Most haircuts can be styled in different ways (heck, this one ‘do was transformed 30 times), so ask your hairdresser about other ways you can style it. If she blows your hair out straight, ask what products and techniques you can use to make it wavy or curly. If she flips your ends under, ask her how you can get a piece-y, flipped out look if you want.

Your stylist should have tons of insight on how to make your cut more versatile, and may even give you some styling short cuts for days you’re feeling lazy — if you ask.
