[영어 회화] 머리상태, 미용실 영어로 표현하기

 

미용실에 가면 어떤 머리를 할지 상담하고 결정할 때, 현재 내 머리상태에 대한 설명을 해야합니다. 같은 펌을 해도 직모이면 컬이 금방 풀리고 곱슬인 경우 머리가 더 부스스하게 될 수 있기 때문이죠. 평소에 친구들이랑 수다를 떨 때도 '나는 머리가 곱슬이라 비가오면 머리가 부스스해'와 같이 머리 관련 표현을 자주 하곤 합니다. 그래서 현재 내 머리 상태, 모질을 영어로 어떻게 말하는지, 그리고 미용실에서 머리를 했을 때 사용할 수 있는 영어 표현을 정리해보았습니다. 자신의 머리에 대해 말하는 연습을 해뒀다가 꼭 실전 회화에서 활용해보세요!
