I Want What I Haven’t Got

My Hair Isn’t What I Want…

Tell me about it! Almost all of us want something we haven’t got. That’s life huh?

The amount of times I hear:

• “I wish I had thick hair”
• “I wish I had long hair”
• “I wish my hair was blonde”

And the list goes on!

Guys, I get it. We all want what we haven’t got and it’s like that with everything, not just hair. However, with hair we can try to change it so it’s a different colour, or thinner etc.

But let’s just remember that it isn’t always as easy as we think. A lot of people want curly hair as they originally have straight hair. Great so let’s perm it? Just remember that your hair won’t look exactly like Shakira with her beautiful curls. You may end up looking more like Merida from Disney’s Brave!

Be careful guys. As hairdressers, we can do as you ask within reason! Sometimes it just doesn’t work and you need to be mindful of that. Be realistic. Sometimes realise that as lovely as it would be, it just may not be the best decision for you, your hair and image.

Food for thought when you next say you want something you haven’t got.

Maybe you can but maybe doing it isn’t necessarily the right thing to do!
