Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious. 1 Peter 3:3-4

Today, I am going to begin talking about how to find a hairstyle.
One key thing in finding the hairstyle that works for you is discovering the answer to some important questions. When I have a customer who is wanting a “new do” or “different look” these are a few of the questions that I ask to help us figure out what they are looking for.
How much time are you willing to spend or have to spend doing your hair?
For many people, mothers especially, schedules can be very limited in the amount of time allotted to spend on hair styling. If this is the case for you, you need to consider what I call a “blow & go” or “low maintenance” style.
What do you not want your hair to look like?
Some people think this is an odd question, thinking that I should ask what you want your hair to do. It is easier to eliminate things and narrow down our options by discovering what not to do.
How much product will you use in your hair?
This is another important question to answer when looking for your hairstyle. Some styles require a lot of product to keep their look. If you don’t have the time or the money to invest in using product it is wise to steer clear of styles that will require excessive product. It can get expensive!
What kind of lifestyle/job do you have?
Knowing the kind of environment where you spend most of your time is essential to any stylist helping her client choose a hairstyle. Some cuts are trendier, while others are more classic and business like. This will be helpful in figuring out a style that works for you.
With answers to these questions we can now move on to options for your hair.
This is where we talk about what you do like. Thus, we have another set of questions!
Do you like it long, short, or medium length?
Do you like to wear it straight or curly?
Do you prefer to have it hanging or pulled back from your face?
Other important facts about your hair
These questions are a great start to help you figure out what to tell the stylist in your life what you are looking for! There are many other factors as well…but I don’t want to put too much out for the first post. Check back soon to see what other interesting tid-bits are here!

Hmm... i would love to take advantange of that link, but it's not working ?
Okay...try it now. So sorry!
What if I want to shave my head smooth? Is there a way to know what I would look like before hand?
Unfortunately, no. Much can be hidden under the hair growing on your scalp....
is there anyway to see what youll roughly look like with a new hair cut before you get it cut?
i have REALLY REALLY frizzy hair. i want to get it layered or get a fringe but my bangs dont stay strait, so i was wondering if either of those is a good idea for my type of hair.
You write very well.
