Different Ways to Change Your Hairstyle 

Changing your hair is like changing your personality. You become a different person when you change your hairstyle, so it isn’t a decision that should be taken too lightly. Whether it is braving the big chop or revamping the color and style, it is always best to do your research or get some advice before you jump right into it. 

Simple Haircut – Big Decision 

The quickest decision when people want to change their hairstyle is to cut it in one way or another. It seems quite a simple decision; however, most people are mistaken. Getting a haircut isn’t as simple as just going to a salon, sitting in a chair, asking for a hairstyle, and then walking out looking and feeling great – let’s be realistic. Different haircuts suit different face shapes, and you must be aware of that before you commit to a style. To do this, you should research what would look best with your face shape and go from there. 

For example, for a:

  • Round Face – textured bob, pixie cuts, and deep side partings 
  • Square Face – Long layers or subtle bangs 
  • Long Face – Loose curls or a blowout 

When you go to your chosen salon/hairdressers, you should always ask their advice on what would look the best and trust them. Remember, they aren’t going to want their clients to walk away looking bad because that reflects poorly on them and their business.

Wigs and Extensions Galore 

If someone doesn’t want to commit to a new hairstyle straightaway, there are ways to test what you look like first. Many beauty salons now offer wigs and hair extensions as a treatment as well, such as Bravadas Wig Shops, where they offer the option of wigs and hair extensions for competitive prices. Beauty salons that offer these types of hair treatments will be equipped with specialists, so you are ensured to get the right type of wig or extensions that match your face shape and coloring, and they come out looking very natural. If you aren’t sure what hairstyle suits you, this is a great way to see what works best. You know what people say – there is no harm in testing the water before you go for a full dip. 

Social Media Can Help 

Everyone wants the hairstyle that their favorite celebrity is perfecting, so when that occurs, social media can help for inspiration. You can use all types of social media platforms to help you decide on what hairstyle you want such as Instagram, Pinterest, and even YouTube. Even hairstyles can go online for the latest hair trends, so they are prepared for the wave of customers asking for the most popular cut. However, just remember that not every haircut that your fave celebs wear is going to suit you, so don’t get too carried away and end up with a hairstyle that you hate. 

Conclusion 

Taking advice from other people and getting inspiration from the internet are all great ways to help you decide on a new style but remember that ultimately it is your hair and how you feel is the most important aspect. Don’t lose yourself because you want to fit in with the latest trends. Remember, a new ‘do’ doesn’t always have to mean a new you.

milk_shake Launches Cold Brunette Shampoo + Conditioner

Salon-quality hair care brand milk_shake is excited to announce the launch of two new products! The Cold Brunette Shampoo ($24) and Cold Brunette Conditioner ($26) use a blue pigment that reduces brassiness in any shade of brunette hair.
Cold Brunette products can be used whenever your hair is looking too warm or dull and can even make cool toning treatments last longer. The active ingredients like moringa oil, sunflower seed antioxidants, milk proteins and quinoa proteins give hair the nutrients it needs for effortless shine, manageability, and softness. For more intense results you can leave the shampoo in for up to 5 minutes and conditioner in for up to 20 minutes for guaranteed long-lasting color over time.
When brown hair is color treated or lightened, red and yellow tones come through as residual pigments, creating unwanted warm tones in the hair. The formula of the Cold Brunette Shampoo and Conditioner offsets these warm tones with a deep blue pigment that is designed for natural, or dyed brown, light brown, or dark blonde hair. What separates milk_shake from other brands is that the products utilize milk proteins and fruit extracts to promote strong, healthy hair. milk_shake products are also available on Amazon!
