DO YOU HAVE LONG HAIR AND YOU WANT TO CUT IT SHORT?
This is big secret that many celebrities are doing before actually cutting their hair. They are previewing it first to see if they will like the haircut. As you may know there are many websites that feature programs that allow you to upload pictures and selected hairstyles that may look good on you. Well another idea is to actually do it. In order to preview the look you must first have your hair braided, (this process must be done by a professional) and then you can get weave sewn into your real hair. Make sure you take pain killers, if you’ve never braids before.

Once the weave is sewn into your braids, the weave can then be cut into the hairstyle of your choice. Make sure the stylist understands what you want. Walk around for a week, see the reactions you get and this process can help you decide if you’re ready to make the big jump. Since you hair is braided up underneath the weave you don’t have to worry about any damage to your natural hair. So in case you decide you don’t like the short hair, the stylist can easily take the weave out and you’re back to your normal self. Make sure that even if you like the short look that your hairstylist takes out the weave.

Getting weave can sometimes be a big jump for some people but it can a great way to test drive you new haircut and see how people respond. Or you can just go ahead with your gut feeling and get your haircut right away. For some making the choice from long to short hair is simple. Be sure to always show your stylist at least two pictures so that they can get a understanding or what style you are looking for.
