Knowing what not to do to your hairstyle is
just as important as what you do to create the hair of your dreams.
Like everything in life, there are dos and don'ts.
Listed below are the top 10 ten actions you
don't want to take when it comes to styling your hair.
1. Don't go to the salon unprepared to
request the hairstyle you wish to wear.
Many hair consumers mistakenly believe that
their hairdresser can work miracles, can read their mind and can
instantly pick out the best hairstyle for them.
There are many variables to consider when it
comes to selecting a hairstyle and it is up to the hair consumer to
do their homework and research their own hair options. Face
shape, lifestyle and budget all play into the final style selected.
2. Don't select a hairstyle or haircut
that is impossible to maintain at home on your own.
While many Hollywood celebrities have a expert
hairdresser at their fingertips to make sure their tresses look
paparazzi perfect, most consumers have to deal with their hair
without those constant hairdressing services.
3. Don't skimp on proper hair care or
hair styling products
Some hair care lines sold in drugstores may
work for some types of hair and some styles. However, if you
have highlighted or chemically processed hair or require added
volume or control, the less expensive non-salon lines might not do
the trick and could make styling your hair a constant challenge.
Consider your options. You may be able to
compromise by buying both mass market and high quality products and
alternate between them for best results. Or maybe your
hairstyle requires high quality hair care lines. Be honest and
don't work hard to achieve a great style only to undermine it with
products that don't support it.

4. Don't use the wrong hairstyling
tools
There are many different tools available to
create fabulous styles. These tools range from blow dryers and
curling irons to hot rollers and round brushes. Make sure you
use the proper tools when re-creating your style.
If you're unsure what tools to use, ask your
hairdresser to give you a lesson at the salon. It may be
impossible to copy the style your professional hair consultant
designed for you if you don't deploy the same styling techniques,
products and tools.
5. Don't overuse hairstyling products
Less is more when it comes to utilizing styling
products. If you overdo the gels, mousse and hair sprays you
risk developing product build-up on your tresses which can make your
hair misbehave.
6. Don't copy celebrity hairstyles
without caution
Keep in mind that Demi Moore and Jessica
Simpson can wear just about any hairstyle their heart desires
because they have professional hairdressers custom designing those
styles to maximize their best features and minimizing their less
attractive.
What looks fabulous on Demi and Jessica may not
look the same on you unless you truly look exactly like them, have
the same type of hair and wear the exact shade of hair color and
cosmetics. Set fair expectations and you won't be
disappointed.
7. Don't ignore high end cosmetology
schools as hairstyling options
Some of the higher end schools such as Toni &
Guy and Paul Mitchell employ talented and seasoned professionals as
instructors. The schools have very high standards for the
quality of hairdresser they turn out. As a result, a high end
cosmo school is a great place for getting some hairstyling work
performed, even if it is just a slight shaping and trim to maintain
your high priced style from a different salon.
In fact, a great option is to have your
hairstyle created at a top notch salon but have maintenance
performed at the cosmo schools to average out your hair style
maintenance costs.
8. Don't be a slave to hair trends
Hairstyles change constantly as fashion change.
Instead of being a slave to hair trends, find a hairstyle that works
best for you and maintain that base look. If you want to
update your tresses to keep them looking fresh, opt for a change in
hair color, highlights, lowlights or slight texture. If you
look great in a bob, keep that as your basic style but work with
your hairdresser to keep it looking contemporary.
9. Don't ignore hair accessories as a
fabulous hairstyling option
Some hair consumers mistakenly believe that
hair accessories are only applicable for young people or certain
types of hair. This is not correct. Any hair accessory
can be adopted for any age, hair type, texture, fashion or style.
Use these fabulous fashion accessories to instantly change your look
without a trip to the salon.
10. Don't count out hair extensions as
a way to achieve different hairstyles
Whether you want a temporary hairstyle change
that a clip-in hair extension can offer or a more permanent change
for 3-4 months, hair extensions have come a long way towards
affordability and high quality.
The Jessica Simpson clip-in hair extensions are
a great first step towards experimenting with new hairstyles in the
privacy of your home in just a few minutes.
If you enjoy the clip-in extensions then be
bold and try a partial head of fusion style hair extensions for more
lasting hairstyle options.
Summary
There can be just as many don'ts as there are
dos when working with your own personal hairstyle. While it is
important to follow the dos, it is also necessary to keep the don'ts
in mind to achieve the hairstyle of your dreams.
