10 Tips to Help You Find Your Ideal Style

1) Determine the best features of your hair. Is it wavy or curly? Usually curly hair looks best when the layers aren’t too short, this prevents the shape from getting to round. Your stylist can create separation and space within the top layers by using the scissors vertically on bulkier pieces.” This creates some of the nicest shapes on curly hair, I have received many compliments from my curly haired clients when I use this technique” says Liz Pruess owner and stylist.

2) Is it fine and straight?   "This is the type of hair you can do anything with” says Laura Prescott, Lead Stylist, “With a versatile haircut you can turn a professional look into a sexy evening look with a little product and style change”

3) How much time will I spend on my hair? The great news is with the right haircut and appropriate products for your hair will make styling a breeze. Curly or wavy textures greatly benefit from Bumble and bumble's Curl Conscious line. You won’t believe how beautiful your curls are and how soft you hair is.

4) With fine and straight hair you can use a blow dryer and round brush, taking your hair down in sections for a fuller and smoother style. Start with Bumble and bumble's Styling Lotion.  This will provide light hold and thermal protection, making it a must have product for fine hair types. After the hair is dry Bumble and bumble's Does It All Hairspray can be sprayed at the roots, giving a bit of a rock and roll look.

5) There will be times when you may want to spend more time styling your hair. When straightening curly or wavy hair it is imperative to have the right anti-humectants to make these styles last. Bumble and bumble's Straight with a drop of De-frizz will produce a smooth straight look. Of course, you can always visit us for those events when you want to look your best. 

6) Take a look at your face shape. If your face is long, have your stylist create width by adding a angle starting at chin or lip length  (in Bridget Bardot's day they called these man catchers!)

7) If your face shape is wide consult with your stylist about the best length for you. The difference between the length being at the chin compared to just under the chin can make a huge difference on how great you’ll look.

8)Hair color is a nice way to highlight your eyes and skin tone. It makes a great haircut look extraordinary ”We love hair color at Chicago Hair, it can easily take 10 years off a clients look" says David Pruess, owner and stylist. Ask your stylist what hair color tones would look best on you.

9) Even with a great cut and color its important to use the right lightweight products to support your style. “Cheating on products is like hiding a great, toned body under a baggy sweatshirt” says Liz Pruess.
