How to Get an Edgy Hairstyle
- 1). Go to a bookstore or go online and look through the most recent issues of fashion magazines that you like. Pay attention to shorter hairstyles worn by the models in the magazines. Look for styles with movement, texture, slanted cuts and unique angles.
- 2). Mark the pages with the top three or four hairstyles that you think would look good on you. Purchase the magazines or print off the photos and take them to a professional hairstylist.
- 3). Show the photos of the edgy hairstyles that you like to your hairstylist. Ask which one he thinks would best complement your facial structure. Review exactly what the hairstylist will do to your hair and how he will cut it before he takes a pair of scissors to your head to make sure that you know what to expect and approve of the type of cut he plans to give you.
- 4). Ask the stylist to explain step by step how he dries and styles your hair after the cut is complete. Purchase any products such as hair gel or mousse, hairspray or pomade that you may need to get the edgy style that you want out of your new haircut. Ask your stylist which retail hair products will give your hair volume and lift the roots, which are essential to achieving an edgy hairstyle. Buy hair pins, a roller brush and hairdryer, if necessary, to style your hair for that edgy cut.
