How to choose a fashionable haircut
Hair change can really change the sense of self for the better, but for obvious reasons (and not always rational) haircut and hair color do not change as often as a manicure. We tried to figure out where to go and what to look for, if you want to make some changes with your hair, but how and what to do with them is not clear.
The most obvious move of a person who is going to change his hairstyle is to look in the "Trends" section of a glossy magazine or website. Selections like "5 fashionable season cuts" can really provide minimal immersion in the subject and in some cases even solve the problem: let's say, fashionable a few years ago and still not deceased ombre - not a radical, but significant change that can be quickly eliminated. However, even in such cases, it is worthwhile to imagine how and by whom the trends are established, and only then decide whether to try them on or not.
Selections that flash in print or on the Internet are most often subjective editorial choices. Yes, there are agencies that analyze and predict trends and release trendbooks for the seasons to come. Manufacturers of cosmetics, accessories, styling work with them (Clarins, for example, cooperates with NellyRodiLab), and, in theory, the editors have access to them only with financial resources - a trend book can cost under 3000 euros. Sometimes collections of trends make up brands that work at shows, and their representatives send materials to the editorial office - but by this time, the editor most often looked at a few hundred, or even thousands of photos from shows, put in new eyes and chose a dozen trends for the next couple - three months. In general, the manner in which a publication calls fashionable is influenced by many factors: the taste of the editor, the opinions of other sites and magazines that he can rely on (not all glossy journalists have access to backstage, like the same Style.com), and, of course, what exactly the leading stylists come up with for shows.
If you don’t want to trust the collections blindly, you can search for specific stylists and find their work and interviews. Each professional, despite the fact that he adapts to the general theme of the collection, has his own style and preferences. It is worth noting that some hairdressers fundamentally consider hair as an art object and do not attach special importance to the viability of the hairstyle. The X-presion Creativos team, for example, is one of these: for their gallery of cosmic beauty styling, you would like to have a separate board on Pinterest, but you shouldn’t take it as a direct guide to action (however, you can check feelings and already formed desires). At the master level shows of Guido Palau, Sam McKnight and Eugene Suleiman also do not designed for everyday wear hairstyles, but, again, the images from the podium should not be repeated, but interpreted.
Other stylists pay more attention to the people themselves - we are now about those who work with celebrities. It’s safest to focus on them: the stars need to look, firstly, modernly, and secondly, harmoniously, therefore their hairdressers must show remarkable sharpness and adjust the trends to the appearance. Of these, we can highlight Aaron Grenia, Frank Iskerdo, and Chase Kyucero, who include celebrity hairstyles like Jared Leto and Mina Suvari. The most convenient way is to follow their instagram works - not even because of speed, but this feeling of involvement and the ability to peep some life hacking. Well, the phone is always at hand. By the way, about the heroes: in spite of the fact that street style is going through hard times, there are characters that are interesting and useful to follow, - a profile with a bunch of selfies of a person you like can become a bigger source of inspiration than a trend book. It is impossible to mention all the pleasant faces in one article, but, for example, we like to follow the metamorphoses of the styling of Michel Harper and Ivania Carpio.
But perhaps the best way to choose a hairstyle is to comprehend everything that you like in principle, not in the field of beauty, and try to integrate the elements of these things into your look. If the emerging trend for zero is close to you, you can go to watch the archives of magazines a decade ago. If in spite of everything nostalgia for the nineties has not disappeared or, on the contrary, has returned, nothing prevents to go to the salon with a portrait of Jane Lane and ask for the same square. We support the most customized approach in everything: trends are clues, and you should not rely on them entirely. But if there is a clear desire to break off and dye your hair red, you should not ignore it just because it is not fashionable or, on the contrary, too fashionable.
