How do I know a hairstyle that would suit me best so that I don't keep explaining to my stylist?
ReplyDelete@Jess Always choose styles that will emphasize your good features while concealing your bad ones. for instance, short round face can be flattened by a long crown and shorter sides to minimize the roundness. Take time to consult before a service is started.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'm really glad I can talk to someone about my hair. So, how should I treat my hair which is fine and looks body-less?
ReplyDelete@Jess Opt for texturising. This will create body and soft curls. Use mousse when setting to plump it up. Remember, do not use a relaxer.
