How do u guys prestyle ur hair? I prestyle using a finger of dc on damp hair than blowdry for about 2 mins using hot than cold hair. Is sea salt spray "needed" to help hold whole day or dc good enough for prestyling?
This thread needs a sticky for "How to get a haircut."
Yea. Machiam oven baking. Set at 200° for 20minsu need much longer blowdry timing than 2mins.
Depends. It maybe in your case, you got an apprentice hairdresser. I had a horrible experience at a high-end saloon, when I visited 3 years ago due to my usual place being closed for vacation. They assigned me an apprentice who proceeded to butcher my hair - my sides were left longer than my top!anyway, I think hairdressers at void deck won't lose to stylists at expensive salons. paid 5x more + spent 50 mins longer but the outcome is disappointing
Elevate is a nice product but I don't advise it for anyone whose hair can't be tucked behind their ears. It's more of a conditioning creme for longer haired dudes who just want a bit of hold to manage flyaways.how about the elevate? anyone?

I'm gonna go on a mini-rant to answer once and for all what I feel is the best way to approach hairdressers at a saloon, so I hope someone stickies this.
It's best to be a demanding and an educated customer, and actually quiz the hairdresser before, during and after the cut.
- Bring pictures,
- Ask how well the hairdresser can replicate it,
- And ask them to explain what are the limitations given your head shape and hair type.
I also find it very very very useful to explain how your hair fits your lifestyle e.g. you want fuss-free hair for an active lifestyle, or you are more willing to spend time to condition and blow dry.
Also what kind of look you generally want to sport, like swept-back and clean-cut, or a shaggy casual textured style etc.
Furthermore, I also always explain the desired length and end result - I like to grow my hair out and wear it longer these days so I always make sure they try their best to explain how to manage my hair as the length get longer and longer.
At the end of the haircut, also take note of their blowdrying technique and quiz your hairdresser on how to blowdry and style for optimal results. Ask them to walk you through the whole process.
What I find lacking in your neighborhood saloons is that this level of customer education and service is usually somewhat lacking. Whereas the same few hairdressers I have been using for the past 8 years, paying around $30 per haircut, consistently give me good results because I asked for their knowledge to be imparted. After all they are professionals and do this for a living - they should know their craft.
Oh Wow. I will definitely boycott if that was the case.Um.. it was the salon director
Thanks a lot for your tips, it's too bad I went before I saw this.

Yup, very likely that many brands use the same lab/s to concoct their products.

Is the video below correct - that Chrome has a bit more hold and is stiffer in the hair compared to TSB?
I'm guess Chrome will also be too heavy for voluminous, free flowing hair that goes past the ears? I'm gonna give TSB a run in my long hair today later on, been just using cheap mousse for the past weeks as I wanted to try a more free flowing style.
Brylcream lorThanks guys.
I think I'll skip on Chrome and try to get American friends to help ship V76 products for longer hair over - maybe the medium hold lotion or creme.
My hair is now too long for your usual clays or waxes, only thing that works ok is the treatment styling balm. I kinda like not blow drying all the way, maybe to only 75% dryness for a slightly wet look now with hair that I can tuck behind my ears now.
So basically all my sea salt sprays and clays are now useless.
