Q: I need help figuring out how to wear my hair differently for different situations. I’m bored, but I don’t want to be inappropriate. Help! ~Worried in Wisconsin
A: This is a complicated question, but something that I think most of us deal with. The answer will vary depending on what type of hair you have, and in what kinds of situations you find yourself. Here are a few examples to help you out. (If any of you have specific occasions coming up and need a more specific answer, email bethany@bethanylaska.com.)
Situation: Work (Office)
Hair Type: Long and “young”
Problem: How to look professional and have people take you seriously when you’re so trendy, young, and beautiful.
Before:
While this girl obviously LOVES her job, people are going to notice her over-voluminous sexy waves before they notice her impressive sales pitch.
After:
While she still has her youthful charm - simply pulling hair back into a simple, low, chignon will help keep everyone focused on her intellectual assets.
Situation: My Best Friend’s Wedding
Hair Type: Short and Sweet
Problem: Everyone else is wearing their their hair up and curly! What to do?
Before:
While this well-defined cut usually stands on its own - to feel dressed up, a little “zing” would be nice.
After:
Adding a soft fingerwave makes this crop classy and very black-tie worthy. In my opinion, red lipstick is almost an essential accessory to this type of hairstyle, but for summer weddings, a red-tinted lipgloss will do the trick without upstaging the bride.
Please send me your feedback and your suggestions! I’d love to hear from you! bethany@bethanylaska.com
Happy August, guys!
