10 Sexiest Spring Haircuts For Women

Need a fresh new look this spring? Here's what's in this season:

1. Heavy Side Bangs - a short layered bob with long bangs is definitely in. Think Cameron Diaz.

2. Soft Pixie - A short pixie with lots of textured layers, which keep it from looking flat and prevent it from growing out awkwardly.

3. Sleek Bob and Full Bangs - A clean, face-framing bob with heavy bangs. This is for someone who wants an elegant cut with a little edge. The blunt bangs are the most important part, but keeping a little length to ensures the style stays manageable.

4. Long Pixie - A pixie cut with long layers and sweeping bangs. Running a small amount of styling wax through the ends of your fringe will give the different lengths movement.

5. Long Bob and Side Bangs - A textured, collarbone-length bob with soft fringe. Getting clean edges, and using the points of the eyebrows as a guide when cutting the bangs is key.

6. Angled Layers - Long bangs with choppy layers. You want a style that is past your shoulders with soft edges and keep your hair texture in mind -- if your hair is fine and thin, don't opt for the layers to be razored, but if your hair is thick, go for a more thinned out method.

7. A-Line Bob - A sleek A-line bob that's dramatically angled in the front. A deep side part can accentuate the cut's subtle asymmetry.

8. Choppy Layers - A long bob that hits just below the collarbone, cut with layers in varied lengths. Think Jennifer Aniston.

9. Long, Loose Layers - Loose, all-over layers with side-skimming bangs. Shorter layers create volume for thinner hair, while the long length showcases the natural texture of thicker strands.

10. Long Layers and Airy Bangs - Go for eyebrow-skimming bangs, with angled, below-the-chin layers that blend into the rest of your strands.

Is Brown Hair Color Right for You?

If at least two of the following apply to you, you are probably best brunette:

You're mousy brown now. Your natural color lacks the vibrancy of richer browns and virtually begs to be deepened.  

You want a low-maintenance regimen. Unless you are naturally very blonde, the upkeep for brown hair is fairly easy — and at-home coloring is close to goof-proof, says Julia Youssef, executive director of L'Oréal Paris's Hair Color Technical Center and Product Evaluation.  

Your hair is damaged and dull. Dark hair color reflects light best, hides breakage, and minimizes the flaws of abused tresses.

How to be the best brunette:

1. Match your brown to your haircut. To maximize the impact of your chocolaty color, go deeper and monotone if your hair is nearly all one length. If it's shorter or very layered, make the ends slightly lighter, and weave in high- and lowlights to emphasize the texture of the cut, says Marie Robinson, a colorist at the Sally Hershberger Salon in New York City (clients include Natalie Portman).

2. Go to the extreme. The most striking brunettes today are very dark or quite light, says Robinson. If your hair color is medium in tone, you blend — in a bad way.

3. Coloring at home? Go half-and-half. One of the most common at-home haircoloring errors, according to Robinson, is a brown that's gone orangey, often the result of applying a dye that's too "warm." If it's golden brown you're after, says Robinson, buy one box of golden brown and one box of neutral brown. Mix the two, then use the combo on your hair.

4. Steer clear of hairspray, if possible. Nothing takes the sheen off shiny brunette strands faster than dousing them with hairspray, says Robinson. If you must shellac, follow with a spritz of shine serum.

5. Beware of black. If you want to deepen your brown to anything beyond dark chocolate, visit a professional, says Youssef. Once you go blue-black, there's almost no going back. The only way to lighten up is with a pricey salon procedure that involves lots of damage — to your hair and wallet.

Makeup tips for brunettes:
1. Pile on the mascara and make it black. You need dark fringe to balance your dark strands, says Paula Dorf, a celebrity makeup artist.

2. Play with jewel tones on your eyes. Brunettes can get away with dramatic eyes.

3. If your dark hair makes your complexion appear too pasty, shimmery bronzer is your ticket, says Ross Burton, Lancôme's national artistic director.

-Oscar Blandi Crema Soothing Hair Balm
-Aveda Black Malva Color Conditioner

Is It Time for a New Hairstyle?

Think it might be time to update your look? The fastest way to make a change is to cut your hair. But is now the right time for you? Here are a few clues that it's time for an updated look:

• You've had the same style for so long it's become popular, again.
• You pull your hair back. Everyday. It's just easier.
• Styling your hair is depressing.
• You can describe your color with words like mousey, dull, and lifeless.
• No one compliments your hairstyle, ever.
• You find yourself lusting over other people's hairstyles.
• Your self esteem could use a pick-me-up.
• You've just experienced a major life changing event (i.e. new job, weight loss, new school, new town, new year, major goals reached).
• You've recently experienced a hard time in life. A new look may be a great way to start to turn things around

You all know who you are. Trying a new look can be fun and breed new confidence into your life. So don't be shy and remember, it's just hair - it will grow back anyway! :)
