Springtime Changes...

Looking for a change in your look, but dont want anything drastic??  Well have no fear, I am armed with the latest spring trends and can give you pieces of said trends to create a dramatically different look, with small changes to your actual hair.

The first thing is actually something you can try at home!  Yes, you don't even need me for this change!  Switch your part from one side to the other.  You will be amazed what a different look this can give your style.   **Have a cowlick or another growth pattern in the front, try flatwrapping your bangs.  Take a flat brush and following it with your hairdrier, blow your bangs back and forth from one side to the other.  This will calm any crazy bangs down and give you a perfect swoop.

Next, there are many little tweaks you can change within a haircut to give you a different look...

Got layers?  Whether you have them now or not, layers are a great way to update the look you have now!  Try a piecey, textured layer that will really sass up your look!  This is a really versatile option...you can blow it sleek and smooth for the office, then throw a little texture paste in your 'do after work and really bring those layers to life for the evening!  Whether your hair is halfway down your back, or up to your chin, layers are a great way to update your look for spring!

Bangs, bangs, bangs!  This is the biggest, bang-for-your-buck, change you can make to any style.  Adding a new fringe, can really spruce up your style and give you that fresh look without making a major change.  There are so many options, check out my post from Nov 28th on guidelines for choosing the right bang for your face shape and style!

Want to keep the same cut, but bored with your color??  Color is a great way to create some subtle dimension to your look and give it a brighter look for spring.

Highlights are probably the most common option, and you can do them right around the face, or space them sparingly throughout your entire head to give that sunkissed look.

Also a balayage technique is a great option, giving you a softer, more tone on tone look than highlights will. This technique will have your stylist free hand painting the color on your hair, creating a very suble yet stunning look.

**Consult with your stylist (or come see me at Belleza!!) to decide which technique and color will best suit your style and tones.
