Insightful tips on how to achieve healthy and voluminous hair, by celebrity hairstylist Raymond Choon

What sort of haircuts should people try if they want a fresh makeover?

I understand that people are into trends right now, but for me, there are a few things to consider: 1. The shape of your face. 2. The quality and quantity of hair. 3. Your occupation. 4. The time you have for hair care. You need to be confident with your haircut, and if you know how to carry it, that is the trend. Otherwise, ‘hair trends’ are just something that is made up by other people, and you’d just end up being a follower.
