Don’t leave it up to your barber to figure you out
Find out from your barber, the length of your hair. It sounds simple, but without this information, you will be lost in any barbershop or salon. When you get a haircut. even if you hate it, ask the barber what is the length of your hair on the top and side of your hair is approximately. If your barber uses clippers to cut your hair, find out what was the size of the clipper guides he or she used for the top of your head, as well as the transitional size used to get to the sides and eventually the side of your hair itself.
Most haircuts are ruined because of the length of the hair that was left. When you know the size you like or dislike, you can relay that to any barber or hairstylist with accuracy instead of generalized terms of what you want your hair to look like.
Keep pictures of possible haircuts
Most of us carry phones with us most of the time. Use one of your picture apps to keep a file of headshots of haircuts you like. When you know the hair length you like as well as the fashion of the haircut, any barber will have a wealth of accurate information to give you what you want.
Have your barber take pictures of you with your best haircut
When you finally get the perfect haircut you’ve always wanted, DON’T LEAVE THE BARBER CHAIR. Give your phone to the barber and have him take headshot pictures of your haircut. This serves 2 purposes. One, the barber who gave you the haircut you’ve always been looking for will be flattered and will more than likely remember your haircut and spend time making sure it look as perfect as the last time you visited.
2nd, If you go to another barber when you travel or move to another location, you have perfect pictures of how you want your hair to be cut. If they ask, “what length did your last barber cut your hair, you will have that information too.
Don’t experiment with haircuts or hair coloring before special occasions
This goes without saying but there have been many barber mishaps before weddings and other special occasions that can not be fixed because that hair IS GONE. Plan your experiments with your hair during vacations or when you are going to spend time at home for a few days. Hair coloring should be experimented on gradually or if you decide to make a grand difference, let a barber or stylist do it first. Once you know you are confident with the coloring, you can do it yourself with confidence.
Try Minoxidil with a derma roller regiment before you invest in a hair unit
When you can no longer blame your barber because your remaining hair follicles are too spread apart try Minoxidil and a derma roller regiment. Minoxidil does help with hair growth for many follicle challenged men but adding a derma roller regiment will give you even more of a chance to grow back thicker hair. Derma rollers is a micro-needling device for hair loss.
It involves the use of a skin roller with small needles that cause minor skin injuries. It sounds painful but it’s not. Years ago, it was used as an anti-aging skin treatment but now, micro-needling is mostly used as a method of treatment for hair loss. There’s even evidence that it can help with hereditary hair loss, also known as alopecia.
Looking good makes us feel good as well as confident. Make sure you give yourself a hairstyle you feel comfortable with and never give up on looking your best in any situation.
