so in today's video I wanted to talk
about what to consider before you chop
off your hair or if you even just change
the length of your hair and this is a no
way to discourage you from getting a
haircut if anything this might actually
make you want to do it
so the first thing you need to consider
is how do you normally wear your hair
we normally tend to have a style that we
stick to for more than sixty or seventy
percent of the time so if you normally
want your hair down you're kind of open
to whatever and if you wear your hair up
you definitely need to keep at least a
length enough that you can still tie
your hair back even if it's in a low
ponytail say if you're like all my
clients that are you know personal
trainers or workout daily they need to
get their hair out of their face without
using five hundred bobby pins obviously
so because that's going to get old
really fast the next thing you need to
consider obviously whatever length it is
you're thinking about test it out see if
it's flattering with your face shape
with your features even with your body
shape now a lot of people think that
hair only has to do with face and it
actually has a lot to do with your body
shape with the right hair like shape and
cut you can actually look taller slimmer
happier a lot of times like people don't
realize that so say you're going for
something a little bit shorter than chin
length test that out look and see like
does that look good on me and try and
pin it up look at it from behind as well
get like you know a second mirror and
check the backside and make sure that
you like how that looks look at it not
just how it hits your neck and how it
hits your back but look at it also from
far away like how does that suit your
body if you're very tall very thin or
like a very short bob might look I'm
proportionate to your body because you
know you're like tall and you have this
like teeny bit of hair I'm not saying
that that's there's anything wrong with
that
keeping proportions kind of right is
just really soothing and pleasing to the
eye pretend you already have the haircut
clip it do whatever you know that it
doesn't have to like look perfect but
just so you can see if it hits at that
area like how does that look on your
overall not just your face but your
whole body
the next one you have to consider is how
long do you normally spend styling your
hair there's a huge misconception that
short hair is just walk out the door
easy and fun and it can definitely look
that way after you've styled it normally
when you have a longer hair you can tie
it up in a bun if you don't want to mess
with it so you didn't have time to blow
it out you can kind of conduct do all
these fun things if your hair is shorter
if it is not styled it's not gonna look
good unless you have amazing gorgeous a
texture in your hair that you can
literally like wash and go in that case
then you're super lucky and this
obviously doesn't really apply to you
but do consider the styling time it will
take to create that look so like the
really blunt kind of short bobs are so
in and everyone thinks like wow I can
like shut off like half my hair and it
just looks so like wispy and fun and
there's all this natural texture and if
your hair is like straight you're
obviously gonna have to add curl to it
to make it look really like fun and
thick and really playful otherwise if
you have like finer hair and you get you
know a fairly shorter haircut then it
kind of just like lays flat on the days
you don't style it it's not going to
look you know as appealing I think is
you're imagining so I definitely take
that into consideration try to figure
out the time you would need to style
this haircut just because it's less
hairier styling doesn't necessarily mean
that it's going to cut your time in half
and then the next one which we kind of
just touched is do you have the right
texture for that cut and this is more
for the girls that have really thick
curly just full volume full body hair
and this happens so many times I they'll
come in with this long gorgeous thick
hair and they're like I'm just tired of
styling this just cut it really short so
that I don't have to deal with it and
I'm like oh my gosh your problems are
going to be doubled if I do that if you
imagine like when hair is long and thick
and full it's long and it's heavy so
kind of like waves it down the more you
cut off the more it's going to just puff
out so your hair texture is probably one
of the most important and deciding on
what
to go for now if you're the kind of
person that you know spends 45 minutes
on their hair daily and you're used to
the blowout you used to may be using hot
tools on your hair say you do have
frizzy hair but you want that short bob
if you're willing to put the time then
absolutely there's absolutely no rule or
nothing that says you shouldn't have the
hair of your dreams just be aware that
you know you will be spending extra time
on your hair if you're basically kind of
going against the rule like me I have a
frizzy hair and I like to wear my hair
either super straight or you know with a
wave in it so I know that either way I'm
gonna have to use a hot tool but my hair
is blonde and my hair is not naturally
blonde so I know that you know every
couple weeks there's the upkeep of the
color my hair actually kind of volumizes
at the root but not in the right places
so it looks kind of kinky and funny at
the root so if I want voluminous kind of
roots I have to blow out my hair the
point here is that you can still have
whatever you want it just might be if
you're going against the texture or
whatever of your hair you were gonna
have to put in the work and that's all
that this is and so the last one is
obviously make sure it fits your
lifestyle as a hairdresser obviously
just want to give you a clients like
their dream hair no matter what it's
it's very important that we ask you know
like how do you normally wear your hair
what kind of job you do I think
sometimes in the beginning of that hair
appointment after you ask like how how
are you doing and you know like show me
a picture of what you want and we've
kind of gone through a pretty detailed
consultation when we ask questions about
what you guys do like do you have kids
and all these things we promise we're
not trying to be nosy but it really
helps us know what hair is right for you
and what we can do for you so yes that
is it for this video I hope that if you
are considering you know doing a
different style or different cut for
your hair I hope that this is definitely
just pushed you more in that direction
