Good advice. 

I work with the makers of Sofn’free hair care, and the head of education, Will Williams, agrees that working with a trusted stylist is key.  

Styles and length depend on texture characteristics, and after these considerations have been met, there’s the style selection.  Take into consideration your face and body type, lifestyle, work style, and your tolerance for maintenance.  Then even go so far as to list the pros and cons of a haircut on paper.  If you decide to go shorter, ask your stylist if you should consider color enhancement and makeup changes.  When it’s haircut day, don’t worry about the hair on the floor; it’s what’s on your head and how it’s cut that count.
