The truth is, styling hair is more than JUST styling. Being able to style your hair and get the hair you dream of without having to go to the salon is more than you do right now.

Styling is all about knowing your hair, having the right things on hand, and giving it EXACTLY the care it needs, all the time, not just when you’re styling it!

So before you do absolutely anything, if you were expecting this to be full of the best hacks and hacks on how to style your hair fast, you’d be wrong. Today we are going to tell you how to style your hair like a professional and achieve that lasting effect, so that your hair always looks like it should on the cover of Vogue.

Having straight, clean and perfectly styled hair is a lifestyle and a choice. Are you ready? Are you dedicated to your hair? Can you commit? If you’re answering yes, go ahead, because we’ve got everything you need to know.

Make sure you have everything you need!

The first step in any hairstyling business is making sure you have everything right. If you’re looking to curl your hair, some cheap plastic tongs just won’t curl your hair the way you want. Let’s get rid of those.

You need the right equipment. Does your hair get tangled easily? Get a detangling brush. If your hair becomes dry and coarse, you need some moisturizer for your locks.

You want to make sure you have the right equipment to style it right, every time. You can always go and talk to a stylist about this, or if you’re a bit more adventurous, you can try different products yourself, but this will take research, time, and money.

It doesn’t matter if you’re looking to get your hair straight, curly, dye it, give it a whole new look with some cuts and layers, or anything in between. Whatever you do, having the right equipment makes all the difference.

Imagine cutting hair with scissors in your kitchen drawer! NO! You need a suitable hairdressing scissors. While it may be cheaper to just use what you have around the house, it doesn’t always work in your favor—it’s better to get the right stuff right away.

Know your hair.

Being able to get the right things you need for your hair goes hand in hand with knowing your hair well enough to do it.

Thinking means diagnosing, knowing and understanding your hair type. Learn about the products you react well to, as well as the ones you don’t. Make sure you know how it reacts to heat, whether it’s natural, straight, wavy, or curly.

Different types of hair will be tolerant of different things and will need different care. If you are having a hard time understanding your hair, you may want to find a stylist to take a look at it and explain it to you.

Fine hair can also be styled.

For those of you with fine hair, you’re probably sighing in exasperation over this, you feel so stuck, because fine hair is so hard to style. Fine hair can be problematic, especially if it thins with age.

Cutting and layering your fine hair might be the last thing on your mind right now. You don’t want to sacrifice an inch of hair. However, if you have fine hair, cutting it is not a bad idea. You can trim just a couple of inches and it will make it look fuller.

Getting long-lasting curls is easier than you think.

If you are curling your hair when you dry it, let the hair cool down before removing the brush, too much speed causes the curls to fall out! This is just one of many mistakes we often make that gives us poor quality curls.

Getting great-looking, long-lasting curls is one of the easiest things to do, if you know how. But it is a process. Of course, once you have curls, you may be afraid of losing them. One way to avoid losing the curls you worked so hard to achieve is to sleep in a satin bonnet. Okay, not the most glamorous look, but it gets the job done.

You can even refresh curls too, just use a blow dryer on the cool setting and blow your dry hair from side to side, wiggling it with your fingers as you do, and BAM revitalizes curls!

Of course, let’s not forget the main thing here… If your hair is healthy, it will hold up to any style longer. So the main thing is to maintain healthy hair!

Let’s take a look at that concept…

Keeping hair healthy is the real trick.

Okay, so we can all think that we do the best with our hair. However, many of us cover our hair with products that can damage it. Tousling our hair with hair dryers, using straighteners and curling irons, shampoos and conditioners with high chemical content, showering or bathing with hot water such as liquid lava.

While we often don’t realize it, these things can be as bad as they make us feel good. If you wash your hair too often, this can damage it. Many people shower every day and find that their hair gets greasy quickly, but showering every day is actually the reason for this.

If you always use a blow dryer, you should invest in some heat protection spray to help prevent heat damage from affecting your hair. Natural products and high-quality brands will be better for your hair. Remember that your hair is its own ecosystem, messing with its natural chemicals and oils will make it less healthy and your hairstyles won’t hold up as well.

Know what type of hair you have.

We talked about knowing your hair. This is important. We know so many people who have fine hair that gets greasy easily, these two things may be connected. In fact, people with fine hair tend to have more hair on their heads. But with it comes more oil glands, which makes it greasy.

The trick to finding out what type of hair you have can be taking quizzes, spending time with stylists, and trying out ways to combat any hair problems you may have. Is your hair oily, is it too dry? Do you have an itchy scalp, or even all of the above?

When your hair problems are complex, you can feel stuck, but trust us when we say that there is a treatment for every problem. You just need to be dedicated enough.

The style does not need to be complex.

Whether you’re coloring your hair, curling, straightening, trying to pull off that new internet style, or looking for the sexiest high fade, style doesn’t have to be complicated.

The most important thing is to understand your hair and treat it with love and care to get the most out of it.

The bottom line is that no matter what style you want, if you take care of your hair, it will take care of you in no time.
