Haircuts that take off 10 Years

Say: “I’d like a 15-minute consultation before we begin cutting.” That’s fine with Patrick Melville, owner of New York City’s Patrick Melville Salon, who encourages clients to come in before the appointment and ask lots of questions.
Say: “Before you cut, show me what it will look like.” Don’t just ask for a trim. Discuss how much should be cut, and from where.
Say: “I want a cut that’s right for me, even if it’s not trendy.” Avoid the ‘dos of the day — and the stylists who give them.
Say: “I’d like a choppy, nape-length bob with long layers framing my face.” In other words, don’t just say you want a “bob” — there’s too much room for interpretation. Learn enough lingo to make yourself clear.

Pomade adds control and tames the frizzies. If your hair is long, use on the roots only.

Try L’Oréal Studio Line FX Toss Lotion or Aveda Pure-Fume Brilliant Humectant Pomade.

Wax gives intense control, which is especially important for short to medium-length styles.

Try: Redken Water Wax or White Rain Select Effects Defining Wax.

Shine enhancers often contain silicone, which helps all hair types look smoother and shinier.

Try: Phytodefrisant or Aussie Smoothy Gloss.

Flexible hair sprays set a style while allowing you to brush and restyle throughout the day.

Try: Suave Herbal Care Flexible Hold Hairspray or Pantene Pro-V Stay Smooth Settique Spray.
