If you follow me on any social media, then you will know that my hair underwent a huge change recently! I got a ton of it chopped off! I now have healthy, shiny, shoulder-length hair that I am in love with. It was time for change! I had been contemplating cutting it for a long time, and I finally just went for it. There were a few things I took into account before I cut off my hair, and if you are planning on chopping your locks I suggest you contemplate a few of these, too! Here is what to consider before cutting your hair short.

1. If you have fine hair: If your hair is on the thinner side, a “lob” or “long bob” can make your hair thicker, which is a total plus! You will have more volume because you won’t have your length weighing it down. Also, have your stylist cut your lob into soft layers to give it more movement.
2. If you have thick hair: If you have thick hair, a lob or a shoulder-length cut like mine can be fun to style. You can make things interesting by playing up the texture and using different curling irons and your straightener to create different looks. You can also play with your part and experiment! A little advice, though, if you are getting a shorter cut and you have thick hair, have the stylist thin you out with a razor or thinning sheers just a bit so you don’t get a super poofy look.
3. Will short hair suit my face shape?: The short answer? Yes! Lobs and shoulder length cuts are very versatile. You can make it work for you with the amount of layering and movement. Someone with a very square face shape will look better with a layered lob whereas someone with a longer, more oval face shape will look great with a cut that has a fringe or side-swept bangs to complement the long length of the face.

If you are on the fence about cutting your hair, I say go for it! After all, it is just hair, it always grows back.

I love love LOVE my long locks, but I would be lying if I told you I have never thought of chopping it all off. Sometimes having long hair is such a hassle, and it is very hard to maintain it! Cutting your hair short means a fresh start and a totally new look, and the long bob hair cut is totally “in” right now, but before you go cutting off your tresses and taking the short hair plunge there are a few things you need to consider!

Styling tools switch: The tools you use to style your long hair may not work with your short hair. Big barreled curling irons usually get the boot and smaller thinner irons and straighteners will take their place. The smaller tools allow you to have better control of your shorter ‘do.

Style time: Shorter hair takes less time to style, which is a total bonus! You won’t have to wake up as early in the morning to style it and it takes less time to dry than longer hair does.

Hair heaviness: Shorter hair has less weight to it than longer hair. This means that If you have natural curls or waves, they will be tighter with short hair. I think that this is a plus because when you get out of the shower all you have to do is work a little product into your hair and you can let your hair’s natural body do its thing!

Save you money: Shorter hair= needing less shampoo and hair products!

It is drastic: Lots of girls have an emotional attachment to their hair (myself included) so the thought of chopping off your hair can be frightening. But, just remember, it WILL grow back! Buuuuuut..it will not grow back overnight. It takes minutes to cut your hair, but months to grow it all back. It is quite a commitment!

So, before you decide to board the “short hair train” give it a bit of thought!

XOXO, Chels

Who doesn’t love a trip to the salon? Getting your hair done can give you a bounce in your step! There are a few things you need to take care of before you go to the salon to make sure you get the most out of your visit! Stay tuned to hear the deets.

1. Research salons: The first thing you need to do is do your research. Check which salons have the best prices, the best service, the closest to your home, all that jazz! Some salons offer deals around the holidays, so you 
2. could even find coupons or special offers that will save you money! Read the reviews on the salons to see what other people say about them.
3. Find photos: The only person who really knows what you want is YOU! The best way to ensure that your stylist knows EXACTLY what you want is by bringing her pictures of what you want. My favorite place to look is Pinterest! Also, when you bring in a picture the stylist can give you advice on whether that hair style is a good choice for you.
4. Book your appointment: In order to make sure that you have the time that you need, book your appointment a few days ahead of time.  Also, make sure you are on time!! if you are late, the stylist cannot take their time and do your hair the best they can, and it is also mega rude to be late! It is a waste of their time and yours.

Make sure to keep these tips in mind when you are planning a trip to the salon!

XOXO, Chels
