Short Stop

Jun 022012

Wear it close-cropped, or in a texturized ear-length shag, but please-no ponytails!
“Long hair is so over,” says Brian Phillips, owner of Toronto’s World Salon. “It’s very tired looking and there is absolutely nothing modern about it.”
What is happening, Phillips says, is short hair, ranging from army buzz cuts to messy Johnny Deppe styles. Hair is “angry, rough and uncomplicated” and should appear totally unpretentious-as if you simply washed it, gave it a light ruffle and scampered out the door. These sexy, undone styles require a great cut to keep them swinging.
“We have developed a really cool cutting technique, here at World, called ‘The Toronado’,” Phillips enthuses. “It consists of dividing hair into small sections, then twisting them and heavily texturizing each section, on the ends, with shears. The result is great movement, energy and texture.”
To take texture to the extreme, Richard Hyams, director of Suki’s Academy in Vancouver, British Columbia, suggests experimenting with perming techniques.
“This season we are seeing a lot of strong textural barbering incorporating multi-textural perming techniques, Hyams says. “I recommend using freehand cutting through the internal lengths to give hair a fresh edge.” Continue reading »

How to Talk With Your Hair Stylist

May 252012

Stylists agree hands down that establishing clear communication with their clients is the most important step to a successful haircut. “The consultation is the best and most important part of the cut,” says Nick Berardi of Manhattan’s Vidal Sassoon Uptown Salon. “It’s where ideas and creativity happen, where I see the hair before it’s masked by shampoo and water

It’s also where you and your stylist develop a common language. A length that you call “short hair” might be seen by your stylist as “mid-length.” Your notion of “jet black” or “strawberry blond” colors might be considered “darkest brown” or “carroty red” by your stylist. Learning to speak each other’s language and establishing a common ground for communication is crucial.

The problem is, it’s very hard to describe to a stylist what you want, especially if you want something nonstandard like not having bangs flopping down on your face. “Please cut it short, go with the natural flow of the curls and waves, and don’t leave bangs falling in my eyes” doesn’t seem to register.

Ask what your stylist suggests. It’s always good to open a dialog by asking their professional opinion. She’ll take into consideration your face shape, complexion and body type when she suggests a style that she thinks works well with the whole package.

What causes hair loss in men?

May 212012

The most common cause of hair loss in men is Androgenetic alopecia which is also known as male pattern baldness (MPB). Men who have Androgenetic alopecia are genetically sensitive to DHT [Dihydrotestosterone]. Their hair follicles are sensitive to the male hormone DHT and over a period of time the hair follicles will stop growing any hair.

In short, hair follicles affected by the male hormone DHT somehow forget the procedure to re-grow hair. Their lifespan becomes short and they do not grow any further hair.

Ways to Straighten Hair

Purchasing the proper appliance is key. The first and most important thing in styling any hair type is to find the proper appliance for your hair type. For straightening, it is obvious that you would want to use a flat iron. As with anything, there are degrees of quality in hairstyling appliances – good, better, and best. “Good” flat irons are usually made of gold, or some other metal. They generally do not get very hot, and because the metal is such a poor conductor of heat, it is common to have “hot spots”. A “hot spot” is an area of the plate that is hotter than the rest of the plate. These generally go up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. These are the irons you get at Wal-Mart for twenty five dollars. “Better” flat irons have plates an...
