How to Get Your Hair to Cooperate [SLIDESHOW]

If my hair were my boyfriend, it would leave me. My incessant whining about its short-comings and trying to make it be something it's not would definitely lead to a breakup -- or at least to many sessions with a therapist.

All it takes is a little know-how -- and sometimes a product or tool tweak -- to kiss your hair anxiety and issues good-bye.

If only all relationship fixes were this easy.
