I think as long as it's sculpted and sleek and not a too crazy hair colour DCs can incorporate trends. Dramatic Classic doesn't mean old fashioned. 🤗

Hi l., iam also a summer type + for me, diane kruger's style (hair/makeup) is a good direction.

Same here. I have been typed in the warm soft color category, so I guess soft autumn But I come alive in the deeper colors, especially with hair and makeup in DC style.

Same for me, it's the haircuts and styles that seal the deal. Smooth and one length is the way to go.

Your coloration sounds very similar to mine, so I think you're probably a light summer type too. I would recommend staying very close to your natural hair colour. To even out your colour, you could opt for an all-over application of a single hair dye colour that is very similar to your natural hair colour. For example, I'm naturally light ash blonde = 9.1, but closer to 9.13 beige blonde in the summer months. These hair dye colour numbers both work well for me, but I find 9.13 is a bit richer looking due to the hint of warmth that the 3 adds. One level lighter (10.13) or darker (8.13) is also nice, but the regrowth shows more. I hope this helps a little!

If you like your hair colour that’s all that matters! Who cares what the internet or Ally say!

@@xcobyxzei I like my hair color, but I´m also thinking if it would be better for my body type, if I´d colour it. I guess I like the natural vibe, but having so many (natural) highlights may look too buzy for a DC, maybe?

you sound similar to me! I would avoid using conventional dyes. I like to even out lightened and brassy hair by using a colouring conditioner in a cool brown diluted with regular condition (customize to suit the shade you're aiming for) when with our hair type even dying with regukar dye or toner the perioxide effects stay after the darker pigment washes out you are left again with brass❤

Literally SAME^^^

Same! My hair does not want to be dramatic classic.

One-lengh, somewhat blunt cut, long curly hair looks sooo classy and ethereal at the same time! (Sigh of slight envy)

Hi there, first of all, I wish you the best for your recovery and health. To answer your question: If you got Gamine essence, don't worry too much about having a pixie cut since the essence mainly shows in the face and facial expression and body language, it will help a lot. Despite your essence though: if you wanna keep it more elegant and sleek, you can easily use hats, headscarfs and beanies for the beginning (before your hair looks like an actual hairstyle that you CAN manipulate and style a specific way) if you like. Aly has a video with recommendations for hats for the body types already. And I find the recommendations and examples shown VERY spot on. Since DC and G types both need crisp and structured pieces, none of the recommendations for DC would interefere with your essence at all. You can try to use gel or hairspray to style your hair out of the face (rather sleek), get regular trims in the nape area to avoid too much of a jagged outline and too many layers. I personally am growing out a pixie atm and I try to keep my bangs pushed to one side (out of the face looks too voluminous for my liking, at least atm with the current length) and my scalp doesn't tolerate many types of styling products, so I just go through this and keep in mind it's just a short period of time in which I don't look the way I want to look like. As soon as you can easily style your hair back and have a bit of length around your jaw (a bit lower than the jaw itself), you'll see how it starts to look more and more harmonious imho. Keep the outline of the haircut rather blunt, and you should be good. There will be lengths that won't be looking very nice and you'll probably feel like nothing really works, but if you just push through, that time will pass on its own anyways and after that you'll be happy you're done. Even if you have to keep that pixie cut for longer than you think, it's still only temporary. You CAN look up photos of Grace Kelly with short hair or even use Audrey Hepburn as a muse because despite being FG she always had a very classy style and her hair most of the time was very neatly styled and I think for some DCs (especially those with G essence) her hairstyle would work very well too. Also keeping any haircut rather traditional (not too punky, edgy or textured) would be best in any phase of the growing out process. I hope that helps somehow.

@@JuliaKirsty OMG 😱 thank you so much!!!! This helps and encourages me so much! I'll keep a screenshot of this for moments when I don't feel confident. You are a beautiful soul, thank you again! I hope you have an amazing life 💛

FN?

Wild Hair only suits Naturals..

I too thought I was a DC for months until I saw this video, went to the hairdresser to get a „sleek/sculpted“ haircut only to realise that I actually look the best in my naturally wavy a bit untamed hair. Turns out I am a soft natural (at least that’s what I think I am now).

Straighten it.... Good shampoo and conditioner. Kerastase nutri thermique balm

Diane Keaton is for sure a dramatic classic she's so Yang Michelle Pfeiffer not to sure but Ive seen her labelled as other than dc

Just because you look like someone doesn’t mean your their body type.

See, that's personal taste and it's totally alright to prefer the opposite of what's recommended for any ID. I myself like edgy looks and that's basically literally the opposite of what's recommended in ANY system (in terms of color, shape, silhouette etc.) but that doesn't mean that the recommendations are "wrong" or "bad", they just don't hit the nail on the head for us all the time. If you prefer slightly edgy or just "different" looks, you can also easily use the recommendations for your ID and do something that is NOT recommended to achieve the look you're going for. Learning the rules in order to know how to break them to achieve the exact result/image you want. That can also be a fun way to use Kibbe's system imho. I don't think, personal taste should be neglected just to meet up with all the recommendations. If you know what you want, I see no problem in going for exactly that.
