You've been wondering how you find your signature look for a long time? We asked star stylist Armin Morbach and found the answer.
Your own look is just as difficult to find as your own style. Not correct! Is not he. Most of us only believe this because we don't know where to look. We asked star stylist and hair expert from Schwarzkopf, Armin Morbach, in an interview and revealed the secret.
How do I find my own look?
First of all: stylists are not magicians. It's not that they see someone and just give the person some trending hairstyle. On the contrary, they first take a close look at the face: "We as experts have to brainstorm and work with the face as well," reveals Armin Morbach. By the way, we should do the same if we want to find our own look.
Of course, it's not as easy as it is with a professional. But since we currently have a lot of time anyway, it is enough if we only invest a few hours and just deal with ourselves.
I take half a day and just try it out: What about a headband, what about a chignon? We all have selfie cameras these days and can just try something out.
If you try out different hairstyles and then take a picture, you can end up using the elimination process to determine which look really suits you in your eyes. And yes, that can be more than one. Hair expert Armin Morbach explains to us: "It's like an accessory: if you style your hair differently every day, you look different. The eye first perceives your head."
You can wear the same dress for a week and just change your hair. If you have washed and wavy hair today, a high ponytail the next day, a chignon the next, then braids – I swear, at the weekend everyone would say 'It was styled differently every day and looked different'. If you change your clothes 100 times, but your head always looks the same, it doesn't look redesigned. And that's exactly what defines the look.
Trend: perfectly imperfect
And that's exactly the key to how we can make our own look special and different. It doesn't always have to be designer items, the latest items or trends. If you wear a different hairstyle – and maybe even different makeup – every day, you will feel different too. At least that's what Armin Morbach says.
By the way, you don't have to worry about whether your looks will look perfect. According to the expert, the trend is currently towards the imperfect anyway. Because we weren't able to go to the hairdresser's for a long time, necessity has become a trend. We see outgrown ponies, hairlines and fringed tips everywhere – and they look super cool!
