The questions you need to ask yourself before choosing a haircut are…
Is the hairstyle manageable?
Does the hairstyle suit my day to day lifestyle?
How long will it take me to style it every time?
Do I have the required time to style it?
For me I’ve kept a similar hairstyle for the past few years, but the reason I
keep it is because it suits my day to day lifestyle and it’s manageable. I like
to keep it short too, as when it gets a little bit longer it starts to take more
time to style.
Choosing the right haircut that’s manageable and easy to style is important
to saving time on your hairstyle.
2. Pre-Styling
When I was younger, I avoided pre-styling. I literally would dry my hair with
a towel, grab as much gel as I could and style it until it held. I’d often go for
a strong hold gel, something that would ruin your hair but hopefully give it
the hold it needed.
But then I discovered the hairdryer, and I decided to go against my ego and
start using a hairdryer to help add volume. Since then, pre-styling has made
achieving the desired hairstyle a lot easier.
There’s a lot you can do with pre-styling, but again if time isn’t on our side
we need to keep things quick. So what pre-styling tips should you follow that
keep your hairstyle on point but save you time?
Blow-dry Damp Hair, Not Wet.
For me blow-drying damp hair saves a lot of time and it doesn’t affect the
hairstyle much. If you blow-dry from wet hair, it’s obviously going to take you
more time, so towel drying your hair first before blow-drying worth trying.
