(Blog) How to Avoid the Dreaded Triangle

The before picture; I love it.

This lady was an awesome crazy lady with some poofy hair. This is a classic example of the "triangle". I have talked about this before with other examples of clients who have naturally curly hair. What happens is that as the layers grow out in the bottom it just keeps working its way out...and out…and out until the triangle has been created. Not only does the triangle drag you down and look unbalanced, it's just plain frustrating to deal with!

And then the after picture...bam!

You'll notice how much closer her hair sits to her face, which slims it down quite a bit. I also cut into her blunt bang section and created a ton of texture to soften her face.

OK, so she said I could mention this, so seriously, this lady is 45 years old! 

What? She looks amazing!

As an added tip: laugh a lot. I think that is what has kept her looking so great. She laughed almost the entire time I did her hair. It's something we could all do more.
