What's the Name of That Haircut?

If you're trying to find the name of a specific haircut, you might be in a bit of a quandary, especially if you can't view images directly. Don't worry; I can help guide you through the process of finding a new haircut that matches your vision. Whether you know the name or just have a picture, we can figure it out.

Describing Your Desired Haircut

Almost everyone has a specific haircut in mind when they're looking for a new style. Sometimes, all these cuts have names, like a shag, bob, pixie, or mullet. However, not all haircuts have a universally recognized name, and even named cuts come in many variations. Your ideal bob might be different from what your stylist envisions. Always bring reference photos to your appointment. Even if you think you know the haircut's name, it's best to use the picture for reference.

Communicating with Your Stylist

It would be ideal if you could show your stylist the exact image of the haircut you're looking for. However, even with a picture, your stylist might not be able to instantly recognize it. They can still help you achieve the look you want. Bring a close-up picture and discuss your vision with your stylist to ensure you get the haircut you desire. Don't just tell them the name of the style; show them the picture.

The Specific Look You Described

Based on your description, it sounds like you're referring to a haircut with long, curly hair. The texture appears to be 3b or 3c curly, but not as gravity-defying as a traditional Afro. Let's explore some potential names for this style:

Head of Hair Voluminous Curls: This term describes voluminous, curly hair that provides plenty of texture and volume. Disco Hair: This style might imply a more voluminous, textured look that would have been popular in the disco era, highlighting the natural texture of the hair.

The Cut Itself

The actual cut you described is a long, rounded cut with layers starting just below the chin. Maintaining this style is more difficult unless you have naturally thick, wavy hair that can hold the volume. For someone with fine, silky hair—like me—the maintenance would be much more challenging. Even with products like dry shampoo and styling aids, the style would require regular upkeep to maintain its shape and volume.

Professional Advice

Hairdressers are talented and skilled, but they are not magicians. Before you get a new haircut, especially an unusual or complex style, it's essential to discuss your expectations with your stylist. They can provide insights into what it would take for your hair type to maintain the new style. Consider factors like hair texture, thickness, and the amount of styling required.

Best of Luck!

Remember, finding the right haircut is a collaborative process between you and your stylist. Don't hesitate to bring reference photos, and be open to discussion about what's possible. Best of luck in finding your perfect cut!
