Little Changes Hair and There

HairQueen News

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and as we approach the holiday season, it seems we are reminded everywhere of the importance to take time to reflect and say thanks for the blessings in our lives.

One of my practices is to do a daily action list, with an action partner. We do this electronically, it helps us to both stay on task with our personal and professional goals. This month I started adding three to four gratitude's at the end of my list.

This small change has added a delightful sense of happiness to my day.

The list looks something like this:

Gratitudes:

Good health
Great clients
Good tea
Friends and family

Trends of the Season

The holidays are also a great time to try something new with your hair. Updating your hair doesn't need to be dramatic. The trends for this holiday season show that little changes can have a big impact.

Bangs

Since the start of fall, many celebrities have opted to update their look by chopping off a little bit of hair and adding bangs. Check out the before & after pictures:

Shoulder-length

Many celebrities who have been known for the long locks are now choosing to go for shorter cuts instead.

Question:

"I want to do something different but I don't want to cut much off" :).

Answer:
