髮型師不會告訴你的11個真相！

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髮型，而一切都要從剪髮開始。你可能會拿來一張照片，或是向髮型師精確描述你的理想髮型，但是你的頭髮真能讓你得償所願嗎？你覬覦已久的明星髮型和你所願意爲它付出的時間匹配嗎？以下11件事你必須考慮，而髮型師在你下次光顧之前是不會坦白告訴你這些的。

1. Great Hair Takes Work. Sorry.
1.不好意思，漂亮髮型很麻煩。

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.
如果你想讓髮型看起來漂亮，多少都要費些工夫。除非你髮質完美，厚度適中，而且絕無瑕疵，你都得對你的頭髮動一番手腳，才能讓它看起來和你拿來的照片一樣。而且，我可以非常肯定的告訴你，前面提到的完美髮質根本就不存在。

2. Surprise! Celebrities Have Hair Just Like You
2.好消息！明星的頭髮其實和你一樣
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，頭髮自然也不例外。明星聘請了一個連的髮型師，假髮、接駁、頂級護髮產品和極其昂貴的護理程序。除非你也願意花這麼大的價錢，是不可能象明星那樣天天頂着完美髮型的。

3. You Want Wash and Go Hair? Me too.
3.你想擁有不需打理的頭髮？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.
事實是，地球人極少擁有不需打理的頭髮。很多人看上去是這樣的（比如你女同事的頭髮可能一整天都光鮮亮麗），但是她們其實也要打理。他們小心翼翼地試用香波，經常剪髮，嘗試新的造型技術，也可能對頭髮用了各種產品。順便一提，我們對那些頭髮鮮亮一整天的美眉充滿了羨慕嫉妒恨，這也情有可原。

4. You Need to Use Hair Products
4.你需要護髮產品
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.
用或不用護髮產品，效果是截然不同的。你有沒有留意過你在剪髮或吹髮時，髮型師用了多少種產品？如果你還在用潘婷或是資生堂，是時候想想爲什麼專業產品效果更佳，並且確實可以幫你每天達到沙龍級的效果了。最重要的是，新的專業產品非常棒，可能會另你頭髮的狀態煥然一新。

5. You're Using That Product Wrong
5. 你用錯了產品
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.
護髮產品不但必須要用，還要用得對。如果你是一個十年如一日用同款產品的人（還好，你不用大聲坦白），該換換了。諮詢一下相關意見，並在家裏嘗試一下。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.
如果你想要變個樣，但是又不想給頭髮做個造型，那你很難如願。事實上，結果只會是一如既往。剪髮只是漂亮髮型的第一步，造型纔是關鍵。還是向髮型師諮詢一下如何給剛剪的頭髮來個造型吧！

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。對頭髮嘗試新的改變，如果第一次不成功，就試着再試一次。相信我，髮型師在給自己吹頭髮的時候也會費勁兒，而且用髮捲燙髮確實需要技巧。羅馬不是一日建成的，漂亮髮型當然也不行。

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.
對頭髮的期許要現實些。一個要花30分鐘造型的髮型，你卻只願意花5分鐘來做，那你也只能得到這麼多。請髮型師幫你選擇與你願意花的時間相匹配的並且適合你髮質的髮型吧。

9. Long Hair Takes More Work
9.長髮更費勁
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.
頭髮越多，造型所花的時間就越長。上帝賜予你一頭濃密的頭髮，但是這是不爭的事實。

10. Your Hair is Different Now, Deal With It
10.你的頭髮現在不同了，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.
沙龍的美髮椅不是時間機器。髮質會隨着我們年齡的增長而改變，就象我們的皮膚。這很糟糕，但是我們只能接受現實。儘管你很想讓頭髮象15或20年前那樣，但還是面對當下的情況吧，不要再糾結於過去了。

11. Your Hairstylist Ain't Happy Unless You're Happy
11.你開心，髮型師纔會開心
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.
髮型師打心眼兒裏希望你喜歡自己的新發型。因爲這才能體現她的才能、經驗、技巧和她的聲望。她真心重視你的頭髮，並希望你爲它驕傲。她希望你愛它，向朋友們各種炫耀，並在六週後再興奮地回來找她。如果你不喜歡，直接告訴髮型師。當然如果你確實喜歡，也要告訴她。
