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.
