water and plants or algae; Chemical coloring: carried out with or without ammonia depending on the desired result.
DISCOLORATION
Here, the hair loses its natural pigmentation using the oxidation process. Several hairstyling techniques use bleaching such as “flash” which is applied by rubbing the hair between the fingers to gain shine and light. Likewise, the icing accentuates the volumes and the relief. It is applied locally along the length and towards the tip of the hair.
THE SCRUB
Here is a technique that is aimed at too dark colorings. Pigments are removed from the coloring by oxidation. Then we re-color with a lighter shade.
AN OMBRE HAIR
This technique aims to create a difference in tones between the root, lengths, and ends. Unlike tie & dye which turns out to be very marked, ombre hair gives a more melted, less radical result.
THE PATINA (OR VARNISH)
It is a very light coloring based on low oxidation or even without any oxidation. This technique is used to modify an unwanted reflection ideal for giving shine to the hair.
TONE ON TONE
Here is coloring with an oxidant concerning little hydrogen peroxide in order to lighten slightly. We change the color of the hair by one tone as much as possible by playing on the highlights.
