It’s the second week of the New Year and many people have already abandoned their New Year’s resolutions! Get re-motivated with a new Do! A fresh cut, a new style or a fabulous color will help you get back on track.

How?

Just like you found a personal trainer for the gym seek out a pro! It’s one thing to try the latest ponytail trend but please, please, please seek out a professional for a new cut or hair color! Any professionally licensed hair stylist can tell you how costly it is for a client to repair a home color gone wrong.

One poor choice of that $10 drug store color can cost you upwards of $350 and several visits to the salon to get you back to a “natural” shade instead of that unusual orange you ended up with!

Your salon pro can make a more accurate diagnosis of what your natural level and tone of your hair is and put you into that gorgeous new shade of red, blonde or brunette with out damaging your locks.

And how about that cut?

If you were under the tents at Bryant Park or an avid reader of WWD, the latest looks from the runway for 2010 are all about texture, glamour and VOLUME, VOLUME, VOLUME! Inspiration came from places like '20s glam to '80s punk rock and the timeless classics of Vidal Sassoon. Get out of your rut. There are lots of options for the new decade!

Razor cuts are a great way to refresh a look, remove bulky weight and create lots of volume in your do. And get out that curling iron for sexy curls and waves like Eva Mendes for her NYC premier of Sherlock Holmes.

Tip: To blend out grey or grown out highlights use a mascara (usually $5-10 at the drug store) in the color of your choice and brush on the regrowth area. This will hold you over until you can get to your stylist for a touch up. No worries if it’s the wrong shade it shampoos right out!
