Changing your hair and the effect on self-esteem –

Practical hair change guide

Influencers and divas can indeed be a source of inspiration and the new season is a good time to allow yourself a change. But remember that, more than the appearance itself, perhaps it is their attitude, of confidence, that enchants. Before the impulse, ask yourself where this desire to change comes from. no more, if you play!

Changing your cut may still seem aggressive to you, but using a new accessory, scarves, braids and buns, will already renew your own look and the reflection in the mirror. If you still want a more “permanent” change but you don’t have the courage to change the length, the fringe is a more radical change but it allows you to keep your long hair — and from taking care of it, you can play and understand if it really will adapt to the short.

Ideally, the first cut should be done by a professional, but for touch-ups on the bangs, hairstylist Milly Olmos, from Espacio Secreto, in São Paulo, teaches you how to cut at home:

Would you change the color?

The tone is not a restriction (forget the “rules” that a certain color does not work on your skin tone), but assess whether frequent touch-ups will be necessary, as this requires patience and financial cost. You may find, for example, the platinum tone beautiful, but getting there requires hours of discoloration process and perhaps even then the hair does not resist the procedure and reach the desired blonde. On the other hand, a change with lighter shades that start a few centimeters from the root (the smokey root blonde) will damage the hair less and require fewer visits to the salon for touch-ups.

Already, the white wires do not only have a different color, but also the entire internal structure, which has more keratin than the other wires. It is necessary to take care of them with affection because, even dyeing, the need for intense hydration will be necessary. Perhaps it is also time to take on the whites and here we tell you how.
