HAIRCUT - Angela Asistio

Today I cut my friend Angela's hair at the salon.  She had a haircut that had been grown out for over 6 months, which on top of looking unpolished also comes with plenty of natural breakage and an overall dry appearance.  Solution? Get your hair cut often, and it'll be easier to look at yourself in the morning.

BEFORE:

Angela has plenty of course, thick, beautiful hair(yay for Filipino genetics!).  However it was looking dry and unkempt due to her 8 month grow out. 

The ends of her hair were thinned out too much from her previous cut. The cut was also unintentionally uneven. Thinning shears on coarse hair is generally a bad idea in my opinion.  It causes the shorter, thinned out bits to frizz up and cause an unhealthy appearance.



AFTER:

Even, solid, lush and healthy hair!  I evened up her layering and cut a good 3 inches off the ends to get rid of that thin appearance.  Her layers are soft, long, and natural, and the weight in them keep her coarse hair weighed down.  This hair cut also is convenient for her lifestyle, because she doesn't have to do anything to it for it to look nice.

Product I used for her smooth blow dry:

L'Oreal Smooth Velours

I use about a quarter size in my palm, and run it mid-lengths through ends on towel dried hair before blow drying.  This cream consistency product is ideal for medium coarse hair.  It helps smooth out a blow dry without weighing it down.

L'Oreal Liss Ultime

A silicon-based smoothing serum that works on medium to extremely coarse hair.  It helps the blow dry with shine and hold for a few days.




Angela also works with KXSC Radio, so if you like good music check it out online, or if you live in Los Angeles 1560AM in your car!
