Those celebrity women who look so fabulous don’t wake up that way — they make all that good hair happen. And you can too. But getting the perfect hair you desire is not very easy, and sometimes the task can seem impossible as well. You can find a picture of a hairstyle on a celebrity or model that you like, but how it would look on you depends totally on your hair. If you have taken care of your hair in every way possible and still have not achieved your dream hair, then this article is for you. Let’s have a look at a few simple steps that can help you achieve your dream hair.
Find A Style You Love
The first thing you need to do is pick a style that you have always wanted. Do not just go with a style you saw in the magazine. First, analyze your hair and see whether they are naturally straight, curly, silky or dry. Then pick a style that suits your hair best. Then you can consult with a stylist as well if that particular style will be suitable for you or not. Remember, whatever picture you take for style reference do not try to follow them strictly. Make sure the stylist you are visiting is someone you trust. Going to a new stylist for a fresh haircut is not a great idea.
So keep in mind these guidelines for picture-perfect hair:
- Identify celebs whose hair type seems similar to yours. That may be easier to do with casual, paparazzi-type photos, where celebs’ hair seems more natural than in formal, red-carpet shots. When you’ve collected enough “she’s just my type” photos, look through them and choose the styles you like the best.
- Beware of celebrity tress deceptions. Many stars with magnificent manes sometimes wear extensions (think Faith Hill and Beyoncé Knowles). Others, like Nicole Kidman and Minnie Driver, have very curly hair but often blow-dry it stick-straight.
- Be honest about how much effort you’re willing to make. You may love Katie Couric’s bob, but if your hair is wiry, it will take a lot of time and motivation to straighten it every day. So unless your stylist makes house calls, think twice before committing to a demanding ‘do.
- Find a salon you can trust. A good stylist will modify a cut so it suits your face shape and hair type. Explain what you like about your “ideal hair” photo, but be open to feedback from the stylist about elements of the cut that may not work on you.
- Don’t be too literal about the picture you’ve brought. A snapshot is one moment in time. The star’s hair may have looked that way for one second, so don’t fret if yours doesn’t look exactly the same.
- Make the most of your time in the chair. Rather than gossiping with your stylist, talk shop. Don’t hesitate to ask for tips about managing your cut, treating hair problems, or using a certain product or tool.
Keep Your Hair Healthy
Hair gets damaged easily and needs extra care to look perfect. When your hair grows, they start losing protein. So, make sure that you are using healthy products that are providing all the nutrients to your hair. Also, it’s a nice habit of cutting the edges of your hair as that maintains its healthier look. You should also focus on foods that are rich in protein and is healthy for the hair. There are different hair products for different hairstyles, so make sure you pick the one that is suitable for your hair.
Be Bold
Sometimes you can get bored of a hairstyle even if you love it. If you have a hairstyle for so long that you cannot even remember what you looked like before that, then maybe it is time for some change. Don’t worry; you do not have to start with a haircut directly. You can use artificial hair extensions like bangs, wigs, lace closures, etc. If you find it suitable, you can go for a haircut, or you can just use the piece of wig whenever you like. You can also change the look by giving a break to your hair straightener or dryer. Another way of changing your look is to dye your hair with a new color. You can opt for a color that goes away after 25-30 washes.
Use Styling Products
Sometimes it is nearly impossible to get that hairstyle you want because your hair does not stay in that direction. In this case, you can take help from certain hair styling products which can keep your hair in your desired style for as long as you like. A lot of models give credit to products for their perfect hairstyle.
Find the Best Color Kit for You
acing shelf upon shelf of hair-color products is enough to make a person panic. But don’t. There are only two choices you need to make: which formula and which shade.
- Formulas: Do you want something temporary and gentle (read: no peroxide)? If so, look for a box labeled “semi-” or “demi-permanent.” Either will cover a few grays, subtly enhance your base color, and last about four weeks. For longer-lasting results, choose a box that says “permanent.” This formula lifts some of your natural color with peroxide then deposits pigment so color goes into each strand.
- Shades: To find the right color, don’t go by the photo of the model on the packages. Look for tones that closely match your mane — then go one or two shades darker or lighter. If you want a bigger change, you may need a colorist after all.
