One thing that I have noticed while working as a professional photographer all these years, is that hair can play such an important role in the overall look of your senior photos. 

This is why it is important that you take good care of your hair so that it doesn’t look dull and unimpressive. To help my loyal readers, I have shared some of the best tips that will help their hair look expensive in no time. 

1. Avoid Washing Your Hair Daily

One of the best ways to make your hair look expensive is by not washing it every day. Although it might sound counterproductive, washing your hair daily strips it of crucial nutrients. Thus, it results in dull hair which is why you need to avoid shampooing your hair daily. Instead, you should wear a proper shower cap every time you jump in the shower. 

2. Add Some Color

Want a little extra va-va-voom? If you are thinking about adding a little shine or glamour to your luscious locks, consider a trip to your hair salon for a little color boost.

3. Get Regular Hair Trims

While you are at the hair salon anyway, why not go ahead and get a hair trim. A trim is much safer to get than getting a full haircut and hair transformation right before your photoshoot. You want to better recognize the lovely face looking back at you in the mirror.

When you trim your hair, it helps get rid of any broken, damaged, or split ends. You will look more put together for your camera-ready moment.

4. Use the Right Products

Everyone has different hair. You might have frizzy, thick, curly, or straight hair. This is why you should invest in the right products that are geared towards taken care of your special type of hair. 

Also, a find a good heat protector and use some hair oil to show your tresses some love. It will help make sure that your hair looks healthy and is protected. 

5. Use a Flat Iron or Curling Iron

A great way to smoothen your hair is by using a flat or curling iron. It will make your hair look healthier and more polished. All you need to do is straighten or curl the ends of your hair to make your hair look extra beautiful, sleek, and less frizzy. Yay!

6. Select a Timeless Hair Style

Lastly, it is a good idea to select classic and timeless hair style. Your hair will look more expensive than ever before. Plus, your images will look better over the course of time.

Styles such as a classic French braid, twist, or a bun can help elevate the look. Just be sure to frame your face with some of your hair, it will look more flattering to your facial features.
