Down, loose tendrils are nice and all, but if you want to turn up the glam on the classic Hollywood style, add an eye-catching accessory. This is also a great cheat if you have long bangs that you want to pin back for an evening, or if your roots are slightly greasy. All you have to do is spray a paddle brush with hairspray and comb back the front into a sweet, slightly offset pouf. Slip in a jeweled barrette like Dominique Duval Bijoux Crystal Barrettein, $55 and you're good to go.
Alright, so not everyone wants a complete beauty overhaul. Just because the clock struck midnight on New Year's Eve allotting 365 new days, and therefore more time to "save" ourselves from previous mistakes, doesn't mean you have to chop all your hair off and bleach it blonde to get a new lease on life. It is possible to create totally new hairstyles without a cut and color transformation. Bottom line: This doesn't have to be the glass-slipper-pumpkin-driving-you-to-the-future-of-your-dreams type of New Year scenario, OK? There are small, quick ways you can update and slightly alter your look for a fresh start.
"New Year, New You" only really means it's a new year and a new you can feel empowered to mix old things up. With small tweaks, embellishments and ingenuity, you can turn the hairstyle you currently have into a hairstyle you might not have known about or thought was possible -- it's true. To prove it we went to celebrity hairstylist Johnny Lavoy, artistic director and owner of Moda-Rey Salon & Spa. He shared easy ways to update your hair, no scissors necessary.
