What is a common aftercare recommendation following a fresh haircut?

Use heat styling tools immediately
Avoid washing hair for a week
Avoiding heat styling tools for the first 48 hours
Style hair with gel within the first hour

The correct answer is: Avoiding heat styling tools for the first 48 hours

Following a fresh haircut, avoiding heat styling tools for the first 48 hours is a common aftercare recommendation. This practice allows the hair to settle into its new shape and gives it time to adjust after being cut. Heat styling tools can potentially disturb the cut ends or create excess stress on the hair, leading to potential damage or changes in the texture that may not be desired right after a haircut. Allowing the hair to rest supports both the stylist's work and the overall hair health. During this time, it's ideal to embrace air drying or natural styles that do not require the immediate use of heat. This approach helps maintain the fresh appearance of the haircut while promoting better long-term hair condition.
