Does cutting your hair make it grow faster?

From New Beauty Magazine:

"One of the greatest debates and oldest myths in the beauty book is the belief that cutting your hair will make it grow faster. Let's settle this right now, once and for all!

Your hair will not physically grow any faster, thicker or stronger if you cut it more frequently. What you do to the ends simply doesn't effect the roots.

However, frequent cuts can make your locks look healthier, since cutting hair eliminates split and gnarled ends.

Hair grows, on average, at a rate of about a half-inch per month, so experts recommend regular cuts about every two months, particularly if you're letting your hair grow long. This will help it look its best as it gets longer."

Taylor Swift's Sexy Hair Style

Allure.com shares this inside info about Taylor Swift's new sleek do. They used Kerastase to help achieve the look! Get it at Von Anthony Salon, Frisco. 972-731-7600.

We think her the ponytail would look great for any holiday party.

"If you're a Taylor Swift fan, you can pretty much predict what she'll look like at any given awards show. You know: spiral-curled hair, red lips, sparkly white dress—which, don't get us wrong, looks gorg.

But at the American Music Awards, Swift ditched her signature style and debuted a grown-up version of herself, with a super-straight ponytail, strong bangs, nude-pink lips, and a tailored black suit.

We're crazy for the new look, especially the hair. 'We decided to do straight hair to achieve a sleeker, edgier look,' hairstylist Jemma Muradian, who did Swift's hair for the AMAs, told us.

She started by washing Swift's hair with Kérastase Balancing Shampoo for Sun-Exposed Hair and Replenishing After-Sun Treatment for Sun-Exposed Hair. "These supplied enough nourishment without weighing the hair down," Muradian says.

Looks to Love from the AMAs

A recent post by Modern Salon.

Red carpet style is always something to get excited about and the looks at the 2010 American Music Awards were no exception. From Rihanna's red spirals to Taylor Swift's surprisingly straight tresses, celebrities brought their A-game to the arrivals carpet. And while there were some misses—FYI Avril Lavigne, it's no longer 2002—there were several great styles worthy of some love. Here are three favorites.

Katy Perry
Talk about the newlywed glow!

Taylor Swift
Going the opposite of curly-haired RiRi, Swift straightened her normal spirals into a sleek, sophisticated blond style—finished off with a perfect, eyebrow-grazing fringe.





Rihanna
Rihanna's been in a red mood lately, but this was the first time she's modeled the dark red spirals. The voluminous, retro style complemented her red lace dress perfectly.

Favorite hair care tip? To create volume from the crown, blow dry everything straight forward, whether it's using a round brush, or a paddle brush.
