Hair | A lifestyle
Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009
Being the best you doesn’t necessarily come easily, as the best you isn’t exactly the one that rolls off the bed every morning.
We’re grown; Things no longer fall into place as they used to. Looking your best you is your little secret, one that takes some time and effort to figure out what works (and what doesn’t) and then to stick to a maintenance routine. Part of this journey requires figuring out your signature hairstyle, that combination of cut, colour and texture that works best for you.
No-one’s saying that you need to be stuck in a hair rut, but like Halle’s pixie, some styles effortlessly work for an individual, and can easily become their best accessory.
Set up a consultation with a stylist to find the cut/colour combination that works. Explore different variations, lengths/ textures/ colours, of the same style from time to time, to look timelessly chic. Cropped or long, blunt or layered, sheared or razored, straight or curly, braided or locked, processed or natural, the great thing about fashion these days is that everything is in.
Consider your lifestyle
If you are not interested in spending both your week’s earnings and your weekends at the salon, do find a style that works with your natural hair texture and your lifestyle.
For example, if you are not interested in blowing out and flat-ironing your hair every morning, do not carry a headshot of your fav celeb who is sporting pin straight hair, when your hair is chock full of luscious curls. It will be you against the curl every time you roll off that bed in the morning.
You’d be miserable and no fun to anyone. Humidity will not be your friend. Not being able to go to the gym because your hairstyle wouldn’t allow it, or not being able to wash your hair at least once a week is no longer acceptable grown behaviour.
Cuts that require intensive styling only look well when intensely styled. Rocking a chic do’ that works with your lifestyle and morning routine will always outshine hair in a fab cut that is pulled back in a ponytail everyday because your kids demand all your time on morning.
Find a ‘do that you can incorporate into your lifestyle.
