are we doing with YOUR hair well i <{><[><.>li <.>i <[>tell me all about it clears throat laughs um it's quite good hair mm but the thing IS that i'm going overseas soon and i'm going somewhere where it's gonna be really hot so i thought <.>either like when i knew i was going i'd just sort of started growing it cos i <&>9:00 had it sort of down to here and it <.>was it's really hard to handle hair at that length yeah well it's sort <.>of like and then it will grow and then it sort <.>of it grows REALLY REALLY fast that's the thing i thought well if i'm not near a good hairdresser then i don't want someone just attacking it so i thought well either i'll grow it long or i'll get it cut short in a style that's easy to manage plus get a length that suits you looking at your bone structure lines you've got clears throat areas around your cheek bones where you're quite prominent <{1><[1>through there and then <.>you the angle goes in through your chin line so we're looking at sort of like <,,> triangle can you see that <{2><[2>clears throat so therefore anything in that area at the bottom of your jaw line is gonna suit you <,,><&>4 fringe or without a fringe you can wear both <,> <{3><[3>so you can have either or <[1>mm <[2>yeah <[3>oh yeah yeah it's just the thing with a fringe it's always such a pain to grow it out yeah yeah i know <{><[>what you mean <[>have <.>you <[>cos it just keeps sticking out and when it starts coming down i just get the scissors and i just go <&>makes cutting noises <{><[>yeah <[>okay so if you reduced this to a shorter length <{><[>and you have a fringe through there can you see what's gonna <&>10:00 actually happen <[>mm i'm not gonna look very FAT down there all square <{><[>it's gonna square off off your face so if you're sort of taking this at a shorter length this needs to come up which will open your face up again <[>yeah right and you can wear that shorter under there can you see that mm it just opens your <.>whole and the idea is to get that oval shape <,> so if you go shorter here er your fringe would have to come up if you're leaving it a longer length you can leave your fringe down <,> <{1><[1>which suits you okay because you're getting your length from these front pieces see the line running through your <{2><[2>length here that's what creating more length in your bone structure <[1>yeah <[2>yeah i think i actually suit it sort of this length i've had it REALLY long <{><[>and i've had it REALLY REALLY short like shaved up the back but i <.>just <[>yeah yeah yeah you're getting very weak on the ends of your hair though aren't you has it got split ends yeah <.>j it's possibly where you've been growing it out it's just getting a little bit too wispy <.>on it's breaking away <{1><[1>the actual shape itself <{2><[2>can you see that see your different lengths in through there <[1>right <[2>so it needs a cut mm oh right <{><[>yeah there <[>clears throat <&>11:00 see there you're getting a nice sleek line running through to about there and then all of a sudden it's becoming very broken away it's only where you've probably been growing it out would that be right yeah mm so that needs to be evened up and tidied up through there yeah cos when i had this really short cut it was long at the front and short at the <{><[>back so it was really <[>yeah yeah quite a pain to um grow it out so it's been a while since you've had it cut yes yeah clears throat students <{><[>laughs <[>laughs word isn't it yeah why is this word maybe it's <{><[>the best thing word <[>it's EXPENSIVE getting haircuts well that's WHY i stopped having short hair cos i couldn't afford to keep it looking nice you know we have student discount laughs MOST salons have student discounts how much is it how much is a haircut yeah for students twenty seven i think right <,,> mm maybe i will <,> cos it definitely needs tidying up word <&>obscured by other people talking for nine seconds see how much weight is running from the roots through to the ends mm <&>12:00 and all of a sudden see how weak it's becoming up through these areas here right yep see this yeah see the weight running from there to there and then all of a sudden it gets very weak round the bottom and that's exactly what's happened on the bottom here so it will hang better if it's thicker yeah <,> it's gonna take a bit of time because you don't really want to cut too much off do you you see in actual fact you really need to cut back to about there mm which is quite a bit of hair oh that's not <.>TOO i mean that's not TOO bad that would make a nicer shape clears throat it would also make your hair swing better as well <,> it would move better cos you've got quite straight hair very straight if the line was right on it it would move and swing yeah whatever way you moved your head clears throat at the moment because it's so weak on the ends of it it's just breaking away so is that bad for it yeah and the other thing too is if this is starting to split it's probably starting to split now and this'll just keep <.>mo working back up the hair shaft oh right yeah <&>13:00 that's the reason why you should get your hair trimmed quite regularly because your hair will split and it will just keep moving up the hair shaft and it splits and breaks off word sounds horrible doesn't it but that's what actually happens clears throat the other thing i could get it permed cos it takes a perm quite well but i really sort of quite like it just <{><[>straight <,> cos um yeah the perm seems to stay in for ages and ages but it's just the last wee bit that it starts to fray and it goes and word around word <[>straight so once again with your hair i mean the rest of it's fine clears throat but i think that's the only thing you've got to watch is if you're wearing this down and with a fringe this can't be too short here cos it's just gonna square <.>in square your face up <{><[>too much <[>mm <,> so if i got that much trimmed you should be okay yeah it'll be fine about two centimetres or something yep <,> well bit more <{><[>just a tad <[>laughs THREE centimetres an inch an inch and a half inch and a half mm <&>14:00 it's just that it's quite <.>a quite a good thing when you can just tie it <{><[>back word <[>just tie it back eh you <.>shou you <.>s should still have enough hair to tie back i think yeah <,> <{><[>mm <[>okay tut okay well <{><[>maybe i WILL come in <[>all right does that help thank you that's all right no trouble <&>14:13
