Step

Method 1 of 3: Everyday Hairstyle

Step 1. Review your situation

If you want to choose a new everyday hairstyle, it's a good idea to take into account the details of your life. Consider the demands of your workplace, the time you have to do your hair, and the effort you are willing to put into your everyday appearance.

Regardless of the type of hairstyle you choose, adapt your choice to your personality. You need to be comfortable with your new style, so don't choose a style that doesn't suit your personal taste. If your stylist suggests a hairstyle you're not comfortable with, politely talk about your feelings and look for alternatives

Step 2. Try a new haircut

It's helpful if you already know a hairdresser you can visit, but if you need to find a new hairdresser, try asking a friend or coworker for recommendations. Save a photo of the hairstyle you like and ask your stylist about how it fits your face shape.

  • Remember the name of the type of cut you got, so that in the future you can remind your stylist or ask for something a little different. It's good to leave enough tips if you like the haircut.
  • You should also seek advice from a hair stylist to care for and style your hair. They can point you in the right direction in terms of the products to use and how often your hair needs to be shaved.

Step 3. Part your hair

In deciding where to part your hair, consider your face shape and natural parting. If you have a round face, don't use a middle parting - this will accentuate the round shape of your face. If you have a sharp jaw and high cheekbones, a cleavage that is too sideways will accentuate these traits. In general, a cleavage that deviates a few centimeters from the center of the head is appropriate for most people. Try experimenting to determine which part you like best.

You can use your fingers or a comb to part your hair. Remember that combing with your fingers will give you a more natural, wavy look, while using a fine-toothed comb will make your hairstyle look smoother and more manageable

Step 4. Comb your hair

With the exception of the spiky hair that sticks out in all directions, you should have noticed that most hairstyles have one primary direction of brushing. You can comb it forward, backward, sideways, or straight down. Try experimenting with a few different ways and determine which combing method works best for you.

Please note that most men only style and comb the top part of their hair, except for those with slightly or longer hair. The back and sides of most men's haircuts are short enough that they don't require a lot of everyday styling techniques

Step 5. Choose your hair product

Unfortunately, most of us need more than just water and a comb to style our hair. You can start with a less expensive brand while you're still testing different types of products. Once you find a product you like (eg, hair clay), then you can start looking for the right brand for you. Here are some of the types of products you can buy, as well as the types of looks you can achieve from using them:

  • Serum or cream.

    This product can help you tame stray hairs or soften dry curls without making your hair stiff and unruly.

  • Mousse.

    Use hair mousse to add volume and shine to hair with minimum hold. For best results, apply to damp hair and then allow your hair to dry.

  • Gel.

    Unlike pomade, gels contain alcohol which dries hair and results in a stiffer hold. For the strongest hold, apply the gel to wet hair.

  • Pomade, hair wax, or hair clay. Use these products for difficult-to-achieve hair shapes, such as pompadour tops or curls (for naturally straight hair). Be aware that you will need to rinse your hair repeatedly to remove this type of product from your hair, so use it in moderation. A pea-sized clump is more than enough for short, medium, or thin hair. Use pomade or hair wax for a shiny, wet look; use hair clay for a more natural, non-glossy matte feel.
  • Hair glue.

    Ever wondered how mohawk hair owners can make their hair stand up? Most likely they used some kind of hair glue, which provides the strongest hold. However, be aware of product build-up on your head and always rinse your hair thoroughly between uses.

Step 6. Use a hair product that suits your needs and strengthen it with hairspray (optional)

Depending on the product and hairstyle, you may need to apply styling product before brushing your hair. If you're worried that your hair will loosen or lose its shape in the middle of the day, spray hairspray right after you've finished styling. You can choose a product with a light or strong hold (however, remember that a strong hold comes from a higher alcohol content. This can make your hair look more brittle).

  • Make sure you spray hairspray from a distance of at least 15 centimeters from the hair. Avoid spraying too much so your hair doesn't stick together and form clumps that look tough.
  • Using hair wax is another simple way to strengthen the shape of your hair. Rub a small amount of hair wax between your fingers until it softens, then pinch it between your strands to apply it thoroughly.

Step 1. Consider your hairdressing needs and situation

What do you do your hair for? Did you attend a party? Meeting future in-laws? Or just want cool hair? Make sure that your display matches your situation.

  • Remember that formal events tend to demand more conventional hairstyles. Sounds like your cousin doesn't want you to be mohawk at her wedding.
  • Usually, it's better to choose a hairstyle that is close to your everyday hairstyle for an important event; this will help you feel more comfortable throughout the event.

Step 2. Use a quality product

If you're starting out with cheap products for your everyday hair, you might want to consider spending more on quality products for your special occasion. Cheap products are more prone to build up or cause unwanted effects, such as making your hair look too dry or too oily.

Make sure that you have used the product a few times before your special event so that you know for sure how your hair will react to the product

Step 3. Ask for input

If you're going to a formal event, such as a graduation party or wedding (as a guest or attendee), it might be a good idea to ask someone for help styling your hair for the event. A professional hair stylist, your parents, or even your traveling partner can suggest hairstyles that are right for you.

Step 4. Make sure everything looks fresh and tidy

The most important aspect that a hairstyle for a special occasion must fulfill is that it is clear that you have devoted your time to making it look perfect.

  • Your parting should be shaped with a comb to make it look sharp.
  • Use the product as needed to keep your hair in the position you want it to be.
  • Quality hair products that give a slightly shiny or wet appearance usually work for a variety of occasions.

Step 5. Make a plan to "refresh" the appearance

If the duration of the event you attend is longer than an hour or two, you may need to refresh your appearance to keep your hair looking neat. This could be as simple as keeping a small comb in your coat pocket, soaking it in the shower and then combing through your hair with the wet comb. This will likely reactivate your hair products (especially hair gel) and can help keep you looking sleek.

Step 1. Determine the shape of your face

It is generally accepted that not all hairstyles look good on everyone. It is mainly concerned with the shape and features of the face. A useful way to determine your face shape is to stand in front of a mirror and mark the outline of your face (excluding hair and ears) on the mirror using a bar of soap or a makeup pencil. You should see a clear shape.

Step 2. Choose a hairstyle that balances the shape of your face

Once you've determined your face shape, find a hairstyle that matches that shape. This may take some patience, as you may need to grow your hair longer to style it properly. Here are some suggestions for hairstyles based on face shape:

  • Oval face:

    You can choose almost any hairstyle, but bangs will make your face look rounder.

  • Square face:

    Choose a hairstyle with a "softer" border. A short, tight hairstyle will accentuate your sharp facial features. Avoid the middle.

  • Long face (oblong):

    Choose a balanced style. Hair that is short on the sides and long at the top will make your face look longer. Hairstyles that ensure that some of your hair frames your face can help balance out the length of your face.

  • Round face:

    Avoid pointy bangs and don't let your hair cover your face too much.

  • Diamond face (diamond):

    You should opt for a longer haircut. Avoid haircuts that look pointed around the ears and also avoid straight hair.

  • heart face:

    Choose a longer haircut. Hair that appears on the face, such as a beard, mustache, or goatee can help balance the lower part of your face.

  • Triangular face:

    Choose a hairstyle that adds width and volume to the top. Having curly or curly hair is a great way to add volume.

Step 3. Determine your hair type

Is your hair wavy, straight, textured, or curly? Is your hair thin, medium, or thick? Some hairstyles will look better when they match your hair's natural tendencies and this can make styling easier.

Step 4. Choose a hairstyle that suits your hair type

While some hairstyles suit all hair textures, most are more suited to a specific hair type. Study the natural tendencies of your hair and find a hairstyle that complements these tendencies.

  • If you have straight hair of any thickness, consider the Prohibition High-and-Tight hairstyle, letting it grow a little longer (as long as your hair isn't too thin), style it like a flow and comb, or get a partial trim.

    • The Prohibition High-and-Tight hairstyle features short side sections with hair that is slowly cut thinner towards the nape of the neck and sideburns. The top hair should be slightly longer, about 4 centimeters. To style it, use a gel so that the top can be combed into the appropriate position. Do not choose this hairstyle if you have curly or curly hair.
    • To grow your hair out for a looser look, let your hair grow past your shoulders. How to style it is easy, you just need to dry your hair with a towel and use a little texture cream.
    • The flow and comb hairstyle starts with a square cut, but with the sides and top of the hair longer. Use mousse on wet hair, then comb hair back. Avoid this if you have curly hair.
    • Short hair at the core is evenly trimmed short along the sides and top. You don't really need styling products with this hassle-free cut.
  • If you have curly or curly hair, consider having a pompadour crest, then let it grow long, or trim it shorter.

    • The pompadour is basically a classic haircut. The transition haircut should have a 2 to 1 ratio for the top to the sides. Basically, this means that you should leave the side hair shorter than the top, but not drastically. Style using pomade and comb the top hair into position. Avoid this hairstyle if your hair is very thin, straight, or loose.
    • To grow your hair out for a sloppy look, let your hair grow past your shoulders. How to style it is easy, you just need to dry your hair with a towel and use a little texture cream. For a bed-head look that impresses like you just woke up, ask your stylist to add texture and style it with hair gel.
    • Short hair is essentially evenly trimmed short along the sides and top. You don't really need styling products with this hassle-free cut.
  • If you have receding hairline, keep your hair short. If you're feeling wilder, you can trim your hair and grow a beard or goatee.

Step 5. Try different hairstyles

There are no strict rules for hairstyles. While the suggestions from this guide may help you, in the end you should find a hairstyle that makes you feel good and feel good about yourself. Don't be afraid to try a different hairstyle each month or next time until you find a haircut you really like.

Step 6. Determine the length of the sideburns

The average length of classic sideburns is the midpoint of the ear, but this length can be adjusted based on facial features and head shape. Regardless of the length of the sideburns you choose, they should be made according to your hairstyle. Therefore, if you have short hair, keep your sideburns short and trimmed. You can have longer and thicker sideburns with a longer, relaxed hairstyle.

Longer sideburns can actually make your face look slimmer, while sideburns that are shorter than the middle of the ear can have the opposite effect. In general, shorter sideburns are best for oval faces, while longer sideburns can make short faces appear longer

Tips

  • Avoid using too many hair products as they can build up on the head and make your hair unhealthy. Wash your hair regularly to avoid build-up.
  • Decide on a haircut that you want to keep, then cut your hair according to those expectations.
  • Consult a hair stylist if you're not at all sure about the haircut you want, he or she can give you a professional opinion.
