Five signs that your 'do needs a re-do

Sep 15, 2008 by FN's Sheiden C. dela Cruz

10_signs_hair_make_over.edi.jpgAs Heidi Klum puts it, “In fashion, one day you’re in, and the next day, you’re out.” Just like fashion, a person’s hairstyle should also keep up with the current trends. What worked for you before may not exactly look good at present. Unfortunately, some women find it hard to part with the comfort their old hairstyle lends.

 

However, their tresses often succumb to bad hair days when not maintained. MarieClaire.com names ten signs that you are in need of a hair makeover. Here are five of them:

1. Your high school friends assure you that "you haven't changed a bit!"
It’s about time you get a “new look.” Start by collecting images of hairstyles you'd consider. Look at them weekly until you can picture living with one of them, then schedule an appointment.

2. You're not receiving compliments on your hair anymore.
One simple tweak that’s sure to get attention is setting your strands in hot rollers, suggests Federico Calce of Federico Salon in New York City. "Of all the heat-styling tools, they produce the softest, sexiest waves," he says.

3. Your clothes have evolved; your hair hasn't.
According to Sam Brocato of the hair-care company Brocato America altering your clothing style is the perfect excuse to update your 'do. This way, your new look will work from head to toe—literally. For example, if you've recently lost weight and are finally sporting all those figure-hugging clothes you never thought to wear before, you might want to get a sleeker, more face-flattering coif.

4. You pull your hair into a ponytail all the time.
Mark Garrison of the eponymous New York City salon suggests adding bangs or layers to give your locks some shape, allowing you to wear them down.

5. You spend more than 20 minutes styling your hair.
If it takes this long, your cut is clearly not making the most of your texture. A fast fix: get your stylist to create 'dos that work with your curls (like long layers) or that boost your lank locks (like a blunt bob).

Care to toss in your hair thoughts?
