HEALTH & BEAUTY Off you by Chris Moody of Moody Hair, Darfield, Barnsley
The forthcoming summer holidays and (hopefully) hot weather often gets people thinking about making their hair style simpler and effortless by going shorter.
But how do we know what will work, what will look good and how we’ll feel after the deed is done?
The big problem is your stylist’s scissors have no reverse gear; it’s a one way journey. Sound scary? Fear not, here’s our guide to (relatively) risk-free short haircuts.
As we often say, the first point of call is booking a consultation with your hairdresser; most hairdressers will do this for free if you book ahead. Start to collect pictures, magazine cut-outs or photographs of the kind of things you like. Some hairdressers will say they don’t like pictures and won’t entertain them. However, most believe that pictures are a great way for the both of you to communicate what’s required and what’s possible. Listen to what the hairdresser has to say. Pictures are great to convey a message but there is always the question of ‘suitability’. Does that style suit your face, your head shape, even your lifestyle? Will you
have the time, ability and inclination to blow-dry and maintain that style if it’s needed, or do you have a more ‘wash ’n’ go’ requirement?
Cutting hair is like cutting fabric. As a haircutter we can always re-create the pattern, but if the fabric is totally different then the garment will never look the same. Is the fabric of your hair the same or different to the fabric in the picture?
Use the pictures to start the conversation and be guided by your stylist’s suggestions.
One you have decided, consider these next few points: • Leaving some length around the face can still feel like you have plenty of hair, even if you’ve gone shorter at the back.
• Hair with a shorter perimeter or outline can still feel longer if the internal shape or layers are left longer e.g. a short one-length shape will never feel really short.
• Hair cut around your ears will always feel very short, whereas leaving just a fraction on top of the ears can feel much softer and gentler.
• If you’re worried about going short in the back, try to leave a soft ‘fringe’ of hair coming into the neck and brushing the collar.
• Longer, sweeping fringes can compensate for short sides and tops and give you something to play with.
• If you want the option to go longer again quickly, leave long layers on the internal shape. Short layers always take a long time to grow out and look thin as the outline grows.
• Once you’ve decided, be brave. Compromising and going half way can leaving you feeling you’ve achieved nothing; too short for your old style and too long for your new one.
• Finally, try to remember, it’s only hair and always comes back quicker than you think. Play, have fun, experiment and enjoy your new look.
