We all want great hair, and it starts with a haircut. You may bring in a photo, or describe what you want in your hairstyle to a "T", but are your expectations for a new look on par with what your hair can actually do? Does the celebrity style that you've been coveting match up with amount of time that you're willing to spend on your hair? Here are 11 things to consider, and points that your stylist likely won't say out loud, before you go in for your next haircut.
我們都希望有漂亮的發(fā)型，而一切都要從剪發(fā)開(kāi)始。你可能會(huì)拿來(lái)一張照片，或是向發(fā)型師精確描述你的理想發(fā)型，但是你的頭發(fā)真能讓你得償所愿嗎？你覬覦已久的明星發(fā)型和你所愿意為它付出的時(shí)間匹配嗎？以下11件事你必須考慮，而發(fā)型師在你下次光顧之前是不會(huì)坦白告訴你這些的。

1. Great Hair Takes Work. Sorry.
1.不好意思，漂亮發(fā)型很麻煩。

On some level, if you want your hair to look good it's going to take some work. Unless you have perfect hair, with great body, beautiful thickness, and absolutely no issues whatsoever, you will need to do something with your hair to make it look like that photo you brought in. ?By the way, I'm pretty sure that the aforementioned perfect hair doesn't really exist.
如果你想讓發(fā)型看起來(lái)漂亮，多少都要費(fèi)些工夫。除非你發(fā)質(zhì)完美，厚度適中，而且絕無(wú)瑕疵，你都得對(duì)你的頭發(fā)動(dòng)一番手腳，才能讓它看起來(lái)和你拿來(lái)的照片一樣。而且，我可以非?？隙ǖ母嬖V你，前面提到的完美發(fā)質(zhì)根本就不存在。

2. Surprise! Celebrities Have Hair Just Like You
2.好消息！明星的頭發(fā)其實(shí)和你一樣

Celebrities are born just as human as you and me, with one exception when it comes to hair. Celebrities hire teams of stylists, use extensions, wigs, top of the line hair products and processes that cost a fortune. Unless you're willing to pay those kind of prices, it's probably not realistic to have celebrity perfect hair everyday.
明星也是人，和你我一樣的人，頭發(fā)自然也不例外。明星聘請(qǐng)了一個(gè)連的發(fā)型師，假發(fā)、接駁、頂級(jí)護(hù)發(fā)產(chǎn)品和極其昂貴的護(hù)理程序。除非你也愿意花這么大的價(jià)錢(qián)，是不可能象明星那樣天天頂著完美發(fā)型的。

3. You Want Wash and Go Hair? Me too.
3.你想擁有不需打理的頭發(fā)？我也想啊

The truth is, very few people on this planet have wash and go hair. Many people look like they do (like the girl you work with whose hair is perfect all day long), but they have to work at it. They experiment with the right shampoo, get regular haircuts, try out new styling techniques, and they probably use product in their hair. By the way, we all secretly hate the girl with the perfect all day hair. It's okay.
事實(shí)是，地球人極少擁有不需打理的頭發(fā)。很多人看上去是這樣的（比如你女同事的頭發(fā)可能一整天都光鮮亮麗），但是她們其實(shí)也要打理。他們小心翼翼地試用香波，經(jīng)常剪發(fā)，嘗試新的造型技術(shù)，也可能對(duì)頭發(fā)用了各種產(chǎn)品。順便一提，我們對(duì)那些頭發(fā)鮮亮一整天的美眉充滿(mǎn)了羨慕嫉妒恨，這也情有可原。

4. You Need to Use Hair Products
4.你需要護(hù)發(fā)產(chǎn)品

If you don't want to use product in your hair, don't expect your hair to look like you did. Have you ever noticed how many products your stylist uses during your haircut/blowout? If you're still using Panteen ProV and Aqua net, it's time to find out why professional products are superior and will actually help you achieve salon hair everyday. Bottom line: new professional products are awesome and could give you a brand new appreciation for your hair.
用或不用護(hù)發(fā)產(chǎn)品，效果是截然不同的。你有沒(méi)有留意過(guò)你在剪發(fā)或吹發(fā)時(shí)，發(fā)型師用了多少種產(chǎn)品？如果你還在用潘婷或是資生堂，是時(shí)候想想為什么專(zhuān)業(yè)產(chǎn)品效果更佳，并且確實(shí)可以幫你每天達(dá)到沙龍級(jí)的效果了。最重要的是，新的專(zhuān)業(yè)產(chǎn)品非常棒，可能會(huì)令你頭發(fā)的狀態(tài)煥然一新。

5. You're Using That Product Wrong
5. 你用錯(cuò)了產(chǎn)品

Just because you're using product, doesn't mean you're using it right. If you're one of those girls that have been using the same product you used 10 years ago (it's okay, you don't have to admit it out loud), it is time for a change. Ask for advice on your hair products, and implement that advice at home. If your product isn't working out, ask to exchange your product for something that will work for you.
護(hù)發(fā)產(chǎn)品不但必須要用，還要用得對(duì)。如果你是一個(gè)十年如一日用同款產(chǎn)品的人（還好，你不用大聲坦白），該換換了。咨詢(xún)一下相關(guān)意見(jiàn)，并在家里嘗試一下。如果效果不明顯，還可以再換更適合自己的。

6. Change is Good. Embrace Change.
6.變變更漂亮

If you ask for a new look, but style your hair the same way you always have, you will likely not be happy with your hair's result. In fact, it will probably look like it always did. A haircut is simply the foundation to a great look. Styling is key. Ask your stylist for advice on properly styling your new cut.
如果你想要變個(gè)樣，但是又不想給頭發(fā)做個(gè)造型，那你很難如愿。事實(shí)上，結(jié)果只會(huì)是一如既往。剪發(fā)只是漂亮發(fā)型的第一步，造型才是關(guān)鍵。還是向發(fā)型師咨詢(xún)一下如何給剛剪的頭發(fā)來(lái)個(gè)造型吧！

7. If at First You Don't Succeed, Try Try Again
7.假如第一次不成功，嘗試再來(lái)一次

Practice makes perfect. Try new things with your hair and re-try them when you don't get it right the first time. Trust me, even hairstylist have a hard time blowing out their own hair, and it takes some skill to learn to curl your hair with a flat iron. Rome wasn't built in a day, neither is great hair.
熟能生巧。對(duì)頭發(fā)嘗試新的改變，如果第一次不成功，就試著再試一次。相信我，發(fā)型師在給自己吹頭發(fā)的時(shí)候也會(huì)費(fèi)勁兒，而且用發(fā)卷燙發(fā)確實(shí)需要技巧。羅馬不是一日建成的，漂亮發(fā)型當(dāng)然也不行。

8. You're Asking for the Impossible
8.你是想要天上的月亮嘛

Have real expectations with your hair. If you're only willing to put 5 minutes of styling into a hair style that should require 30 minutes, expect your hair to look that way. Ask your stylist to help you choose a look that matches the level of effort that you're willing to put in and that matches your hair's texture.
對(duì)頭發(fā)的期許要現(xiàn)實(shí)些。一個(gè)要花30分鐘造型的發(fā)型，你卻只愿意花5分鐘來(lái)做，那你也只能得到這么多。請(qǐng)發(fā)型師幫你選擇與你愿意花的時(shí)間相匹配的并且適合你發(fā)質(zhì)的發(fā)型吧。

9. Long Hair Takes More Work
9.長(zhǎng)發(fā)更費(fèi)勁

The more hair you have, the more time it will take to style. Which is a real drag if you were "blessed" with ridiculously thick hair, but it's just a truth that you have to accept.
頭發(fā)越多，造型所花的時(shí)間就越長(zhǎng)。上帝賜予你一頭濃密的頭發(fā)，但是這是不爭(zhēng)的事實(shí)。

10. Your Hair is Different Now, Deal With It
10.你的頭發(fā)現(xiàn)在不同了，需要打理

A salon chair is not a time machine. Hair changes over time as we age, just like our skin. It sucks, but we can only realistically work with the present condition of your hair. As much as you'd love to have your hair look the way it did 15 or 20 years ago, you will be much happier if you work with what you have, at the present moment, instead of focusing on what you once had.
沙龍的美發(fā)椅不是時(shí)間機(jī)器。發(fā)質(zhì)會(huì)隨著我們年齡的增長(zhǎng)而改變，就象我們的皮膚。這很糟糕，但是我們只能接受現(xiàn)實(shí)。盡管你很想讓頭發(fā)象15或20年前那樣，但還是面對(duì)當(dāng)下的情況吧，不要再糾結(jié)于過(guò)去了。

11. Your Hairstylist Ain't Happy Unless You're Happy
11.你開(kāi)心，發(fā)型師才會(huì)開(kāi)心

Your hairstylist sincerely wants you to look good and feel good about your hair. You represent her talent, experience, skill, and her good name. We honestly stress about your hair, and we want you to feel good about it. We want you to love it, to tell your friends about it, and to come back in six weeks with enthusiasm about it. If you don't love it, talk to your stylist about it. And if you do love it, tell her about that, too.
發(fā)型師打心眼兒里希望你喜歡自己的新發(fā)型。因?yàn)檫@才能體現(xiàn)她的才能、經(jīng)驗(yàn)、技巧和她的聲望。她真心重視你的頭發(fā)，并希望你為它驕傲。她希望你愛(ài)它，向朋友們各種炫耀，并在六周后再興奮地回來(lái)找她。如果你不喜歡，直接告訴發(fā)型師。當(dāng)然如果你確實(shí)喜歡，也要告訴她。
