Hi bees,
I had a hair trial that did not go well a couple of weeks ago. I’m re-doing it today. Picture 1 below was my inspiration pic that I showed her last time (from a friend’s wedding) and picture 2 is what she did to my hair at my trial. I want to show her both pics today and try to explain the difference but the only way I can think of to say it is that I want it “looser” or more random. Does anybody have any other ideas?
Thanks SO much!
Pic 1 (the way I want it to look)
Pic 2 (the way it looked at the first trial)

Looser curls and more volume. It looks like the girl in your inspiration pic has more hair than you (please don’t take that the wrong way!) which could be why the first picture looks fuller…unless your stylist was “hiding” hair underneath the visible curls. If that’s the case, tell her not to do that!
I really like your flowers, btw. 🙂

Make sure to bring both of the pictures so she can physically see the difference.
I think you want more curls and you want more of a loose, “messy” look rather than one that is more tightly pulled back.
Good luck!

@Mrs Grape: So funny that you say that. They’re both me, within about 4 months of eachother (just trims in between) so I’m really glad someone else agrees that it looked fuller in the inspiration pic! And thanks about the flowers! hehe. Your tips will be super helpful!
@brideatbeach: I think those key words – loose/messy vs tight – will be key! Thanks so so much!

I think two things play into this:
- Length and volume of hair. Seems as if the girl in the inspiration picture has a longer, fuller length than you.
I’m sure it’s possible to achieve the look that you do want so I agree with another PP who said to bring in a copy of each picture to show the differences.

NVM – I just now saw after I posted that you’re the girl in the first picture. Very interesting to say the least. I would point out the volume differences still and the fact that the inspiration picture has more, loose curls.

@Rouquine: Definitely volume is key! I’m not sure what she did to my poor locks to make them seem so puny, hehe. Let’s hope she sees the difference today
@Mrs Grape: haha no worries! I thought it looked TOTALLY different too so I’m glad I’m not nuts. And I probably wasn’t totally clear about the fact that both are me. 🙂
