A good haircut is not a matter of luck \u2013 it is about communication. If you know what and how to ask, you are much more likely to get exactly what you imagined.<\/em><\/p>\n

Why is it not enough just to \u201edo something\u201d?<\/h2>\n

Many men get up from the barber\u2019s chair feeling dissatisfied \u2013 not because the barber did a bad job, but because they didn't understand each other. A haircut is also about communication, and if one party doesn't state precisely what they would like, the end result can easily go wrong.<\/p>\n

A barber doesn't read minds. They see the shape of your face, your hair and your current hairstyle \u2013 but they don't know what you consider long, short, or sharp. You have to tell them. The more precise the communication, the more likely you are to like the result.<\/p>\n

A professional barber is happy to help if you don't know exactly what to ask for \u2013 but in order to make a recommendation, they need to know a few things about you. That is the point of the consultation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

How to communicate with your barber<\/h2>\n

A few simple ways to convey much more accurately what you want \u2013 even if you are not well-versed in professional terminology.<\/p>\n

Show a reference image<\/strong><\/p>\n

The simplest and most effective method. A picture saves a thousand words \u2013 and avoids misinterpretations. You don't need to find a perfect picture, just something similar where you can explain what you like about it.<\/p>\n

Tell me about your lifestyle<\/strong><\/p>\n

How much do you want to deal with your hair? Is your lifestyle sporty or office-based? Do you have time to style it in the morning, or not? These all influence which style works in your everyday life.<\/p>\n

Tell me the lengths<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you have an idea of the specific lengths, say: \u201eback and sides number 1\u201d, \u201eleave it longer on top\u201d, \u201enot too blended\u201d. Numbers and reference points are more precise than words like \u201eshort\u201d or \u201emedium\u201d.<\/p>\n

Tell me what you DO NOT want<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is often easier to define what you do not like than what you do. \u201eNot too short on top\u201d, \u201ethe fade should not be too sharp\u201d, \u201ethe hair on the crown shouldn't disappear\u201d \u2013 these are all useful guidelines.<\/p>\n

Would you like to know that instead of misleading misconceptions what are the truly effective home and professional solutions with which you can permanently get rid of the dandruff that frequently returns in men<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Some basic concepts worth knowing<\/h2>\n

You don't need to know the barbering trade at a professional level to communicate well \u2013 but a few basic terms can help you express what you want more precisely.<\/p>\n
