lollib Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 Why is it that you can never get your hair to look like the way it does when you leave the salon? GRRR! I swear, got it cut last night, fixed it this morning and barely looks like how it did last night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever I spend the money to get it blown out at the salon, it always looks to puffy and I hate it:afro: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollib Posted February 28 Author Report Share Posted February 28 My hair is short and choppy so when they do it, it looks so nice. I can never get it to look the same. Although my old hair guy would really give me puffy hair and it looked like a beehive- which is why I am going to someone new! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best friend has hair like that, and she says the same thing..when she leaves the salon, it looks gorgeous, but for some reason, it never looks the same when she does it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellinita Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 You actually should have some session with your hairstylist on making your look just like how it looks when you leave the salon. Question your stylist on the products he/she uses, the tools, such as what type of brush an/or blowdryer, and have him/her instruct you step by step on how to recreate this look.

deanna11 Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Tell them to cut it how YOU want it; if they cut and style, they always cut how it will look good only that day. Your hair will settle within a few days after a cut.Also, use the same products and see from what angles they dry and style; this makes a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyckitty69 Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 If you pay *close* (and I mean close) attention to what your hairdresser does (her exact motions w/ brushes, spray, dividing your hair in sections, etc) you will find that you actually *can* have the same hair.I used to have a bob (like Catherine zeta-jones in chicago) 2 yrs ago, and every day people would comment how I looked like I just walked out of a salon because I followed every motion my hairdresser made.Originally posted by lollib Why is it that you can never get your hair to look like the way it does when you leave the salon?

I usually get it cut or highlighted or whatever, and walk out with a wet head! I feel like an asshole, but I'd much rather blowdry it myself!

I feel like an asshole, but I'd much rather blowdry it myself! the people at the salon i go to can make my hair look perfect. hehe.. i can pretty much control it lately but they can make it perfect anyday of the week. i have gone to other places where i came out with a afro though. i remember once my ex bf dropped me off at a place i had never been to and when he came back to get me my hair was like and he said i looked pretty hahahaha. it was cute because i obviously looked like a loser.

lollib Posted March 10 Author Report Share Posted March 10 Well, I think it took a little for my hair to settle with the cut cause it is getting easier to fix and looks more like how he fixed it. This is the cut I got.... I really like it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misk Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 ...that's a cute cut.......with ones like that......they tend to look like more work then the really are....depending on your hair type.....choose a pre-blow dry product.....a smoother if curly or wavy and prob a mouse if straight or thin...........blow it out obviously flipping it up....then all u gotta do is use hairspray and finger style it too look piecey........u could use a wax also...but be careful not to use too much....hairspray....if the right kind can really work wonders.......OSIS elastic is great....very workable......another great product...i would DEFINITELY recomend for that and MANY other styles.....is new...matrix..switch trix.....it's a gel/wax combo....use on wet hair like gel...then style....or on dry hair as wax(((great for guys and short messy girls hair))....i use it all the time at work and it is fucking awesome! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right, it definitely looks like more work then it is. I am really happy with it though. It is the closest to a picture I have ever asked for.
