Paging Hair Stylists

lolakimono — Sun, 12 Apr 2020 23:48:09 GMT

A few professional questions, if you don't mind for our scissors wizards.

Looking at this haircut, what kind of hair (weight and texture) do you think is her natural hair?

I see other pictures where her hair looks very thin, but here it appears to be thick.

This looks like minimal day to day maintenance, but the key is to get a good cut and maintain it.

How often do you think this haircut needs to be shaped, for it to look like this (and not turn into a mullet, for example)?

@lolakimono I've had quite a bit of short hair cuts. Of course it always depends on how fast your hair grows, but up keep would be every 4-6 weeks because it's a precise cut and you don't want that "newly cut off" look that happens when someone waits too long.

I was told hair grows an inch a month.

Very cute!

@lolakimono If shorter hair is on the thin side and layers are added in strategic areas, hair can look thicker. Shorter hair requires frequent cutting...4-6 weeks when mine was short and using mousse, gel, etc. to beef it up.

@lolakimono- are you thinking about getting this cut? It looks like a great cut. I agree with you about Victoria's hair. I always thought it looked on the thin side too, but with this cut, it definitely looks thick.

@San Antonio Gal Could she have some extensions in there? It's been my experience having had cuts of various lengths, really short like a pixie is easy...just frequent cuts, this type of cut requires daily styling and lots of product which personally I don't like. Longer hair is more versatile and needs less frequent cutting.

@San Antonio Gal

Thinking about it.

I am a wash and wear girl. I don't use tools or products on my hair, and because of allergies the most I can tolerate is highlights. I will probably never color my hair, when the time comes.

I had a cut that I liked for a few years, but my stylist works part time so I have to book like the next two haircuts at a time. I did go every six weeks, because the back grows very fast and it isn't long before I have a mullet.

I have very thick hair with some wave, but because there is so much of it I usually have it thinned. Right now I have an undercut, where my hair is shaved about 2/3 of the way up underneath my bob. It helps it to lie flat. When she uses the thinning shears, then I get the wiry rooster pieces up top and by the time I get my hair cut again it looks like cotton candy ends. I have done point cutting, which I like better, because it lays flatter.

My stylist charges $50 for a haircut, which is literally just wetting the hair (sometimes a wash) the cut, and I am off. I don't like to be enclosed in the salon with all the smells, so whatever I can do to get in and out quickly is what I do. I don't know that I could commit to every four weeks, if that's what it would take to keep me looking from Roseanne Roseannadanna.

@lolakimono

I wore my hair in a similar style. (mine had more bangs) I had "a lot" (according to my stylist) poker straight (colored) hair. Because I had my roots done every 3 weeks, I had the back trimmed every time. A full hair cut was done every other time. For me, it was quite a bit of work. I used a root spray, as well as rollers for fullness. I also used a flat iron on the ends.

I found this from a study on hair growth.

The average hair growth rate of Asian female participants was nearly 6 inches per year. Comparatively, African female participants' hair grew 4 inches (10 cm) per year, while Caucasian female participants' hair grew a little more than 5 inches (13 cm) per year.

Since hair grows on average 1/2 inch per month, it would be dependent upon how skilled the hairdresser is. Some haircuts I have found lose their shape quickly if the hairdresser is not too skilled with the scissors.

As far as the model's hair texture, she may have very fine hair but if she lightens her hair it swells the hairshaft and it gives incredible amounts of body. Without haircolor, this hairstyle may adhere to the head if someone has fine, wispy hair...even if they have a lot of hair.

When you see celebs in magazines, you have to realize their hair was professionally done, more than likely not by them. You may never be able to get the same look yourself ( chances are doing their own hair, they'll never get the same look either).

i had this cut and my hair is thick, wavy and frizz-prone. it looked great at the salon. i could never get mine to look like i walked out of the salon as my stylist did it. humidity made it really poofy. i had it cut in the summer.

with thick wavy hair you need to be willing to blow dry and style with a round brush, pretty much daily. and use really good product to help straighten. it is a good cut for naturally straight hair.

hair pictured has been double processed or they used a hi-lift permanent color. so it is very thick from color..

@lolakimono

Love this look. If I had straight hair, I'd get it cut just like this. My hair is wavy so I have a 'Halle Berry' pixie cut - like back in the day. May be dated, but with this much curl, the shorter the better. Hugs my head and there is absolutely no maintenace. Come out of the shower - use fingers to swish it around and I'm done.

@lolakimono My 15 year old granddaughter wears a version of this style. She had me cut her long hair off about a year ago.

This style is a natural for her hair. Her hair is very thick and full of body. It always has bounce, it is straight, but has texture and is never flat to her head. She doesn't do much to keep it looking nice. She just blows it dry.

I also wear a version of this style. My hair is straight as a stick, oily and gets stringy. I have to wash it every day. I blow my hair dry upside down to get fullness and lift and touch it up with a cyurling iron just in the front to keep it from hanging in my eyes. my hair tends to go flat.

The style looks good on me, but I don't have the prefect hair to carry it off like my granddaughter.

I would say, if you have course, thick, curly hair that gets frizzy, this would be a difficult style to maintain.

IMO, it is not worth it to fight your hair. If you have straight hair, find a straight style, if your hair is curly or wavy, find a style that works with your hair type.

I don't like being a slave to my hair. Some people don't mind.

You can wear a curly version of this style too.
