A woman always needs to make sure her hair is looking its best when a picture is taken. After all, a photo lasts a lifetime – no one wants to be remembered as ‘that girl with the weird hair.’ So, the next time someone is about to snap a shot, remember these tricks that will make for picture-perfect hair:
Lay Off Volumizing Products
Sure, a little bit of volume can be helpful in real life, but using these products won’t actually help for pictures. International fashion photographer Babak told Daily Makeover that light shines through the spaces produced by the teasing and actually makes the hair look thinner. In order to fight this problem, use volumizing shampoo. Doing so will help the overall body of the hair, which sprays will not do.
Let It Be
Let that hair loose! “A style that’s too done will look severe on camera,” Babak said. The natural look is always more flattering on camera, as perceived movement is seen as attractive. Hairspray and other likewise products can unfortunately restrain the hair in an unfavorable manner and create helmet head.
Tame Flyaways
Flyaways are everywhere – seriously. They somewhat have a mind of their own, and that’s why every woman needs to use a serum to apply to the hair prior to picture taking. If this doesn’t work, rubbing static sheets to over the flyaways should do the trick!
Find The Right Lighting
The lighting can make or break a picture. “Avoid overhead light; it will dull your hair, give you dark under-eye circles and your nose will look like a light bulb,” author Shelley GoodStein told You Beauty. The most desirable light will brighten the face in a subtle yet embracing way, such as natural light. Also, looking into the light instead of away from it will enhance the hair’s highlights and produce a colorful shine.
