When was the last time you updated your hair?
When was the last time you changed your hair style?
When was the last time you changed your hair color?
If your answer wasn't "recently" or "with in the last 6 months" then you are way behind!
Hair is our greatest accessory. It can make us look older than we really are, or younger.
It is good to update your hair style every 6 month or so to keep it healthy, fresh,
and most of all, to boost your self image!
Whether you know it or not, a large part of our self image is wrapped up in our tresses.
As a style maven, I try to change my hair style every 6 months. This is a good rule of thumb because you have summer hair and winter hair. Just as your wardrobe changes, so should your hair.
For something easy, try a different hair cut. Don't be afraid, hair always grows back!
Try layers, bangs, fringe. Cut off a few inches...or even add a few with extensions!
Have fun with it, you can always go back to your boring old style.
Let's talk OMBRE!
BLONDES:
As a blonde, it is easy for me to have a summer and a winter hair style.
In summer, blonde hair is a lot lighter and brighter from days at the pool and being outdoors.
In fall/winter, blonde hair is a bit more golden in tone with darker roots.
I love ombre hair. From darker roots to lighter ends, it's fun, flirty, modern, and easy to maintain.

BRUNETTES:
For the brunettes out there who think it's harder to change your hair color, let me tell you that you are wrong! Brown hair can be changed just like blonde hair can. The ombre color technique works equally as well on brunettes as it does blondes. Instead of using blonde, you would have your stylist use honey tones. Any hairstylist worth a damn will know what
tones are best for your hair and skin tone.

My recommendation is to ALWAYS have a professional do your hair. We all think that we can do these color techniques ourselves, and maybe you can, but you can very easily damage your hair. So, always stick with a professional. Just like you wouldn't want someone else doing your job, let the hairstylist's do theirs!
Here are some great examples of new, fresh, and fun ombre hair styles. Let them inspire you! Remember: it's only hair, if you don't like what you changed it to, you can keep changing it until you love it!

| Dark brown to honey ombre |

| Chocolate brown to auburn red tinted ombre |

| Chocolate brown to bright red ombre |
 |
| Beachy, golden blonde ombre |
 |
| Platinum blonde to sky blue ombre |
 |
| Golden dirty blonde to hot pink ombre |
 |
| Golden to hot pink ombre |
 |
| Platinum blonde to light and hot pink |
For the colored ombre, try a temporary hair stain. It'll was out in a few days and you won't have to be committed to pink, purple, blue, etc.
I do hot pink in my hair when I'm feeling fun and funky:

With all these options, and of course millions more, you too can have fun with your hair!
Don't be so worried about changing it, you can always change it again!
