and a new shoe! (There is no such thing as too many shoes, right?)So to continue the makeover theme, today's post is all about updating your look. Of course buying tons of clothes, shoes and bags is the first thing that comes to mind when you think about a makeover...but what about the hair? Did you know that the easiest way to change your look is by changing your do? During my research I bumped into these great tips from Brenda Berry of Brilli Salon in Chicago:
The Cut: By changing your style, cut or color you can really look like a completely different person. Adding bangs are the easiest way to update your look, without losing any length. Pick a style of bang that is suited to your face shape. For instance, if you have a round face and small forehead, you should go with side swept bangs. Those that have a more oval or heart-shaped face, should go with
a heavier bang to bring out eyes. Remember, the most dramatic the bang, the more you will have to get them trimmed.New part!: Another easy way to change up your do is to change your part. It may seem trivial but it really makes a difference! If you always wear your hair parted on the same side or down the middle, you can really see a difference by altering the placement of your part. The other great thing is that it will create instant volume at the root. Parting your hair on the opposite side that it's accustomed to will create great lift… no product needed!
Bring the light: If you want to brighten up your look, go for soft highlights. Soft highlights instantly brighten up your face and if you only get two or three on each side, they are relatively inexpensive.
Layer, layer, layer: If you have medium to long hair, adding a few long layers will create more movement and fullness. It will also help with frizz and flyways too. Cutting layers will help eliminate dryness as well as cut frizz because you are cutting the dead ends off before they start splitting at the hair shaft.Accessories are everything: Finally, add a headband or another hair accessory. Headbands are really trendy right now and come in a variety of sizes and styles to complement all personalities and face shapes. If headbands aren't your thing, try a pin or barrette. They can instantly dress up your do and make it look great without having to spend a ton of time or money on making your hair look good.
Give them a try and look completely new for the 4th of July!... I have to go now, the World Cup games have started again and I don't want to miss a second.
