What To Ask Your Hairdresser For✂️

Ready to switch up your look? Here’s what you can ask your hairdresser for at your next haircut appointment!

My three biggest tips as a straight haired girl are to ask for medium length, face framing angles and long layers.

... Read moreWhen I recently decided to refresh my straight hair look, I asked my hairdresser specifically for a medium length cut to remove some weight but still keep versatility. Removing a few inches really made my hair feel lighter and easier to style daily. I also requested face-framing angles that lightly grazed my chin, which beautifully highlighted my facial features and added a subtle softness to my overall appearance. Something I learned that made a big difference was asking for long layers especially at the back. This layering technique created movement and added volume, which is incredible for those who, like me, prefer to air dry their hair rather than using heat styling tools. The layers prevented my hair from looking flat and gave me a natural, effortless style. If you're straight-haired and looking for a change, don't hesitate to bring up these styles with your hairdresser. Medium length cuts, tailored face-framing angles, and long layers work harmoniously to refresh your look without committing to drastic changes. Plus, these requests help ensure your hair holds energy and personality, making styling easier and more enjoyable every day.

Hi friends! 🍋 On a first date, the most important thing is to create an environment where you both feel comfortable and can get to know each other. It’s not about serious conversation. You don’t have to talk about deep things, just have fun! I always get so nervous when it comes to first
