Hairstyle Habit: The Usual Hair Color
Break It By: Opting for Something New!
If you always color your hair the same tone, try a different one. It doesn't have to be crazy opposite, just a shade or two darker or lighter than your usual can give you a subtle refresh that revitalizes your look without a drastic change. If you want something a little punchier, give highlights a try. Put them around your face for a flattering touch, or add random, colorful sections through different areas of your locks for something different.

Ask your hairstylist for a haircut that will work with your hair type, inject some movement into your locks and make it easy to style your hair. Once you've got a cut like that, you'll wonder how you ever got by on just trims alone!
