In a relentless quest to make a fashion statement, have hairdresser’s over looked what I call “Mother Nature’s Hairstyles”?
Much is known about the art of hairdressing. For centuries hair has been used to denote social status, as a symbol of authority, and often as a fashion accessory. As a result hair has been cut, colored, curled, crimped, braided, straightened, twisted and arranged in every shape imaginable! All in a relentless quest to make a fashion statement and entice people to visit a salon. But have hairdresser’s over looked what I call “Mother Nature’s Hairstyles?”
When you step back and take a closer look, you’ll find that many of the classic hairstyles are the result of what each hair type does naturally. The shoulder length flips, close and full page-boy bobs, long face framing straight, curly or wavy shapes, and bouffant styles are all perfect examples of “Mother Nature’s Hairstyles.”
With few exceptions, were all born with a type of hair (straight, curly, wavy or combinations) that suits us perfectly – as Mother Nature intended. Our hair type doesn’t happen by accident, its’ part of each person’s unique DNA makeup designed to complement our head size, face shape and unique facial features. Just as each of us is born with a “finger print,” we’re also born with what I call a “hair print;” our unique growth pattern, along with our hair type forms the perfect foundation for our natural hairstyle.
This doesn’t mean that you can’t, or shouldn’t change what someone’s hair does naturally – say from curly to straight. Or change their natural hair color… Even Mother Nature can sometimes use a helping hand, that’s why there are hair stylists. But before you reach for a trendy “off the rack” “one size fits all” hairstyle, take a closer look and ask yourself “What can the hair do on its own?” Look at the natural characteristics (texture) of the hair and its direction of growth, then design the style using those observations to your advantage. Often all it takes are a few well-placed snips to unlock the natural potential for a style that holds its shape as it grows, looks balanced from all points of view, and almost styles itself. Then all it takes are a few adjustments (trims) as it grows to find the ideal length (short or long) and shape (close or full) that suits each person perfectly.
To discover “Mother Nature’s Hair Styles”… look for what the hair does naturally first, then design the style accordingly. You’ll be thrilled with the results! Mother Nature’s Hairstyles
