It seems that at the worst possible times, your hair or your skin disappoint you. Whether it’s prom night, the big first date, or that really important job interview, your skin and your hair must be beautiful. Unfortunately things do not always go as planned so you may have a poor haircut or you may have skin issues that make an already stressful situation more challenging.
Skin Flare Ups
Your skin reacts and reflects your emotions, so if you are stressed about an upcoming event or activity, your skin will probably react accordingly. Some people experience acne blemishes while others may have red splotches, rashes, or dry skin flaking. Stress can often cause a chemical imbalance which could result in skin problems.
Haircuts
It could be a miscommunication with your hairdresser or a judgement error that could result in a bad haircut. Or sometimes the style just is not working for the occasion or upcoming event. In any case your hair is not looking like you want and your options are limited. What can be done?
Solutions When Hair or Skin Problems Occur
The following are some tips to help cover up a bad haircut and some makeup updates to help relieve some of that stress:
Clip it
Using hairpins and hair clips can save that unruly hairdo. Consider going with some retro bobby pins or maybe some fancier hair clips that complement your outfit.
Plan ahead
If your skin has a habit of “stressing out” for upcoming events, try to prepare beforehand with some preventive measures. Do extra cleaning, moisturizing, or treatments days or weeks ahead to help your skin calm down and get prepared for the event.
Curl or flatten
Help your hair by adding some curl or straightening depending on your situation. Throwing in some curls can do miracles for almost any haircut. Use a curling iron to carefully add some “messy” curls along with some bounce to your haircut.
Makeup concealer
The first option to help skin problems is to use a quality concealer product. The concealer should be as close to your natural skin tone as possible. Dab on the concealer in the affected areas. Then apply some foundation to even out the tone and blend with your skin.
Hair products
There are some remarkable hair products available that can calm down your crazy hair. The products can add shine or help to control a style. Try mousse, gel, hairspray or other items to help take control of your haircut.
Spray tan
A spray tan can help even your skin tone and give you a healthy look. Be careful not to go too extreme with the spray tan color. Instead choose a conservative shade that will work well with your skin type and help hide redness or other blemishes.
Hair extensions
Today’s extension options for hair can help practically anyone to have longer and fuller looking hair. You can add just a few extensions that clip on and can be removed quickly. Or you can have more professional extensions woven into your hair. Be sure to understand the care instructions for your extensions so they can last beyond just one event.
Facial
Sometimes skin problems need more than a quick fix. Try a deep clean facial along with some special treatments to help reduce your skin problems and even your skin tone.
Head cover
As a last resort you can try some fashionable head wear. Try a savvy hat, or use a practical yet attractive headband. There are scarves and other hair accessories that can cover up the bad haircut and still keep you looking your best.
