As the title goes, what is your usual request to the hairdresser? Do you have a specific style you ask for? Or do you keep a set of images so that you can show them what you want?

I ask for a scene kid haircut. Still have yet to actually get one. They always do a nice job layering my hair and I'm usually happy enough with the results. Just no one seems to get what I'm asking for. Even if i show pictures.

    Not every style is possible with every hair type. One of my kids wanted a pixie and I told her "you can't go that short, your hair is coarse and thick like mine, it will just look bulky, it won't do what you are picturing."

    She got the cut anyway and guess what? It was just bulky.

    So it may be the same haircut with a different result. A bob on me is flat on top and wide like Rosanna Danna, my hair needs layers to be a nice shape. But my kids with thinner/finer hair can pixie or bob theirs with great results.

    I will never be able to have bangs, hair is too curly for real bangs, not curly enough for curly bangs.

    In short - there is no style possible for every head of hair, and no head of hair that can rock every possible style.
