Preparing for a hair makeover can be both exciting and nerve-wracking. Before my own big chop last year, I spent weeks gathering inspiration and making sure the style aligned with my lifestyle. I tried different styles virtually to avoid the post-cut shock. Maybe try a hairstyle app where you can visualize the cut on a photo of yourself. Also, jot down a list of questions and concerns to discuss with your stylist; any reputable hairdresser will appreciate your thoroughness and can offer guidance. Sharing your daily routine with your stylist can help determine what styles suit you best. For a comprehensive overview, you might want to look at this link. Anyway, do some soul-searching to ensure you're ready for the transformation and set aside a hair care budget for any products recommended to maintain your new look. Remember, makeovers are about refreshing and having fun with your appearance!
