Wow the amazing hair that moved! I can remember my sister coming home and her hair was “moving” blowing in the wind, when she bent over her hair would follow. All I could say was Wow, “who did your hair”? Of course she told me and I immediately booked an appointment. I remember getting the top half of my hair cut very short on the sides (side burns) and short on the top and long in the back. I think it was called a bi-level cut or mullet and I loved it!
I was in or just out of high school and was turning heads! Which brings me to a time when many women in my community weren’t cutting their hair. So often I would hear things like “your hair is your glory” “women aren’t supposed to cut their hair” and the reasons why were never explained nor revealed.
For as long as I can remember I was fascinated with the “shears” and cutting hair and would cut bangs on the girls hair in my neighborhood. (LOL) So I was never afraid of cutting hair or getting my hair cut. For those who knew me from my high school days were shocked when I eventually went from a medium length Bob haircut to a very short cut and once again I loved it.
In today’s evolution of style much has changed by many stylists educating clients on the importance of cutting the tresses or at least trimming those ends. Whether you are wearing a relaxer or sporting the “natural” it is utterly important to trim the tresses! A hair trim or cut can make a world of a difference in the bottom line of a hairstyle. A good rule of thumb is every eight to ten weeks to trim those ends or cut the hair. I love precise haircuts, cuts that are of a specific cut or style based on facial features, lifestyle, careers and hair density and texture.
So, if you’re ever interested in cutting your hair, seek a professional stylist for a consultation but go in with a vision or a picture for an inspiration. But remember a good stylist may consider your inspiration however she or he will customize a look that is uniquely you considering those factors that I mentioned before. With careful consideration of your new look and a consultation with your qualified stylist, soon you’ll be turning heads and feeling good, confident and courageous with every step you take!
