We’ve all been there… staring in the mirror at a bad haircut. It’s frustrating and scary.

That’s why I’ve brought in Nicole, our lead hairstylist at the Dressing Your Truth Salon. She’s here to save the day with her perfect tips, so you know what to do with a bad haircut.

How to Fix a Bad Haircut At the Salon

Stylists want you to leave happy. You feel that pressure, so you might not speak up when your haircut is too short. After all, there’s no way they can make it longer, right?

Give your stylist a chance to help. Watch the video to hear exactly what you can say that any stylist will respond to.

How to Fix a Bad Haircut At Home

You can fix a bad haircut without going back to the salon. Before you do anything, though, take a deep breath and give your new haircut a chance.

Maybe this haircut is so different from what you expected that you haven’t considered that this new look might be incredible on you. Get feedback from others you trust and try it out. If it really is as bad as you thought, there are lots of things you can do.

Watch the video for Nicole’s great tips, plus, 4 ways to prevent a bad haircut in the future:

Nicole and I both know that how you feel about your appearance has such a huge effect on empowerment and self-esteem. We want you to love your hair!

Like we said in the video, an online hairstyle consultation with our world-class stylists is a great resource to help you survive a bad haircut (and prevent it from happening in the first place!). You can schedule one today.

Remember: You need to be a Dressing Your Truth Club Member for a haircut consultation. Being a Club Member means that you’ll be familiar with our stylists’ approach, so you get the most out of your consultation.  If you’re not a member yet, it’s easy to start.

Let’s face it. Women everywhere want to look younger.

And at Dressing Your Truth, we’re always excited to share makeovers that show our members looking younger without any expensive, drastic options.

But I just had a realization…

Maybe all the women who have gone through Dressing Your Truth don’t actually look younger than they are. They just look their actual age! And everyone else just looks OLDER than their actual age, because of the fashion industry’s advice.

Women aren’t meant to look drab and weary by the time they’re 40, 50, or even 60 or 70! We’re meant to be beautiful and vibrant in every decade of our lives.

Look at this fun Dressing Your Truth Before and After. As a bright, animated woman in my Beauty Profiling system, Cathie is naturally youthful and cute. She already has beautiful features and bright eyes in her Before picture. And in her After picture, you can really see how she brought them to the surface with Dressing Your Truth.

Her makeover highlights her amazing features and natural beauty. The result? She takes years off her face—so now she looks her actual, beautiful age! Wow, Cathie! You look amazing!

What do you think of her makeover? Please share a positive comment.

Do you look your actual age? If you don’t love how you look and feel, you’re probably looking older than you should. But you don’t have to.

That’s why I created Dressing Your Truth: a fun, intuitive makeover system that helps you become your own beauty expert, by teaching you which lines, textures, patterns, and fabrications in your clothes really support your true and natural beauty.

And because the whole program’s built on the belief that every woman is beautiful, it really does work for every woman who comes through our program. You can Dress Your Truth no matter your age, size, hair color, skin tone, or facial features.

Even location doesn’t matter! Our easy-to-use training program gives you instant online access to all of our training modules and member resources—whenever you want, wherever you are.

Want to know if Dressing Your Truth is something that could work for you? Take my 3-Minute Beauty Confidence Quiz today and get instant results and beauty tips to help you look your actual (beautiful!) age today.

Want to switch up your look and have some fun with your hairstyle? Use braids.

Braids can can act like an accessory in your hair without actually using an accessory. They keep hair up off your face without resorting to a ponytail. And there are so many ways you can style braids, all according to your Type of beauty.

We want to show you a quick braided accent that you can add to any hairstyle, no matter your Beauty Type. This is an especially fun way to do second- and third-day hair.

Watch the video to see exactly how Sarah does it:

I hope you’ll try this soon. Leave a comment and share another braid idea with us.

And remember our tips to customize braids to your Type of beauty:

• Type 1: Just follow Sarah’s lead to create a bright, animated braid. Or add even more fun with asymmetrical braids—two braids of different widths on the same side.

• Type 2: Your braids look best when blended in with the rest of your hair. Create a softened braid by not pulling hair tight as you go, or by loosening hair with your fingers once the braid is finished.

• Type 3: Take your cue from Sarah for a rich, dynamic braid. Make sure you do this braid style right from the hairline so it’s featured and creates texture. Move in an angle to make it edgy.

• Type 4: Your bold, striking beauty will look great with clean braids that create parallel lines. Follow other parallels in your features or create two symmetrical braids, side by side.

We love sharing fun hairstyle tips with you and seeing what you do with them! If you try out your version of Sarah’s braid, snap a picture and post it on the Dressing Your Truth facebook wall.

And if you haven’t started Dressing Your Truth yet, get started today! Our easy-to-use online training program includes hours of tutorials and hundreds of hairstyle pictures, all to support you in looking and feeling more beautiful than you ever have before.

Some subtle changes to your hair can make all the difference in how you look and feel.

Check out this week’s Dressing Your Truth Before and After.

Jenny is beautiful! But in her Before picture, you might not recognize immediately how beautiful she is because her hair distracts your eye from her lovely face.

She is a Type 2 woman in my Beauty Profiling system. And sometimes, these soft, elegant beauties can feel like they disappear when they’re not wearing a style (especially hairstyle) that honors their more subtle nature.

Look at her After picture. Ta da! There she is—and SO BEAUTIFUL!

The best part about her new hairstyle? Instead of distracting from her beautiful face, her hair supports and highlights it. In Jenny’s After picture, you see her first and everything else second.

What do you think about this lovely makeover? Please share a positive comment.

What makes the difference in this makeover? Product and style.

You have naturally beautiful hair. You just need to use the right products and styling habits to help you create a hairstyle that honors your Type of beauty.

You don’t have to wash your hair every day. In fact, second day hair can look just as good or better than the day before!

The beautiful women on my 4 Types Beauty Panel are all experts at great every day hair styles. And they want to share some hair styling tips so every single day (including that second day!) can be a good hair day:

The Best Cut:

Good hair days depend on a good cut. Marcy, our bright, animated Beauty Expert prefers the layers from a razor cut. But Sheryl, our bold, striking Expert loves the nice, clean line that scissors make.

Learn which techniques support your Type of beauty. And trust your beauty sixth sense so you can communicate confidently with your hairstylist.

The Best Color:

Fall’s coming up. And the fashion and beauty industry often tell us to go darker this time of year. But for some Types of beauty, that just won’t work.

No matter what you do to first or second day hair, it won’t look good if you have the wrong color. Make sure your color supports YOU, not the time of year.

Watch the video to find out why bright, animated Marcy actually highlights her hair come fall—and which fun Type 1 color looks just fabulous with it!

The Best Style:

To get good style with second day hair, you have to lock that style in place on the first. Use the right tools while the blow dryer is on, and you won’t have to struggle to style your hair when it’s dry.

How? Change the blow dryer setting. As a Type 3, I thought hotter and faster was better. But I turned it down and learned a trick to cut down on frizz. Click here if you haven’t seen it yet.

The Best Second Day Hair!

Get it right the first time. Use product and 5 extra minutes getting things right on the first day and your second day hair will just need smoothing product to touch up. You might even make it to third-day hair.

Wash your bangs. Sarah, our rich, dynamic Beauty Expert, pulls her hair back in the shower with a headband and washes just her bangs. This gives her fresh hair around her face without styling everything again.

Refresh (or don’t). There are some great dry shampoos out there—like the Dressing Your Truth True Refresh—to perk up your hair on second days. Use it if you like it. But remember, always check in with your beauty sixth sense. Sheryl explains in the video why she doesn’t like second day hair at all.

Watch the video for more tips and Anne’s details to avoid shower humidity and flattened bed head:

Has a hairstyle ever changed your life?

If you think that sounds silly, you won’t after today’s amazing Before and After.

Eliza is a bold, striking beauty in my Beauty Profiling program. As a Type 4, she looks great in a style that’s clean and structured, which she kind of has going on in her Before picture. Her hairstyle had simple lines, along with her clothes.

But look at what a new hairstyle can do! Eliza transformed her hair to reveal her gorgeous, striking features. And WOW! Can you even believe this is the same person?

Even without any extra accessories, she looks absolutely striking. In fact, her hairstyle itself becomes a fabulous accessory in her After picture.

I love the way her new hairstyle keeps the simplicity and throws out the blah! Doesn’t she look sensational?

What do you think of her makeover? Please share your thoughts in a positive comment.

A Dressing Your Truth makeover helps a woman embrace her true beauty. And I love every single one!

Go From a Beauty Industry Hairstyle…

The fashion and beauty industry gives hairstyle advice that treats you like you’re flawed. Only certain face shapes are supposedly ideal. When you look at it that way, you only get a hairstyle to minimize your imperfect features.

But what if you saw your face as already perfect and your features as something worth highlighting?

…To a Dressing Your Truth Hairstyle

You might not have thought of it this way before, but your hair cut and color acts as a sort of frame for the movement of your face. It should highlight and support your features, not minimize them!

If you haven’t started Dressing Your Truth, a life-changing hairstyle is waiting for you. My easy-to-use online training program will give you all the tools you need to create a hairstyle (and wardrobe and personal style) that really expresses you. It’s simple and sensational!

Have you noticed that my hair has looked a little more managed in recent videos? I want to share a big Aha! that I experienced in the salon a while back.

I was watching Emily, our Dressing Your Truth hairstylist, style my hair. And the way she used the blow dryer looked different from what I did at home. You Type 1′s and Type 3′s are most likely to do exactly what I was doing (but Type 2′s and 4′s aren’t off the hook!).

Turns out, it can create a lot of frizz!

Emily explains exactly how you might be creating frizz and friction in your hair. And then she doesn’t just explain the trick to fix it—she’ll demonstrate the movement you want to make with your brush and blow dryer. Voilá, no more frizzy hair!

The best part about this trick: It won’t take you any extra time.

Emily’s got several tricks up her sleeve, so be sure to watch the whole video to catch all of them.

What do you usually talk about while you’re getting your hair cut?

Your salon conversation can be an important indicator of how you feel about yourself as a woman.

Today, we’re talking about some conversations that might sound silly when we point them out, but that are happening in salons everywhere. And they can actually be very degrading to women!

Emily, one of our fabulous hair stylists, came to us after working in the salon industry for several years. She’s experienced both a typical salon environment and a salon where every woman is Dressing her Truth. I was curious how the conversations she had before compared with conversations she has now with women who understand their true nature and Type of beauty.

Emily shares something very interesting and shows us the power of Beauty Profiling and Dressing Your Truth in helping women heal their lives and open to the power of their true feminine nature!

See how a woman’s understanding of her true beauty translates into the type of conversations that take place in the salon. And learn how to make your own visit to the salon a more supportive, honoring experience that leaves you feeling beautiful and inspired to be your best self.

Take the first step to having the best salon conversations ever by learning about Dressing Your Truth.

Makeover shows are fun. But they have a problem. They try to put beauty on a woman rather bring her true beauty out. So, a woman on a popular makeover TV program might leave the show with designer jeans and a trendy haircut, but not with a sense of her own beauty or the skills to recreate her made-over look on her own.

To bring your true beauty out, you don’t need a TV show, a big budget, or a pair of fashion co-hosts. You just need to know which patterns, lines, colors and textures highlight you. A few simple changes make a huge difference.

Dressing Your Truth will help you make those changes. Its easy-to-use, online training program was designed specifically to help you embrace and express your true beauty. It’s a do-it-yourself makeover better than anything out there.

This before and after shows how Dressing Your Truth helps a beautiful woman embrace her true nature with a few simple, but dramatic changes. What do you think of her makeover? Please share your positive comments.
