What are the 3 key points when asking for a close-cropped mash at a hair salon?
Basically, it is quick and accurate to show magazines and catalogs to a hair stylist, but there may be times when you want to consult with a hair stylist to make a decision without making a specific decision on your own. In such cases, it is easier for the hairdresser to make a proposal if you tell him or her what you want to some extent. Therefore, it is important to be able to tell the hairdresser about a few points right away. So, here are some tips on how to ask for a mop-up mash that you should keep in mind!
The point (1) when you ask for a mash cut at a hair salon: “heavy mash style or light mash style”.
First, it is important to decide on the overall look, whether you want a ” heavy, subdued mash ” or a ” light, fresh mash “. All styles are not too heavy because the sides and neckline are trimmed, but the atmosphere can be completely changed by adjusting the length and volume of the bangs and top part of the hair. In particular, the length and volume of the hair at the top are important. The more length and volume is left, the more relaxed the style will be, with a center of gravity toward the front. A heavy mash is recommended if you want a natural look without using much styling product, while a light mash is recommended if you want to create movement and fun with styling products.
The point 2 when you ask for a close-cropped mash at a hair salon: “How much do you want to trim the sides and the collar?
When mowing, the hairdresser will surely ask “how many millimeters do you want to mow?” and “how far do you want to mow? The general mowing length is 5 mm, and you can change the impression by going up or down a few mm above or below that. Since hair basically grows 1 cm a month, the slight difference in mowing will be felt only for a few weeks, but the difference of a few mm is significant. If you want a more masculine look, 3mm is the best choice, and for the rest, 5~7mm is safe. The height at which the hair is cut is also important, and it is best to ask the hairdresser for the best balance, as there are some cut positions that do not suit those with a tight sideburns or a long face.
The point (3) when you ask for a mash cut at a hair salon: “What about coloring and perms?
Many people may imagine a mash style with straight hair and beautiful rounded shape, but there is also a trend for mached styles that make the most of frizzy hair, perms, and coloring to change the atmosphere dramatically. Some styles dare to create a difference by leaving only the trimmed part of the hair black and dyeing the rest, so it is no exaggeration to say that there are more variations than other hairstyles. It is important to decide at the time of making an appointment if you want to have a perm or coloring, as it takes time.
