Change It If You Don't Like It:
If you're tired of the same old hairstyle and want to shake things up, it's time to consider a change. You can completely change your hair type by getting a perm, using a flat iron, curling iron, or using hair products. So if you’re not vibing the hair you were born with just remember you can do something about it. And yes, we’re serious about perms. Embrace the resurgence!! Yes, you heard it right. Perms, once a relic of the '80s, are making a comeback with a modern twist. As this article explains, “These aren’t your grandma’s perms that leave hair feeling fried and crunchy. Today, the perm is meant to mimic having a permanent salt spray in the hair.”
The new wave of perms offers versatile styling options, from loose beachy waves to defined curls. Consult with your barber to discuss whether a perm is suitable for your hair type and the look you desire. Embrace the change and watch your confidence soar.
Find Out Your Face Shape and What Haircuts Flatter Your Hair:
Understanding your face shape is crucial in determining which haircuts will complement your features and enhance your overall appearance. Whether you have an oval, square, round, or heart-shaped face, there are haircut styles that can accentuate your best features. A skilled barber can recommend suitable cuts and styles that flatter your hair type and face shape. Don't hesitate to seek their expertise and let them work their magic. Want to know now?

Don't Wash Your Hair Too Often:
Contrary to popular belief, washing your hair every day isn't always the best approach. Overwashing can strip your hair of its natural oils, leaving it dry, dull, and prone to breakage. Instead, aim to find a balance. Opt for a shampooing routine that suits your hair type. For some, washing every other day or a few times a week is sufficient, while others may require more frequent washing. Experiment and find the sweet spot that keeps your hair clean, healthy, and hydrated.
Pro Tip: To extend the life of your hair between washes, blow dry your hair with a round brush. This seals down the cuticle layer of your hair giving it that refreshed healthy look. This will allow your hair to build up the natural oils it needs to stay healthy and shiny. And you’ll save money on product!
The quest for "good hair" doesn't have to be an enigma anymore. Remember, a skilled barber is your ally in this journey, providing guidance, expertise, and personalized recommendations along the way. So, step into the barber shop, share your goals, and let the transformation begin.
