Five Simple Resolutions for Great Hair in 2010

Hello, lovies,

This year, my New Year’s resolutions are simple – take time to relax, stay physically active, and eat a nutritious diet. It’s amazing how small changes in your lifestyle can lead to big changes in your health. The same goes for your hair. A simple routine for hair care is a small investment with a big pay back.

The good news is it’s easy to follow a simple hair regimen that helps you feel sexy and confident. As the New Year gets into full swing, consider adding these five simple resolutions to your list:

• Invest in maintenance to keep your hair in good shape. That means getting a trim every three to six weeks, even if you’re growing out your locks.
• Consult with your hair dresser to buy hair products that are right for your hair type.

• For colored hair, use a shampoo and conditioner formulated to protect your color and keep it looking vibrant.
• For curly hair, ask about products to accentuate those lovely curls and ringlets.
• For dry hair, try out a deep conditioning treatment like Bumble and Bumble Deeep.

• Spoil your hair. Put 15 minutes aside every day to refresh and revitalize your hair. For straight hair, use a blow dryer to coax your hair into shape or a curling iron to smooth the cuticle. For curls, spray a little water here and there and scrunch with your fingers. Bumble and Bumble’s Prep is a great product for quick touch ups.

• Reap the benefits of a healthy, well-balanced diet. You are what you eat, and your hair and nails need good nutrition to stay strong and shiny. If you’re on the go without time to eat right or under stress, ask your doctor about taking a multi-vitamin.
• Stick to a routine. Wash your hair every other day. On alternate days, rinse it out in the shower, then condition and comb it out.

Lovies, remember it takes 30 days to establish a new habit. Put this list on a bulletin board as a reminder.
