🇬🇧 How not to depend on hair transition to have your hair with a natural texture

Let's talk about hair transition? My opinion on the topic may bother a lot of people due to their insecurities and attachments, but this is today's topic. And while it may be uncomfortable, I'm going to present a solution that no beauty salon would tell you about. Because it costs a lot less and you don't have to walk around with ugly hair for a single day. I suggest you read to the end.

I don't know if this is a fever in other countries as it is in Brazil, but as it is possible that it is an option in other places, I also publish the text in other languages.

I should note that in styling work my personal opinion is of no value. I am fully aware that people are different and I do not force anyone to make changes they are not comfortable with. But I use this site to present possibilities to people, especially to see less common options more naturally, to value the unique beauty of each person.

The transition that I am going to talk about today is that of naturally curly women who have straightened their hair in the past and now, in order to return to the natural texture, do more chemical procedures on their hair and spend a long time with it, half straight, half wavy, ugly as hell. Yes, it's ugly. If you can look at yourself in the mirror and feel beautiful with your hair in this state, your aesthetic sense is underdeveloped. I've never seen a single woman look beautiful during the hair transition process. Even considering celebrities.

My way to take care of hair is in the basics. If everyone took care of their hair by cutting regularly, cosmetics companies could invest in quality products for things that really matter, not to help people very attached to hair feed their insecurities.

Before talking about the solution, I must say that this attachment to long hair, even if it costs its health, has been learned, and can be unlearned. A good psychologist can be very useful to deconstruct this sexist idea from your head. But there is another way that I will also talk about below.

The quick, simple and cheap solution to have your hair with the natural texture without needing chemistry is to cut it very short or shave it. No salon will tell you this because for them the chemical procedure is more profitable.

The other way to stop thinking that you depend on long hair to be pretty or feminine is to look at how many gorgeous celebrities have or have had short or shaved hair. There are many beautiful celebrities with very short or shaved hair.  Some examples of beautiful women who often wear or have worn short or shaved hair at some point in their careers are Halle Berry; Anne Hathaway; Zoe Kravitz; Willow Smith; Cara Delevingne; Charlize Theron; Jada Pinkett Smith; Debora Falabella; Agyness Deyn; Linda Evangelista; Natalie Portman; Kristen Stewart; Michelle Williams; Lupita Nyong'o; Shailene Woodley; Alicia Keys; Milena Toscano; Tilda Swinton; Guilhermina Guinle; Audrey Tautou; Jana Knauer; Elliott Sailors; Ana Paula Arósio; Kate Moss; Madonna; Alessandra Amoroso; Angelina Jolie; Karen Gillan; Demi Moore; Nicole Kidman; Emma Watson; Winona Ryder; Victoria Beckham; Natalie Imbruglia; Martha Bateira; Ruby Rose; Kate Mara; Danai Gurira; Rooney Mara; Kate Hudson; Shannyn Sossamon; Miley Cyrus; Adut Akech; Megan Rapinoe and many others. Now you have tons of names to look up and get inspired by.

Does short hair take a long time to grow? Do not. Healthy, regularly cut hair grows very fast. Your anxiety about having long hair again can deceive you and make you think that it takes too long, but the reality is that short hair usually grows much faster than long hair because those with long hair usually run away from scissors.

🇬🇧 Reflections on diversity in fashion

Lately there is so much talk about diversity in fashion as if it didn't exist before. And this is a big lie.

I've been in the fashion industry for 40 years and there have always been brands that make bespoke suits. As a teenager I never found bikinis that fit me in regular stores, because at the time they only sold panties and top together, the same size, and I was wearing medium size panties and a small size top. But I discovered a shop, right there in my hometown, a city that was anything but cosmopolitan, which produced bespoke bikinis. Fortunately, in adult life, this size difference has disappeared and I can easily buy bikinis. But thirty years ago I was able to do it. And it's no different with clothes. I worked in more than one atelier that made bespoke clothes. I myself have worked creating and producing bespoke clothes and accessories with my signature at various points in my career.

There has never been an imposition of thinness by the media. Or any kind of imposition of a "beauty standard". Psychology explains this feeling that some have of imposition. Surely, those who think this are under pressure from other means, such as requests from family members, bullying, etc., and begin to pay attention and see how beautiful and attractive only those who are different from you in the media and outside of it.

Can you list ten celebrities with similar bodies to yours?  How are these celebrities viewed by the general public? It is not to repeat the point of view of those who criticise you! Use the comments to share your answers.

The importance of having the advice of a stylist who knows the fashion market well, the image as a communication tool, doses of psychology, among other important knowledge, is to have access to things that you would never have imagined existed and to use the knowledge of the professional to enhance your unique beauty. It is having a teacher to guide your journey in this universe of style and non-verbal communication. And the masters are important in the improvement process. In the case of public people, this is even more important so that what you say does not contradict your appearance by causing communication noise, among other things which can vary depending on the person's profession. My image work is totally personalised, without saying that your style has this or that name, which is why I rarely publish advice on the subject here, because experience has made me understand that people with less experience than me in the market or those who are not professionally related to the fashion industry misinterpret this type of information. I only share what is applicable to any specific person or group, things that are less likely to be misrepresented by ignorance. And that will only be misrepresented by people who aren't my target audience.

To hire my stylist service, visit the Services Available page on this site and follow the instructions.  The service has variations to suit companies.
