Talk to her about how often you wash your hair or how long it takes to get oily. Understanding your scalp condition will help her to know which types of products to recommend and ingredients to looks for in your hair care.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>The Time You\u2019re Willing to Dedicate to Your Styling Routine<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your stylist needs to know how high maintenance you\u2019re willing to go with your cut or color so it\u2019s important to really think about the time you want to spend on your hair every day. Be realistic about how much time you have to allocate to styling each day or how often you\u2019re willing to go to the salon for color touchups or cuts. If you\u2019re low maintenance with your hair but are really into a certain look, your stylist can work with you to give you the version that works best within your parameters. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Your Workout Routine\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Specifics on your favorite workout classes and the frequency at which you go are also important for her to know. If you\u2019re someone who works out and shampoos daily, you may opt for a low maintenance cut (see above) or opt out of the fire red hair color that could wash out from frequent washing. She may recommend products with ingredients that protect from dryness due to over-washing, something to protect hair from chlorine if you are a swimmer or from UV-rays if you are work out outside. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>All Past Chemical Treatments<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be upfront with your stylist and let him know what you\u2019ve previously had done in your hair within the last 2 years. Chemicals from certain treatments remain in your hair even after you stop doing them and are only completely gone once hair is trimmed off. If your stylist isn\u2019t aware of your history, your hair can become damaged by a new treatment or color. It\u2019s good to take note of how your hair has reacted to chemicals and\/or coloring in the past so he can customize your new treatment accordingly. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Your Pain Points Between Sessions<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Describe your hair\u2019s characteristics. Do you have cowlicks, do you have trouble styling your hair when you let it air dry? Mention if your last cut was difficult for you to manage and why \u2014 even if your current stylist was the one who gave it to you. Often times, if you\u2019re finding your hair is difficult to style, it may actually be your haircut and not the hair itself. Finally, let your stylist know your hair goals and maybe some of the challenges you face in achieving them. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting the right cut and color requires an open conversation with your stylist. Then, it\u2019s all about your hair care.
