Hair terminology. Anyone want to discuss the following questions or points?
-I can’t really get with the lingo because I cannot distinguish subtleties of online pictures or friends hair. -I think hair stylists are annoyed when you don’t know what you want, but I promise it’s true I don’t know what I want -I recognize the limits of my kind of dark hair. So last time when I asked about my balayage, we talked about tones and it got confusing because I just don’t know. I don’t think I want to lighten to an ash tone but neither to a red tone. I like warm but not red. I think we agreed that warm and red are the same idea. It looks good .... I just don’t have an eye for it! I know what I like and don’t like but I don’t know how you get there. It’s like gardening, sewing or stick shift. It has been explained to me many times but does not stick. Anyone commiserate with me? |
When I go to a new stylist, I take pictures if I want something specific, and they can tell me if there’s a healthy way to achieve something similar without damaging my hair. I’ll also ask if they have suggestions. It works out. |
Op here. And I have an amazing hair stylist. Super talented,
Comparatively the best I’ve ever found. So it’s not about him; it’s all about the fact that I continue to not know anything. All I want is gorgeous hair |
You just need to take pictures. Lots of pictures. |
OP, look on Pinterest or Google images. Save photos of the styles or models you like. Try to find a celebrity with the haircut you want. Don't use terms if you don't know what they actually mean, like shag or pixie or taper, that would have a specific definition to a stylist but may mean something entirely different in your mind.

If you want to play with color, ask for some recommendations. If you want warm tones, google warm tones balayage google images. |
