Air dry more, heat treat less
It's pretty much a given that women want what they can't have when it comes to their hair. If you were blessed with sexy curls but constantly flatiron them to achieve straight, sleek locks, or you curl your pin-straight strands each and every day, give your hair a break. Heat treating your hair too much can lead to fried strands and split ends, not to mention a major lack of shine! Resolve to air dry your hair at least once a week (or more, if you're brave!) and your hair will thank you later.
Get cut frequently
It's really easy to forget to reschedule your haircut, isn't it? But the longer you wait, the worse your hair gets and the more filled your stylist's calendar becomes. Resolve to get yourself on a regular haircut schedule this year, and your hair will behave better than ever before! Plus, if you get your hair cut on a regular basis, it'll be easier for your stylist to work with your hair's shape!
Hair masks
If the first thing that comes to your mid when you hear the word "mask" is Halloween, it's likely you're not a hair mask addict. 2012 is the perfect time to get acquainted with these hair-perfecting miracle workers. Applying a hair mask once every week or two can help add moisture to hair, recover strained heat-treated locks or prolong your colour. Resolve to indulge those locks, ladies!
Switch up your look
If you've been sporting the same 'do since college, it's time to update things a bit! Whether you're looking for a change in cut or even just want to start trying out different styles on an every day basis, change things up in the hair department this year. Beauty is all about experimentation, and trying on new hairstyles is always a fun process!
Toodles to tight ponies
Sigh. We know you tote your tail everywhere – sports, with a cute ribbon and on bad hair days – but ponying up too much can really stress your strands. Yep, too-tight ponytails, and sporting a tail every day are two ways to cause major breakage. Steer clear of rubber-band pony holders or ones with a metal clasp that will easily snag strands. Pull back your tresses in a cute bun or comb it back in a clip instead.
