Search for a ProfessionalThere is a certain stage in every woman's life when she decides she wants to improve or change her look. For some it is a very young age in life, for others it comes much later. However, almost all women go through that phase where they want to change the way they appear to society. They are often influenced by what they see in the media. They choose their favorite celebrities and follow them through their fashion and looks. Nowadays, everything is influenced by music, television and the characters everyone pretends to be. Which is great for the hair and makeup industry because people are constantly changing their minds about how they want to look and present themselves to the rest of the world. As times change and trends change, some hair, makeup and fashion styles also change. Some only last for a short time and others never fade. It is very important to understand what is “In” and what is not. Especially if you work in the world of cosmetology and fashion. One way to keep yourself updated with the latest news is, like many customers, to follow many of those hip and trendy celebrities through their social media like Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. Gossip and fashion magazines are also a great help, as are celebrity reality shows and other popular programs on television or even talk shows and definitely award shows. The music industry is also a great way to stay on top of current trends. For example, music videos are basically historical fashion videos of the period in which they were produced and directed. You can look back at videos from a few decades and see what was trending during that time. Often that leaf... in the middle of the paper... damaged the hair and repaired it (if possible) and then colored it appropriately. All of this might not take a day and you would still end up having to go through multiple visits and trials. Take it from someone who has been there before, I have experimented with my hair and damaged it a lot thinking I knew what I was doing when in reality I didn't. It was horrible, I already ended up with dry, damaged, brittle orange hair and it wasn't nice at all! The devastation of damaging your hair because you think you know what you're doing or you think you'll save money by doing it yourself is ultimately not worth it at all. It is always best to seek professional help when going through the transition phase. The additional cost is worth it, not only will you save your hair, but you will also be much happier the first time.
