Peculiarities
If the haircut is done competently and professionally, then It is enough for the client of the salon to comb her hair in the morning, fluff it up a little with her hands. In exceptional situations, the head should only be dried with a hairdryer after washing, taking a round comb to help. "Smart" haircuts are very helpful if you really don't have the time, desire and strength to do your hair for a long time. Enough 5-minute manipulationsto look natural and tidy.
It is important to note that such a haircut does not lose its shape, volume and attractiveness, even when the hair grows back. In addition, this is a good option for women after 40, since such haircuts are very young.

- texture, texture structure;
- ease of hanging;
- weight characteristics of the strands.
Combining all these factors together, you can look great every day without bothering with lengthy styling.

How to choose the right one?
Here it is important to pay attention to the features of the hair.
"Free fall"
If you wash your hair, comb it and dry it a little, they themselves choose a certain direction. For example, they lie to the right. If you have an arched hair, then the curls are turned inward on one side, and outward on the other. Such characteristics of the hair should not be corrected, but applied when choosing a haircut style. When a strand wants to bend outward, then a curl or wave must be made in this direction.
Direction of hair fall is a critical issue for young ladies choosing a hairstyle. However, it is often difficult for the stylist to see it at the first examination.
If a fashionista has done styling before visiting a hairdresser, then it is advisable to warn the stylist how hair behaves in everyday life.

Texture
A “smart” haircut will only turn out to be really attractive if it is carefully matched to the natural texture of the hair. Curly, thinned, porous, coarse hair does not behave the same way, although the cut is identical. Experts advise not to cut the bangs if the young lady has a straight bob and hair curls at the same time.
Here you cannot do without daily styling, you will need to straighten the waves every day.

Proportions
When the hairstyle looks voluminous and does not need to be styled, this is an ideal condition. The master can achieve volume by observing the proportions - a suitable ratio of the upper and lower range. In the salon, you can get a below average cut, but keep the correct proportions, and the overall look will look amazing. Small flaws will not be so noticeable in the overall picture. The imbalance will become apparent after the first crumpled head.
Often stylists make the mistake of trying to make the top strands as short as possible, thereby achieving more volume. But it turns out the opposite, especially if the hair is straight and loose. When removing the length at the top, the volume is taken away from the lower range.
As a result, there is no volume either there or there. Such nuances must be remembered by both clients and the master stylist.

Filing
Treating your hair with thinning scissors or a sharp razor is also key. They are not recommended for all haircuts in a row. In particular, professionals strongly advise against thinning curly and porous hair. There is a chance to get a "lion's mane", which looks, to put it mildly, unattractive.
Thinning in itself helps a lot to emphasize the natural properties of the straight texture of the hair.

Hair weight
There is hair that is light and fluffy, there is hair that is heavy and stiff. In addition, each person has his own individual shape of the skull, neck length, size of ears, temples, forehead. All this together significantly affects the overall image and the choice of a "smart" haircut.
A professional stylist knows how to disguise imperfections, take into account the weight of the hair and help with choosing a stylish look.

Save shape
There is no clear time frame for the duration of keeping the haircut shape. Sometimes it turns out to be more successful and retains its appearance for up to 1.5-2 months. However, there are cases when a slight adjustment will not hurt after 3-4 weeks. Hairstyles do not last forever, because hair constantly grows back. If a woman notices that the strands are sticking out, lie down incorrectly and the form disappears, it's time to sign up to the master.
Moreover, there are certain hairstyles, the owners of which must visit the hairdresser every two weeks. First of all, this includes a long and smoothed bangs, slightly covering the eyebrows. As she grows back, she will close her eyes. Another option is if the lady has a short haircut with a shaved nape. She grows back quickly and looks casual.

"Memory" of hair
Experienced stylists will agree that hair has a "memory". Imagine: a lady decides to get rid of long, heavy strands and get a short haircut. There is no need to hope that the strands will become obedient and fit well at the same time. Initially, they will be in the form that they remember. Within two weeks, the strands will acquire a natural look and straighten, a new light fall, airiness will appear. In some situations, their texture changes: straight hair can begin to curl.
A woman must remember that she cannot choose a haircut that she has looked after in a fashion magazine if it contradicts the texture and other properties of her strands.
All ladies are born individual and should emphasize their natural beauty, and not try to change it. A competent master can easily see the advantages of hair and make a haircut that does not require styling.
