I just had my hair cut into a short bob with the back shorter than the front. When I had it cut the stylist did something to make the back stick out and stand up, and I can’t seem to pull this off at home! I love this new cut, but I’d really love to have the spiky, rockstar look from the first day again!

Hi,
I have been thinking about going brunette for quite sometime. I am just concerned about looking washed out. I have pale skin (with pink undertones), Dark blue eyes and naturally Medium blonde hair. What shade would look the best on me?
Thanks, Erin
Erin:
Best thing is to bring a copy of our magazine to your local salon/colorist, show them a few of the ideas/photos and get their opinion.
Good luck!
Hair SOS,
I was a natural ash/golden blonde for the longest time, then dyed my hair using Clairol’s Natural Light Auburn,the red that came out was pretty, but now I miss my natural hair color. I have read so so many different ideas as to how to dye red/auburn hair back to blonde..but all seem very risky and damaging, HELP PLEASE!

You probably want to visit your local beauty pro at this point…good luck!

Hi Lisa:
Short can be cute; but you may, if your hair bothers you, consider a nice wig. Our November issue, on sale now, features a story about the newer looks available. Maybe be a good solution until your hair grows out!
I have thin hair, but i have a LOT of hair. I am competing in a pageant soon and would like to know what the best kind of rollers are that I can wear for a few hours before I get my hair professionally done. My main concern is volume as they will be curling my hair for me. I have used hot rollers before but they do not stay in my fine hair even when I secure them with multiple pins,clips,etc. Also, I find that hot rollers do leave my hair some what volumized but even with hair spray my hair does fall.
I have dark brown hair. i have had a bob and long hair. i hate bangs. I an not aloud to go shorter then a bob. i have also had my hair bright red,blonde, and light brown do you have any color and cut ideas?
