Hairstyle Tips for Tough Economic Times

In these times of economic insecurity, it is not easy to comfortably bear the cost of a monthly haircut.

Because of the current recession, people are cutting back; they are not visiting hair salons as often. Previously, women used to get highlights or color every 3 weeks, now it’s 4 to 5.

However, the last thing you want to do is give up looking beautiful. Salon visits can be worked into the budget!

Choose a low-maintenance hairstyle. A bob is a very cost-effective cut – it can last for months!

Change your hair-color habits. Avoid dramatic colors; they need lots of maintenance.

Consider lowlights. They are great money-saver because they last three months.

In case you still want highlights, keep them subtle - no more than 4 levels lighter than your natural hair color.

If you need to cover a little gray, go for a temporary dye that is similar to your natural color. The color will last 6 to 9 weeks with no re-growth lines.

If you have a lot of gray, get a permanent color that is 1 or 2 shades lighter than your natural color. The application will last up to two months.

A final option is changing to a less expensive stylist.
