Special events, such as holidays, familial celebrations, graduation, and other gatherings, happen throughout the year. In the weeks leading up to the event, you may have some preparations to take care of. Add getting a professional haircut to your to-do list. Doing so has a number of benefits.
1. Fresh Style
Getting a professional haircut before the event ensures that you’ll look dapper on the day. Instead of dealing with split ends or tangled strands as you’re trying to get ready for the event, you can start your styling with a clean palette.
2. Hair Trial
You may want to get your hair professionally done on the day of the event. Consider booking both a haircut and a hair trial for several days prior to the special gathering. Hair trails are not just for women; many men like to ensure their hair will be done to their liking on the event day.
3. Getting Settled
Keep in mind that you shouldn’t schedule the haircut for the day of the event. Allow at least a couple to a few days for the haircut to settle in. This approach also means that you’ll have time to ask your stylist for any adjustments if necessary.
4. Updated Color
It’s also important to give dye jobs a little bit of time to settle. Getting your dye job refreshed several days to a week before the event will ensure that your roots don’t start to grow too badly. Keep in mind, however, that you shouldn’t opt for a radical shift in color before a major event. Also, if the event is work-related, be careful about what color you choose. Depending on your field, it may very well be better to save the neon shades for another time.
5. Better Impression
Looking polished at a special event can also give a better impression to the guests. This benefit is particularly important if you’re the guest of honor or if you’re receiving some sort of award. You also might be attending a networking event that could lead to a job.
6. Relaxation
The days and weeks leading up to a special event can be stressful, especially if you’re hosting or playing a major role in the celebration. Booking an appointment can be a relaxing treat. You can take a break from the stress and be pampered.
7. Feeling Comfortable
If you’re going to an outdoor wedding in the middle of the summer, having lengthy locks dangling down your back and resting on your shoulders can feel uncomfortable. Opting for a more seasonally appropriate style can increase both your comfort and confidence.
8. Haircare Strategies
You can also talk with a stylist about how to address issues you’ve been having with your hair. For example, you may have concerns about dandruff or an oily scalp. Your stylist can give you tips to help prevent these issues from bringing you down on the day of the event.
You might not initially have thought of a haircut as an important to-do list item when an event is on the horizon. Considering these many benefits, however, can encourage you to change your mind and to schedule an appointment for a trim.
