Match Your Hues
First things first – let's talk color! Your hair color is as unique as you are, so why not celebrate it? When seeking hairspiration, look for someone with a similar color palette. Whether you're a sultry brunette, a fiery redhead, or a bombshell blonde, finding a muse with comparable tones will help you visualize how a particular style will look on you and help you get a better idea of what you may or may not like. For instance, if you are desiring to be a sultry brunette, look for an inspo pic with someone who has the same natural hair as you!
Most people have natural levels of 5 -7! When looking for your next inspo, make sure your root color and the inspo’s root color are similar. This way you can ensure the tones, shades, and placement work for you!
2. Length Matters
Are you team short, medium, or long? Embrace your current hair length or, if you're feeling adventurous, the length you're eyeing for your upcoming hair makeover! Look for inspiration in celebrities or influencers who rock a length similar to yours or the length you're dreaming of. This step is crucial in getting a realistic picture of how the chosen style will suit you. If you really want to get specific, consider looking for an inspo picture with a similiar cut and colore to ensure your vision is captured and achieved!
3. Consider The Maintenance
Now, let's talk about the nitty-gritty – maintenance. We all know that some hairstyles demand more TLC than others. Consider your lifestyle, daily routine, and the time you're willing to invest in styling. If you're a low-maintenance queen, a wash-and-go style might be your best friend. On the other hand, if you love to experiment with different looks, a more intricate hairstyle might be up your alley.

4. Gauge Your Style Commitment
Here's a fun reality check – the "Fck-O-Meter." Ask yourself: How much do you care about the upkeep? The more intricate the hairstyle, the more time and effort it might require. Be honest with yourself about your commitment level. If you're not ready to spend hours in front of the mirror each morning, opt for a style that aligns with your lifestyle and the amount of "fcks" you're willing to give.
