Adolescence is often the time of all the hair follies. First hair color, first bangs but also first disasters … Teens like to change their style, adapting to the trend of the moment or go back to timeless classics. To guide your teenager, we have prepared a selection of haircuts and hairstyles for girls and boys.
It is difficult to find the haircut that will highlight your teen's facial features, body type or even skin tone. Indeed, before changing your head, you have to ask yourself if the haircut your teenager has in mind is really feasible and if it will really suit him. First of all, you have to pay attention to the nature of the hair: straight, curly or wavy, but also to the fragility of the hair: fine, brittle, strong. Indeed, if the hair is too fragile, it will not be able to withstand the discolorations and colorings galore, which could greatly damage its hair. Also, if you want to cut with bangs, the hair should not be too thick, at the risk of having to straighten it regularly. A constraint that may not please your lazy teenager.
Young people also like to change their hair colors, a choice that should be given some thought. Indeed, there are several ways to color them either at home with natural products such as henna or with colorings without ammonia. You can also color them with a product with ammonia, but this type of coloring is quite harsh on the hair. There are also colorations only for strands, to have a bronde or tie and dye effect. If your teen does not want to have a radical change, it will be more advisable to do a temporary coloring, which will last a few weeks. If your teenager has fragile or brittle hair, we advise him to color himself temporarily with colored chalk: pink, blue, blond, mahogany or gray.
To have a beautiful color, it must be adapted to the skin tone of your teenager and the color of his eyebrows. For example, if your child is very brown and wants to switch to a very light blond, this coloring could cause him to have a fairly strong demarcation at the level of the roots but also at the level of the eyebrows.
Avoid unpleasant surprises
We have all already known this anxiety before going to the hairdresser: will my hair not be too short? Will this color match my skin tone? What if this cut doesn't suit me at all in the end? So many questions that torment our minds before taking the big step. For teens it's even worse, a failed haircut is almost a sacrilege for them.
Because yes, who has never been disappointed with their haircut after the hairdresser’s famous scissors? When we ask to cut a few centimeters of hair and we have the nice surprise to end up with a plunging bob (we exaggerate a little, but at the moment that's what we have the impression to see, don't isn't it?) or when you ask to have a pretty hairstyle with a blonde tie-dye effect on the lengths and you end up with chick yellow locks.
Fortunately, there are seasoned professionals capable of making the most beautiful and original requests. However, a hairdresser can not work miracles, you will never be able to go from a type of black hair to a light blonde without going through the discoloration box for example. Also, you will not be able to switch from a thin hair type to a thick one. It is therefore important to be aware of the limits of your hair and its nature, before you start looking for a hairstyle. To avoid unpleasant surprises, follow our list of hairstyles for teenagers, to readjust according to their tastes. These hairstyles can be worn by a girl as well as a boy and by a. teenager as by a child.
