Beauty New Year's Resolutions

The new year means a fresh, clean slate!

Here are Amy's Best Hair Tips for 2010 for healthy, beautiful hair that will make you look and feel vibrant and youthful!

1. Look younger by keeping your hair in optimum condition.

2. If your hair is colored, look youthful by incorporating three colors so it doesn't look harsh. One color is boring and two colors can look stripy. Think of the dimension you see in a child's hair color.

3. If you're a blonde, remember it's not how light you are, but how bright and shiny you can look. If your color is too ashy, it will absorb light and look flat. It it's golden, it will reflect the light and look healthy and super shiny.

4. Don't get trapped in your hair color. Don't be afraid to add warmth, sparkle and shine. Chocolate for brunettes and honey for blonds.

5. Bangs: If they are too short, it can age you. Don't use your fringe (bangs) to hide the wrinkles on your forehead. It's best to wear a fringe open in the temple area. Wearing your fringe curved in toward your cheeks will make your face look wider and shorter. Go more often for a complimentary bang trim.

6. Old styling habits are hard to change. Some people get into the habit of round brushing, when they should be using a paddle brush. Round brushes are good to add volume to the crown area. Imagine wearing a headband. Volume should happen behind the headband. Paddle brushes smooth, provide control and straighten your hair. Don't use a round brush on your fringe (bangs). Too much volume in the fringe is not a current style and can age you.

7. Don't think you have to wear your hair long because you have a fat face. Most women end up pulling their hair up into a pony tail because it's too long.

8. Don't be afraid to cut your hair between the shoulder and just below the chin. This will give you a perky, beautiful look.

9. Headbands are hot. So are simple pins. Pull hair back into a low braid with a pin adorned with crystals or diamonds. Less is more. Don't overdo it.

10. Take care of your hair buy using the right products. You'll be amazed by how many good hair days you'll have. Get rid of all those old styling products.
