An advantage of growing your hair long is that it gives your free rein to attempt a wide variety of hairstyles for different occasions. Long hair provides you with a bigger canvas, so to speak. You can put your hair up to achieve an elegant updo, or you could just let it fall on your shoulders and flip it to catch the attention of others, as girls in movies and sitcoms are wont to do. Short hair bobs are pretty much already styled on their own, thus leaving less room for innovation.

Updos for those with long hair need not be done by a professional stylist in an expensive salon. There are a lot of styles you can do yourself at the comfort of your own home. However, one advantage of salons is their vast collection of hair lotions, hairsprays, and other setting agents to keep your hair from blowing all over your head. They also have a collection of appliances made especially for hair, such as the flat iron for straightening, curling iron, rollers, and blow-dryers. In addition, you can be assured that they know what they’re doing, and, in the case of popular stylists, you can even get their recommendations as to what will best suit you.

But not all of us are blessed with the time and the money to spend on these salons. In addition, it can even curtail your creativity. You can always experiment on your own, test out what look is best fit for the occasion and the company you’ll be keeping. Read the rest of this entry »
