How to Get a New Hair Cut

A haircut can change each time by using a different stylist or aiming for a different style.

Only bone marrow grows faster than hair, according to dermatologist Dr. Jerry Shapiro. Unless you want hair that trails behind you like a wedding gown, you have to get a hair cut on a regular schedule. The style of cut is up to you. Options include a layered cut, in which hair is cut at different lengths in layers; a crew cut; bouffant; or a messy chic style in which your hair is purposefully disheveled.

Instructions

1. Observe other people's hair cuts and styles that are different from the one you have. Make clippings of images in newspapers or magazines of hair styles you like and wish to try.

2. Make an appointment with a hair stylist to get a new haircut. Ask a friend to cut your hair if your confident in his ability.

3. Talk to the stylist about the kind of hair cut you want. Show her an image of a haircut you cutout. Discuss what could work for you, and then let the hair stylist give you your new cut.

Tips & Warnings

• Treating, dying, and putting a lot of chemicals in your hair can change it, but over time it can also damage your hair. Ask for hair cuts that work with the kind of hair you have, whether that's thin, straight, curly, wavy or thick.
