Generally, it's best to avoid going to the barber with product in your hair.
Here's why:
-
Cleanliness and Barber Preference: While some barbers might wash your hair before the cut, relying on this isn't ideal. Product buildup can make it harder for the barber to work with your hair, especially if the product is heavy or sticky. It's generally considered more courteous to arrive with relatively clean hair.
-
Cutting Accuracy: Product can alter the natural fall and texture of your hair. This can make it difficult for the barber to accurately assess and cut your hair to your desired style. A cleaner, more natural state allows for a more precise cut.
-
Potential Issues: Excessive product might clog the barber's clippers or scissors, and no barber wants that!
So, while a small amount of light product might not be a major issue, it's best practice to arrive with relatively clean, product-free hair for the best possible haircut experience.
