It's Your Turn

Quick Tip

This style used to be called a "bowl cut". If I remember correctly, it never looked this good.

*Is This The Right Color?

If you are looking to change your hair color, be sure to take magazine photo clippings of a model that might be wearing that particular shade. What is golden blonde to you, might be something completely different to a stylist.

*An Old Trick

I can remember my Mom using this and I have been using it ever since. all you have to do is mix 1/4 cup vinegar (cider for dark hair and white for light) with 1/2 cup of water...(or there abouts.)
Rinse your hair after a shampoo to remove any buildup and give it shine. I use this vinegar trick about half the time and a good conditioner, the other half.

*How Often Should You Shampoo?

I wouldn't recommend every day unless your hair is extremely oily. A good rule of thumb to follow is when it begins to look oily, or your style is looking a little worse for wear. Actually, the oil on your hair is actually healthy.

If you wash your hair every day, it is even more important to replace the oils you are sudsing away by treating your hair to a good conditioner. If your hair tends to get oily quickly, use the conditioner only on the ends and keep it away from the scalp.
