I will certainly remember that. Makes sense.<br /> If my hair is cut short the wave is cut off and it is stick straight. If it is mid length the wave is there. When it is long the hair is heavy enough to way down the wave. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-cuts/page/2#post-30134 Thu, 09 Oct 2008 14:55:57 +0000 Amanda 30134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>San - I was thinking about what you said about your hair sticking out because it has some wave. My hair is fine, thick and has natural wave. I find that the length has a big impact on whether or not the wave makes my hair stick out rather than flip under or out. For example, most recently (before this current cut) my hair was mid-neck length. I really wanted this length and my hair stylist tried three different cuts -- but one side always flipped out and the other under and it was a lot of work to make them match. I finally had to accept that mid-neck length hits the waves in my hair when they are going different directions. If my hair is shoulder length or between chin and ear length, I don't have that problem. So if there is a style you like, you might want to try it at different lengths to see if one works better than the other with your particular wave. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-cuts/page/2#post-30039 Thu, 09 Oct 2008 01:26:53 +0000 Anonymous 30039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes Aj, I'm excited to get there myself.

I have learned an immense amount of information here and have a new interest in getting my hair spiced up and some great new glasses. I will look for a Vidal Sassoon hair stylist. I haven't been to one in years. My hair does have quite a bit of wave on it's own, now if I could jst get a structured cut to work with it. For those who live in the Puget sound region I have been going to Gene Juaraz, and Gary Manual for years and I think they teach their own methods of cutting.<br /> Thanks for the hair drying techniques. They are all vey helpful!<br /> Also, if I did have the haircut I posted, it would have to be modified and not be in my face. That would drive me batty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-cuts#post-29859 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 11:55:20 +0000 Nicole 29859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi San, I love the first hair cut you posted and think you would rock it. It is a bit dramatic, and having that much hair in your face, might drive you crazy--but the overall cut is good.</p> <p>Here are some style tips that I got from my hairdress that really work well for me. (I too have fine hair with a bit of wave to it). </p> <p>Gently towel dry your hair, comb it out, and put a little styling gel (I use Pantene) in your hand. Rub it together in your hands to activate it. Then gently apply to your hair, always running your hands down your hairshaft. Don't just tossle it in, or hang upside down--the key is to keep your hands moving in a down direction. This keeps your hair from looking frizzy or like straw. </p> <p>Then with a hairdryer, set on hot high, blow dry your hair w/out any styling tool, just use your fingers, running them thru your hair. But this is key---ALWAYS point the hairdryer down. Never hang upside down while drying hair--and don't hold the hairdryer under your hair pointing up. You can toussle your hair with your fingers as you dry it (this will give it a little extra body) or you can run your fingers thru your hair like a comb, for a flatter look. Stop once your hair is 98% dry. </p> <p>Using a large round bristle brush, and your hairdryer on low fan, medium heat, grab the hair in small sections with the brush and direct the heat on the hair for just a few seconds. It's already dry, this is just directing your hair. </p> <p>I always start with my bangs because they seem to be finish drying the fastes. If you want it to flip up, roll it up--if you want it straight roll it under, but drag it out at the ends, and if you want it curled under, then hold the dryer over the end of the hair while it's in the barrel of the brush. Do this section by section (it only takes about 1 or 2 minutes because your hair is already dry). </p> <p>Final step-- w/the round brush, grab a section of hair at the crown of your head. Wrap the hair around the brush (rolling it towards the back of your head), like you're wrapping it in a curler. Direct the heat on the brush for a few seconds, and then move forward and repeat. You should be able to do from the crown to the front in 3 sections. Now run your hands thru the top of your hair--(you can even tease the crown if you want a little extra fullness on top.) </p> <p>And one final tip--if your hairdryer has a "cool" setting--use it to finalize the position of your hair. It's actually the cooling process that "sets" our hair. The heat makes it maleable, and when it cools down, it holds the position. That's how I get my end flips to stay in all day. </p> <p>I know this sounds like a long process, but it takes me about 7 minutes and my hair is much longer than yours. That's one good thing about fine hair--it dries quickly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-cuts#post-29857 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 11:23:00 +0000 shiny 29857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not a hair expert but feel qualified to comment on the flippy hair issue, and the flat on top issue, as I've had both, and so have my DDs. So I have come to believe that is a cut issue - not a hair issue. </p> <p>San, if you can find a Vidal Sassoon salon or trained hairdresser, I highly recommend. Their philosophy is that it is all about the cut. The cuts are "precision" cuts and you should theoretically end up with a wash-and-go cut that looks great air-dryed, or blown dry without much need for product. They purposely work with your hair, not against it. </p> <p>It appears to me that your hair is not really straight as a stick: it has some body and bounce and wave. Does it curl or wave more if you let it air dry? </p> <p>I do think a choppier haircut will help with the flippy issue. Bobs that are blunt cuts with very little layering usually result in flippy issues and cowlicks showing up in weird places, if you have any bit of wave at all. </p> <p>As Ana suggests, you might even benefit from a bit of razoring. I don't care for this on my hair because it's very fine and just ends up finer- plus grows out awkwardly. It is best for thicker hair, I think. But it could work for you. I guess I should add it has worked great - but only if the hairdresser is very judicious and razors just the front a tiny bit - and does not razor all over. </p> <p>Better than razoring is when, at the end of the cut, the hairdresser goes piece by piece - that has been cut straight and even - and cuts in little nips (I have no idea what this technique is called). Sometimes they use special scissors. But it's not razoring. Ana - do you know what this is called? This is what I think gives the choppiness and makes it different than a blunt cut. </p> <p>Flatness on top: if you mean at the crown, you need shorter layers in the back. Really short. This will give you more volume and height at the crown. For example the layers at my crown are about 4 inches long, and the layers underneath that are even shorter. This is what I was referring to on another thread as a "graduated" bob. It has lots of layers in the back, but is kept longer in the front. Depending on how much you angle from back to the front you get what is known as the Pob (Posh's Bob). The angling is critical and should basically follow the line of your chin, with the front part an inch or even two longer than your chin. Posh's angling is very dramatic. I've had that cut too and it's cute - but I find I need to flat iron to keep the front part straight. </p> <p>If you don't angle quite so dramatically, you get what you found on hairfinder - which is nearly the same cut I have right now. I can (and frequently do) tuck behind my ears for different look too. At that length, you can go all piecey if you like - but it requires pomade or something similar applied just to the ends to funk it all up and make pieces stick out this way and that. </p> <p>Another question for you: when you leave the salon, is it flipping out or perfect? If it's only when you try to duplicate back at home that the flipping starts happening, then you probably need to practice your blow drying technique. Every time I go to the salon, I watch carefully and ask numerous questions. I've slowly improved my blow drying ability over the years. Do you have a super large, round brush with metal and vents? That is the best type of brush - even for short hair, not just for long hair. </p> <p>One last thing: your part. Have you every tried a more dramatic part - farther over? Or does your hair just always naturally want to part the exact same place? Or have you tried an uneven part? Uneven - i.e., a zig-zag part - are are great - especially when dyed hair starts growing out. Hides the roots and also adds some lift too. </p> <p>The Meg Ryan do is adorable too and I really like that option! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-cuts#post-29853 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 05:13:51 +0000 Angie 29853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have nothing further to add, but that you look utterly ADORABLE in that picture! You radiate such warmth :-). Hubby is so cute in the background. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-cuts#post-29849 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 04:39:11 +0000 Anonymous 29849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the tip on the Aveda Blue malva Shiny.<br /> It's incredible what others see in a person compared to what we see in ourselves. I LOVE a really good red for hair. I don't know exactly what red but some are just so beautiful and opens the door for great color combos in clothing. However I see a lot of red in my skin so always thought red hair was out of the question.<br /> Also I don't think of myself as having much in the way of facial bone structure. It could be as I lose fat in my face with age I am showing more bone structure and just haven't realized it.<br /> One problem I fight with my hair style is having it always go so flat on top. I've been instructed on using the lifting products and how to blow dry. As soon as I use a pomade it goes flat.<br /> You can see from my picture that one side of my hair flips out, and the other side turns inwards, and it always has been that way. I cannot fight it. That is why I thought I should just go with it. By a choppy style I think of the one I posted from Ana's link, only for me not so long down in the eyes, but the layers are raggedy of sorts. I could blow it, use some product and let it be a bit wild.<br /> Now I am armed with conversation for the hairstylist. Thanks.<br /> I'm very excited to go looking for glasses frames to. With more edgy glasses working with my hair having a bit more flair and polish I will feel refreshed.<br /> You're all great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-cuts#post-29842 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 03:06:30 +0000 Ana 29842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shiny's advice is great, and I agree with her wholeheartedly. By coincidence, my hairstylist owns the salon I go to, along with his wife. They are a great couple. And I found him by asking a girl I worked with where she got her hair done, because her cut was so cute, and I could tell even though it wasn't what I wanted, it was well executed, done by someone who knew what they were doing.</p> <p>Bobby is going to flip out when I show him what I want tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-cuts#post-29841 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 03:00:28 +0000 shiny 29841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm trying to stay awake for Daily Show, so bear with me because I'm sleepy. ;-)</p> <p>San, I think you look great with short hair, and you could rock that cut you posted - easily! You would look great with any length hair - you have envious bone structure. But if short and sassy is what you want - go for it!!! </p> <p>The yellow hair thing: try Aveda Blue Malva. It's designed for grey hair - I bought some for DH. But my hairdresser said it works great to keep blonde blonde (whether dyed blonde or real blonde). So I've been using it and it does wonders - takes out brassiness, brighten ups your hair, offsets any weird water issues that may be affecting hair color, etc. It's this blue colored shampoo and there's some reason adding blue helps. This is also a great tip for anyone who gets a bad dye job that's too brassy and you want to tone down the brassiness. </p> <p>I also think you could go completely white or silver grey and totally rock that look!! I sometimes follow another fashion blog, and there was a post all about how to go grey gracefully if you are thinking that direction at all. </p> <p>And I suspect you could even go with red too... seriously, you could pull off quite a range of options, with your coloring, bone structure, smile, etc. </p> <p>As for hairstylists, I love having long relationships with stylists but either 1) I find someone I love, and he takes off for NYC and I'm stuck back at square one or 2) I stay with someone for years on end, and they get bored with me and/or I get bored with them because they get stuck thinking of me in one way and don't try anything creative. </p> <p>With that said, here is what I have learned to do - </p> <p>1) If you see someone with a great cut - someone who's hair is similar texture etc - ask them where they go. Yeah, even total strangers. </p> <p>2) Walk in to salons and ask for on-the-spot consultations. Go with the one that you like best. </p> <p>Finally (and most importantly) if you can afford it:</p> <p>3) Always have the salon owner do your cut. (FYI, you don't have to tip the owner so even if he/she charges more, keep that part in mind). </p> <p>I have always had the best luck when I had the salon owner do the cut. I figure they didn't become a salon owner without having already built up a following of happy clients. </p> <p>(success! Daily show is on!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-cuts#post-29840 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 02:48:34 +0000 Ana 29840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know. That's a great cut.

Looks great doesn't it! A hairdresser persuaded me to have my hair (shoulderlength) layered a week or so again. I thought it was this huge change but not a soul has commented on it! </p>
