Let’s be honest, when your hair feels amazing, you feel amazing. And that kind of confidence shows up in your photos.


So if you want that effortlessly polished, camera-ready hair look for your senior session, I’ve got you covered. These six simple prep steps will help you show up looking (and feeling) your absolute best.

 

1. Get a Fresh Trim ✂️


Schedule a trim about a week before your session to say goodbye to dry, split ends and give your hair a clean, healthy base.


If you’re thinking about switching it up, soft layers photograph beautifully, they add just the right amount of movement and shape without anything too dramatic right before the shoot.


2. Touch Up Those Roots 🎨


If you color your hair, the week before your session is prime time to refresh your roots or brighten up your highlights.


You want everything looking cohesive and fresh, not halfway grown out. This tiny touch makes a huge difference in how your hair photographs.


3. Hydrate Those Tresses 💧


If your hair is feeling dry, frizzy, or a little worn out, this is your sign to book a deep conditioning treatment.


A professional hydrating mask can restore that smooth, glossy shine and help your hair bounce back just in time for your photos. Trust, your future self will thank you.


4. Blow It Out 💨


A salon blowout the day before your session gives you volume, smoothness, and longevity without overdoing it on the heat tools.


This makes your hair way more manageable and style-ready the day of your session (and helps fight frizz if you're shooting outdoors).


5. Avoid Hot Tools 🔥


After that blowout, hands off the curling wand and straightener! Using too much heat can make your hair harder to work with during your session.


Let our pro stylist work their magic on session day, it’ll hold better and style more easily when your hair hasn’t been overworked at home.


6. Wash It the Day Before 🧴


The sweet spot? Clean, but not too clean.

Hair that’s one day post-wash has just enough natural oils to help curls or waves hold better, without looking greasy or limp.


Our stylists love working with that “just right” hair texture, and it makes a big difference in the final look.
