5 Tips For The Perfect Hairstyle Selfie

Snap! We live in a world where cameras are neither strange nor special. Nowadays, it's normal to see your friends posting photos of themselves or their favorite things on a daily basis and uploading them on social media.

In a way, photos are an amazing way to keep up with your friends and family from far away. They're also a great way to showcase the things or people you're most fond of.

Did you just get a new hairstyle and want to show off your hair to everyone in your friend list? Here are five tips to getting the perfect hairstyle selfie!

1. Prep your hair, always

If you really want to make sure that you've got the perfect hairstyle selfie, that means that you should prep your hair way before you want the picture to be taken. And since we're always surrounded by cameras anyway, that means taking care of your hair on a regular basis. Sure, it may seem over-the-top, but come on, don't you think it's worth it for your very own crown of glory?

2. Apply volumizing products

Photos, (well, at least most) are two-dimensional, which can make your hair look pretty 2D too, depending on its condition and the way the photo is taken. If you think your hair looks too limp and dry, apply some volumizing products first before snapping up some shots! You can also brush your roots to give them more height, or curl your hair to give it that much-needed volume.

3. Use accessories to glam up

Not feeling glam enough? Accessories can instantly provide you the 'glam' that you need, provided that you don't go overboard. You can also go for hairstyles that look like accessories all on their own, such as these lovely braided hairstyles.

4. Pick a good angle

Not all of us are photogenic, that's for sure, but all of us have one angle that's better than all the others. Your job now is to find that angle and remember it. Of course, you shouldn't just limit yourself to one angle, but if you really want the perfect hairstyle selfie, you better start practicing in front of the mirror now!

5. Don't give up

You may not get it right the first time, but that's never an excuse to stop trying. Try a new hairstyle, try a new angle, try a new accessory – just don't stop trying!  As long as you keep practicing, you're bound to get that perfect shot one of these days!
