  1. Myndi says:

    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!

  2. Nicole says:

    Hi, Could someone tell me the hairstyle of Alexis Bellino hair bob from last year please.

  3. beverly says:

    I’m moving from NY to Georgia and I want to cut my hair short before the summer, a short cut that’s quick to style and dramatic. if someone could help me pick a style.

    Thanks, 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!

  8. Monica says:

    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!

    • Bonnie L. Krueger, Editor-in-Chief says:

      Hi Monica:

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

  11. alex says:

    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.

  12. lexxus says:
