When it comes to getting the hairstyle you want, sometimes a photo shows so much more than words. Explaining your desired look to your hairstylist can be so tough – you know exactly what you want in your mind, but expressing that style in an understandable and adaptable way is a real challenge. Nothing is more difficult for a hairstylist than when you sit down in their chair and say, “I want to look like Cameron Diaz” or “I want the same color as Jennifer Anniston.” Being clear with your stylist means showing him or her pictures – and maybe even more than one. Believe it or not, a picture can go a long way for getting the style you’ll love that also looks great on you and that works for more than just a cut, but color, too. Take a look at these pictures of hairstyles you’ll want to bring to your hairdresser to take the guess work out.
