I am about to scream! Can anybody suggest someone who can cut my hair in a normal way? Everywhere I go, I end up with thinned, frizzy hair! I have a lot of hair, mind you, but all I want is a nice, healthy looking cut that'll remain so after I wash. But no matter how much I explain, I still end up getting my hair all frizzed up in the end and when I come home and wash off that nice blow-dry, it is not what I asked for! Help!! Why do they do this??

Hi Bamarama
Unfortunately, this is a fashion at the moment here in Hong Kong.
Whilst it occasionally may work with Asian hair: especially with teenagers. Hairdressers here tend to follow trends without questioning whether the technique of thinning the ends is suitable to either: the type of hair they are working with or even if it is necessary to the haircut itself.
The next time you go for a cut, please make sure you have a proper consultation before your hair is shampooed, explain what you want and do not like, have them show you pictures if it helps, and above all, be completely sure that the hair dresser looks at and understands the type of hair you have.
Otherwise, thank them for their time and go elsewhere.

Bamarama,
Philip has good advice as always but I would like to add a little. I do feel when Philip mentions 'hairdressers' here he is realy refering to local stylists as it is their trend to cut hair in this fashion. That said there is one well know western 'branded' big name salon that also does this a lot to most of their clients.
What you need is a more blunt end cut. If it is layered then the layers need to be 'cut' not razored, sliced or textured. With the HK humuidity using texture techniques often leeds to frizz so its not a great idea for many people. Of course your hair texture does come into play to as Philip says, make the most out of your consultation.

I'm assuming you are female and if so, I am also female with huge amounts of hair which was layered too much and made it frizzy. My new hairdresser, Catherine at Paul Gerrard is letting my hair grow out and it's taken almost a year, but I no longer look like i've stuck my finger in a socket! She's Australian and fabulous!!I almost don't want you to know about her as it wil make it harder for me to get an appt. with her, but since I like her so much, I figure I should give her the gift of referrals and give you the benefit of my experience. Robin at Paul Gerrard's is also fabulous.
