Hair Part 2: Cuts and Colours (Part one)
Nextly, this blog is on hairstyles yes? you pwn at hairstyles. you have like, the coolest hair on gsb that ive seen..dujo comes in 2nd compared to you. - vonny
Finally, yes, finally, Part two! As basic guide to shedding that generic cut of yours and turning your hair into a beautiful bird of paradise!
You now know how to care for your hair properly, so with your shiny bouncey hair, let's get at it with a pair of clippers and a tube of bleach, shall we?
Do's and Don'ts:
DON'T go into the hairdressers with no frame of reference or else they cut away your hair, telling you 'What's Hot' and you'll come out looking like every other side fringed, straight, shoudler lengthed hair girl in your grade. Bring in a picture, do you research and give them a basic description of what you want.
DON'T DYE YOUR HAIR BLACK! At least not perminatly, you'll regret it at some point. My hair was black (mind you, it made me look like a right tosser), and it's my biggest hair regret. It took me SO MUCH time and alot of money to get it blonde once more.
DON'T get that emo cut, with the huge side fringe that coveres the entire right side of your face, with the spikey bits and the top and back. No, just no. Don't do it.
I'm going to get all technical on you with my cuts, okay? So, don't freak out at my 'hair lingo'.
Fringes:
The Tiny fringe: Much like what I 1st had. (My actual hair)
Do: If you've got good eyebrows, have a small face, have an oval shaped face and a clear forehead.
Don't: If you have a longer face it might make you look like a pony (Neigh!) or a really round face.
Full Fringe (My actual hair)
Do: If you don't wear your fringe back, Have straight hair, like the alternate electro look. Goes best with a cut that's straight at the ends and not many layers.
Don't: If you have curly hair or don't own a straightener, Pin your hair back often or get a sweaty forehead.
The Side Fringe (Hair of the beautiful Beej)
Do: Like easy to maintain hair or have a longer forehead.
Don't: Get a massivly long silly looking one you never cut, Get one that looks like a beige cube on the side of your pretty face.
The Slightly Confused Fringe (My actual hair)
It's a side fringe, no it's a tiny fringe, but it's slightly to the front! WHAT IS IT?
Do: If you have the same qualities of the Ting Fringe.
Don't: If your hair is black.
The Whispy Front/ Sideish Fringe (Once again, the loverly Beej)
Do: Same as tiny or side fringe
Don't: If you have curly hair or don't own a straightener.
Lengths:
Short hair
When you get it cut short, they should chop upwards ( feathering) or use a razor (texturising) this adds body and edge, instead of having that bob cut look. The ends should be un-even then you hold it with your index and middle finger. There should be more than two layers to your hair. The ends should be thinner than the rest or your hair. If it doesn't have this, ask for your money back.
Medium Hair
They should cut with crocodile scissors (The spikey brush looking type) in a downwards fashion. They should add a small amount of texture and you should have no more than 3 layers. Make sure they don't leave it flat at the top. If it doesn't have this, ask for your money back.
Long hair
They should cut with regualr or crocodile scissors. The ends should be either un even or straight, depending on what you want. They should cut off ALL the dead or split ends, it should be thinner and thinned out more towards the bottom. If not, ask for you money back.
That's all for now folks!
I'll have part two on Cuts and Colours up within a few days.
More on colour, you've pretty much got cuts down, I asume.
Leave me comments and Pm for further hair advice.
Cheers!
Btw, I fxcking love my hair. <.<

This is a great blog!
I cut my own hair and I have so many layers in it. xD
But I watched my friend getting her hair done so that's how I found out how to do layers (:

Slappy bleached her hairs and they're short..
She thinks they look sexy, cause they do the flippy thing on the sides. Especially when she wears her hats..

The Brightside, don't do it perminant. But, I'm glad you're not going from blonde to black or anything drastic. Because your hair is already dark brown, it should be good.
Isabel.Vegemite, if you go to a specialised hair shop (Hair House Warehouse, Price Attack, so on) you can buy a big bottle of perxocide. Mix it with hair bleach and leave it in for about 45 minutes, that should lighten it alot. If you can, get a toner to even out the orangey parts.
Love, yeah, don't EVER cut your hair yourself with the kitchen scissors. x] I;m not saying that without some sort of idea it would look bad, it just might be a bit bland.
Mike Dirnt, yeah. If you got at layer that short of flicked inwards under your jaw, it would make you cheeks really stand out. :D

My hair is thick, dark brown and mildly curly [Straight at the top, curls at the bottom/halfway point].
My hair goes down to about the middle of my back and I would like it thinned.
I have round-ish cheeks but otherwise a quite narrow face.
Do you think my hair would look good thinned and cut down to on my shoulders? D:

you should never cut your hair yourself. it sounds as if you are saying that in the hair length bit. you should go to a hairdresser you trust and there they also know what scissors to use etc.
every kind of hair style requires different ways of cutting them. you can never be in total control of your hair if you go to a hairdresser. i dont think anyone goes to a hairdresser asking "oh hey what scissors do you use" XD that would be weird XD
but ya interesting blog with some good tips even though I don't agree with all of them
btw I go to the hair dresser with no picture or reference or anything and my hair is always perfect. hair dressers should be trained to know what looks good on people and how to do it and stuff. :D

wow, i love this blog! personally, i hate my hair, its pretty thick, and the last time i got it cut was in april... since then, it has only grown 3 inches..... im very angry at my hairdresser because of htis, she cut it short, well, kurt cobain short (i use kurt cobain as a metaphor). ( i wrote a blog about it long ago)
its just taken so long to grow back and its annoying me so damn much!!
I was thinking of getting a fringe, but because i have somewhat wide/high cheekbone, a fringe would looj weird... so i didnt get one.
And about the black, i couldnt concur more with you. I died my hair black permanantly a couple times, and i gotta say, never again. Im glad the black is gone though. I just want lighter hair because you can do so much to it. You can dye it much different colous, and you arent confined to just one.
Recently i have tried to bleach my hair lighter, just one part of it, it took a few hours for it to go a little lighter. Is there such a thing as a stronger bleach that i could use? cause i wouldnt ind getting my hands on some.
Altogether, great blog!

Because it's holidays Mum's finally agreed to let me dye my hair... but I'm dying it black. :omgno:
I've already got naturally dark brown hair (it's from about halfway down it gets lighter cause of the sun bleaching it I guess) but should I still do it non-permanently?

If you would like my hair advice, then so be it.
SEND AWAAYY!

My fringe is.. Not like any of those, but I'm in love with it. ^_^
Would you like photographs of my hair, and you can tell me how I should get it cut?? Because, about a year ago, i cut it ALL off until it was SO short, as in page boy short, and now it's grown back and hasn't been cut since.
So it's kinda dodgy.
xD
GREAT BLOG!
I've been waiting for htis for yages, checking every half hour or so, and It was so worth the wait. ^_^
