Actors: Before Your Headshot Day: Don't try new things!!!

Don't try something you haven't done before. Once, an actor decided the morning of the headshot session to try a leave in conditioner for the first time. It didn't end well, with her worrying the whole time because her hair wound up looking slightly greasy in the pictures because of it. This was an unfortunate situation, but something that you do have to look out for sometimes.

Many actors try to overdo it before their session and it doesn't turn out well because they are either worried the whole time about something that they did and their worriedness shows in their pictures, or they actually DID do something to themselves that they shouldn't have and you notice it later in the images.

Don't try new things! Stick to what you are familiar with, because remember: you have spent your whole life doing what you do to make yourself look good. Many years of perfecting your look has to be better than trying a new random thing with no experimentation the day of the shoot, right? And if you really do want to try something new, hire a professional to do it.
