5 Do’s and Don’ts for the hair appointment before your senior session:

1. Avoid drastic changes: now is not the time to change your hair color or opt for a big chop. If you hate it, it will be forever immortalized in your senior pictures. Yikes!

2. Touch up your roots: if you dye your hair, this is the perfect time to color your roots so that they’re cohesive with the rest of your hair.

3. Maintain your highlights: if you have highlights, now is the time to have them refreshed. Make sure to use a salon grade shampoo and conditioner that won’t turn your highlights brassy by the time your session takes place.

4. Get a fresh trim: get rid of any and all dried and split ends so that your hair looks flawless for your big day. Subtle, long layers photograph beautifully if you’re itching to change it up a bit.

5. Don’t forget your extensions: if you are wearing extensions for your senior pictures, they will need to have the same treatment (color and/or highlights) as the rest of your hair to ensure they seamlessly blend in.
