Fifteen years ago, it was "The Rachel." Twenty years before that, it was "The Farrah." And those are only two examples of iconic hairstyles that have graced thousands of heads over the last hundred years. But can there be another? With today's trend toward individualism, colorists, stylists and Professionals say it isn't likely.
They say No More “Rachels” “In the past, you could always go, ‘that’s the trend.’ Or you go, ‘no, it’s the wrong color.’ Now today, the trends are always customizable. You’ll never see them in their purity. Kids don’t want their MySpace pages to look the same, they don’t want their cars to look the same, they don’t want their phones to look the same. So why do we think they’re all going to walk in with a picture of Rachel’s haircut? It’s never going to happen again, because culturally they never participated in it. We did. So that’s the thing that’s really cool about right now.” ~ Modern Salon

Let's face it- we've all experimented with box colors and over-the-counter hair dye. More than likely, it didn't turn out as you'd expect...in fact, it was probably more of a mess than before you colored it!
As we approach Spring (and hopefully a warm Summer!), many men and women choose to update their haircolor to relect the season. Brunettes get warm, caramel highlights, blondes go from dirty to platinum, and red heads become a little more fiery than before thanks to updated strands.

Tips on how to blow dry you hair:
Blow by Blow...
As said in magazine article:
We fantasize about haivng the agility of a Cirque de Soleil gymnast--not in the bedroom, but in the bathroom with the blow-dryer. Fortunately, stylists say that it doesn't take contortions to look smooth. "You just can't cut corners," Guido says. With the right tools, styling products, and the technique that follows, your hair will look as if you came straight from the salon.
Shampoo and condition by hair type and texture. For oily or fine hair, condition only the ends. Squeeze out excess moisture with a towel. Spritz the roots of fine hair with a volumizer; for curly hair rub on a blob of styling balm; and on thick, frizzy hair apply a silicone serum. Smooth with a wide-tooth comb.

Myth No. 1: Cutting Hair Makes It Grow Faster and/or Thicker
False. Shorter hair often looks and feels thicker but cutting your hair won’t alter its normal biologically determined growth rate or overall texture. Thin, limp or fine hair will not ever grow thicker in response to a haircut. Plump up your hair by using volume enhancing hair care products, experimenting with a hair fattening blunt cut or getting a texturizing perm or color treatment.
Myth No. 2: Split Ends Can Be Repaired Without Trimming
False. The only successful treatment for removing split ends is with a scissors. While some hair care products may temporarily merge split ends together, this fix only lasts until your next shampoo. Keep in mind that damaged ends tends to grow slower than healthy, well-maintained, trimmed hair.

When something goes wrong, there's always a fix, though granted it's not always a quick and easy one. The worst disaster of all, of course, is the terrible cut that you think has to be grown out.
Whatever the situation, pros agree than anyone can improve her hair, if she gets control over several factors. Once special aside here, if excessive hair loss is your problem, you'll have to explore with a dermatologist, hormonal changes, diet and medications, which can trigger hair loss. Studies show that women who think their hair looks good feel more confident and in fact, succeed more because they behave with confidence. With this in mind, here are the best ways to fix the most common and vexing hair problems that we all experience at one time or another.
The Botched Perm
There are two times when a home perm messes up locks. The first is when it doesn't take at all. Usually, this is from incorrect processing. Wait a few days, then go to a professional and get a hair analysis before getting a re-perm. Rod size, size of partings and the product used all play a part in getting the perfect perm.
