 I want to be a freelance model! (Hair) contd.

   The next part of your body that should get the most attention after your skin is your hair. Like my friend Michael Ramsey has told me in the past, “Hair is like tires on a car, put a crappy tire on a very nice car the car will look crappy, put great tires on a crappy car, the car looks great” There are hair styles that we love, but understand it has to fit your face. If you are blessed with a high forehead you do not want to accent it more with a hairstyle that pulls your hair back. So when choosing a hairstyle set your preferences to the side and select the hairstyle that is the best fit for you. If you have a hard time choosing one, go to a professional hair stylist and discuss it with them. They will have a better idea of what you should do.

Once you have the hairstyle you want, keep it for at least a year. Diversity in hair style sounds great but it can really limit you in booking clients or with an agency. The client does not want surprises, so when they see your portfolio full of flavor hairstyle of the week, they will be very hesitant to hire you. They want to make sure you show up exactly the way you present yourself in the picture, not be surprised by a sudden different hairstyle. Female models have a little more freedom, it is ok to straighten, or curl it, but do not cut the hair to a different hairstyle.


Maintaining your hair is very important, keeping your hair it’s natural color will be an easier route, but if you prefer to dye it, make sure it stays the same color and your roots are done periodically especially before a photo-shoot. Never do a shoot with the roots of your hair a different color then the rest of the hair. Always, like your skin, apply moisturizer. The thicker the hair the more important it is to have it moisturize. You will have fewer breakage issues and your hair will appear healthier. When it comes to dyeing your hair, refrain from DIY hair dyes that you get from the store, they will damage your hair especially if you do not know what you are doing. Go to a professional hairstylist and they will do a great job of getting the hair color you want and they will make sure it looks natural. Take care of split ends, females have a natural understanding, but male models need to start paying more attention to their hair.

Teeth is simple, go to a dentist. Your body is an investment do not cheap out on it.
