I'm sitting in the hairdressers having my colour done. Then I'm going to have a Brazillian blow dry thing. So I've got a couple of hours before I have it cut.
I have long (bra strap length) hair with a grown out blunt fringe. My hair is very thick & when it's down it just falls all over my face & annoys the hell out of me.
I wanted to have some layers, well, quite a lot of layers, kind of that 'two hairstyles in one' thing you see, the short bob on top with long underneath bit, plus I want my grown out fringe incorporated into the hair around my face.
Told my hairdresser all this & he sucked his teeth in a plumber-esque way& said if I have layers my hair will puff out more.
So what should I do? Insist on layers? Stick with it long & one length and never have my hair down because it irritates me so much?
I want to keep the length. I just wanted it less heavy!!
Any suggestions?
I have a big fat face & short neck btw.

Just take one without your face in it. From the side or something.

I'm really interested to hear how the Brazilian blow dry goes.

A Brazilian blow dry is a hair treatment. They paint some stinky gunk on, comb it through & leave it for 45 mins. Then they straighten it.
It's meant to make your hair much easier to manage, smoother, less frizzy, a bit straighter.
I've had one before & it was great for a few weeks but soon went back to frizzy & tangly. I think it was because I used sls containing shampoos etc, I've got the proper stuff this time so hopefully it'll last a bit longer.
I'm on the app so can't post pics.
