Factors that define a hairstyle

A hairstyle's aesthetic considerations may be determined by many
factors, such as the subject's physical attributes and desired self-
image or the stylist's artistic instincts.

Physical factors include natural hair type and growth pattern, face
and head shape from various angles, and overall body proportions;
medical considerations may also apply. Self-image may be directed
toward conforming to mainstream values (military-style crew cuts or
current "fad" hairstyles such as the Dido flip), identifying with
distinctively-groomed subgroups (e.g., dreadlocks or punk hair), or
obeying religious dictates (e.g., Orthodox Jewish payot or the Sikh
practice of kesh), though this is highly context-dependent and a
"mainstream" look in one setting may be limited to a "subgroup" in
another.

Hairstyling may also include adding accessories (such as headbands,
barrettes, to the hair to hold it in place, enhance its ornamental
appearance, or partially or fully conceal it with coverings such as a
kippa, hijab, or turban.
[edit] Hairstyle process

Hair dressing may include cuts, weaves, coloring, extensions, perms,
permanent relaxers, curling, and any other form of styling or
texturing.
[edit] Length and trimming

Hair cutting or hair trimming is intended to create or maintain a
specific shape and form. Its extent may range from merely trimming the
uneven ends of the hair to a uniform length to completely shaving the
head.

The overall shape of the hairstyle is usually maintained by trimming
it at regular intervals. There are ways to trim one's own hair but
usually another person is enlisted to perform the process, as it is
difficult to maintain symmetry while cutting hair at the back of one's
head. Although trimming enhances the hair's appearance by removing
damaged or split ends, it does not promote faster growth or remove all
damage along the length of the hair.

Stylists often wash a subject's hair first, so that the hair is cut
while still slightly damp. Compared to dry hair, wet hair can be
easier to manage in a cut/style situation because the added weight and
surface tension of the water cause the strands to stretch downward and
cling together along the hair's length, holding a line and making it
easier for the stylist to create a form.

This may cause certain problems with curly hair, which has a greater
degree of unfurling when fully wet; also, different areas of the hair
may curl in different degrees or directions. Cutting curly hair while
wet may result in unexpected results when dry, depending how the curls
coil back up.
