Let’s face it: Your hair is very important. It’s a big part of your look. It requires daily shampooing and upkeep. And in a lot of ways, it defines who you are.

So it’s a bad idea to rush into a new hairstyle on impulse. Before you change your hair on a whim, take a breath. Think about what you are doing. And consider these three important steps first.

Pump the Brakes

You see a hairstyle you love, on a friend or perhaps on a celebrity in a magazine. So you immediately rush to your local salon, slap a photo on the counter and tell your stylist, “Give me THAT!”

This may be appropriate if you are 14. But it’s not something a grown woman with a family and a career can afford to do to her look. Your hair may not be the most important thing in your life, but it’s something other people see. And unfortunately, it’s something they may use to make an impression about you.

Be Unique

Another reason not to get the current popular hairstyle is that if you are drawn to it, so is everybody else. Do you remember that one year when it seemed like everybody had “The Rachel”? Or the “Farrah Fawcett”?

If you want to be a unique person, don’t look like everybody else. Choose a hairstyle the complements your features while still being distinctively yours.

Consider Keratin Hair Straightening

A better plan is to take your time, look around online or in magazines at a wide variety of hairstyles, then go with the one you truly love.
