If your blond highlights turn a "not so lovely" shade of orangish yellow, you're not alone. It's a common problem with blond hair and it can be ultra annoying for anyone trying to keep your hair "Girls Next Door Blond". The solution is so very simple: try a purple shampoo or conditioner! The purple tones in these products will tone out that yellow color and, over a few treatments, will return your blond to the beautiful shade you left the salon with! My favorite is the Color Brite Shampoo by Thermafuse, which is quickly becoming my favorite new product line on the market.

I just love when a reader sends me photos of her haircut. Not only do I get to see some great haircuts and styles on real women, but hearing how much a woman loves a new look is just fun! Wendy writes: "This is my photo submission of a haircut I recently got that is somewhat Rhianna/Victoria Beckham inspired. I happen to love this haircut because I went right from shoulder length hair to this, and although it was a big change it didn't take long to get used to!"

I just LOVE this cut on Wendy! It really brings out her pretty face and beautiful eyes. Thank you for submitting, Wendy!

Hair dryers are a funny thing. We all use them. We all want them to work fast, keep our hair soft, shiny, and frizz free. And, we want them to last a lifetime and cost next to nothing. Right?

Well ladies, I'm here to tell you that some of the best hair dryers on the market can be incredibly budget friendly! The majority of the hair dryers I recommend to my clients everyday can be purchased for $25.00 to under $200.00. When you consider that we expect these tools to last several years, and give us beautiful hair days, well, the investment is rather minimal. Check out my favorite hair dryers before your next purchase!
