Disguise a Bad Haircut

Bangs too short? Go even shorter, says David Daines, a hairstylist at Gil Ferrer Salon, in New York City. Snip bangs into pixie-like spikes and use gel to accentuate the pointy look.

Does your short style give you the shivers? Apply pomade or extra-strength gel to wet hair and blow-dry from beneath to add volume. "Tousle your hair with your fingers to change the profile of the cut," says Daines.

If that classic bob makes you look like a blockhead, get out your hot rollers or curling iron. "Put some motion into the style," says Mark Garrison, owner of Mark Garrison Salon, in New York City. Curl hair under, then finger-comb for a lively, curlier look.



Choosing a Hair color

The number one rule for finding the most flattering hair color is to choose a color that compliments your natural hair and skin colors. Be realistic, you won't want to choose one of the black shades if your skin is very fair, or, if your natural hair is very dark and your complexion dark or olive, Marilyn Monroe blond probably isn't for you. In addition, if you have never colored you hair before you will find that the hair color samples are rarely an accurate depiction of the actual color. Most women find that choosing a color that is a shade lighter than that of the sample will give best results. Experiement and have fun with it.


The No-Surgery Eyelift

Eyes by Thermage is the only procedure that smoothes and tightens skin and decreases wrinkles and hooding in the eye area without surgery, injections or downtime. You'll have younger looking, more lifted eyes that look less tired. Plus, the smoother skin of your eyelids will make it easier to apply eye shadow and eyeliner.

The Thermage procedure only takes about 1 hour. And because there is no bruising, swelling or sutures, you can apply make-up and return to your normal routine after the procedure.

• Tighter, smoother skin all around.
• Skin is smoother and younger looking with reduced crepiness.
• Reduces hooding. The brow area is tightened to reveal more eyelid for brighter, more refreshed eyes.
• Tauter contours around the eye.
• Reduces under-eye bags.
• Softens fine lines and crow's feet.
• Delivers excellent results other treatments can't offer.



Do-it-Yourself Supermodel Hairstyle

Three quick and simple steps to a fashion model look. Spritz sections of hair with styling spary and heat style with a medium curling iron. Roll heat styled sections in Velcro rollers and leave the rollers in while applying makeup and getting dressed. The Velcro rollers reinforce the curl and add softness.

Prepair Your Hair for Color Treatment

Because hair ends have endured more exposure to the elements, shampooing, chemicals and heat styling than the hair at the scalp, it is drier and more porous and tends to absorb more hair color. It is very important that you begin conditioning hair, especially the ends, a month before applying hair color. Start with a deep conditioner then condition with every shampoo. This will ensure more even color and prevent damage by hair color chemicals.
