Now that we’ve rung in the new year, it is time to update your look to reflect your new style!  This does not necessarily mean that you do a complete overhaul, which can be fun; subtle changes go a long way as well.  Whether you want a complete makeover or just a small change, here are some suggestions:

Color: Brighten it up!  With Spring and Summer just around the corner, lightening your hair will freshen up your skin and give you a youthful look.  You can achieve this by a few subtle highlights or become a total bombshell, like Heidi Klum.

Cut: Get out of your rut! Cut off all the length that is weighing you down–think January Jones.  If you’re not ready for that commitment, try side-swept bangs or layers around your face–these are more conservative ways to change your cut.

Styling: Get a curling iron!  Stick straight hair is played out.  Add soft body to your hair with a large-barrel curling iron.

You can update your look depending on how daring you are and your level of commitment.  My recommendation is to start out slow, and then re-assess–you might surprise yourself with how daring you’ll be.
