Chopping off your long blond tresses for a short brunette pixie look may be brave, but it is also very, very risky and I’m not sure I know anyone who is that hair confident! But now you can get a dramatic look without the major hair regret we all know too well.
Here are our top tips for having a hair transformation without the commitment:
1. Clip on fringes
Let’s face it, we are not all Zooey Deschanel, but how often have you considered getting a fringe just to ‘change things up’? Most hair stores also sell false braids, clip in extensions and fringes in all shades and tones. It is a great, temporary look for the follically faint-hearted like myself.
2. Try a lob
Cutting your hair shorter at the back is a good way to keep hair in good condition, not alter your overall appearance and retain your safety length at the front.

3. Change your parting
Apparently, the wrong hair parting can make us look years older and could drag down our features while the right parting can be rejuvenating and could take 5 years off your age. 5 years! Always part your hair to the side? Why not try a middle parting for a more bohemian look?
4. Faux Bob
Fake it until you make it with this clever hair trick. Pull your hair together at the nape of your neck, tie with a bobbin near the ends and then tuck them under. Pin it in place with clips for a truly great gatsby look.

5. Flick your hair
Transform your everyday blow dry by going slightly more retro by flicking out the ends. Use a quality hair dryer with intelligent heat control like the Dyson Supersonic to help avoid extreme heat damage.
6. Use a topsy tail
Get princess pretty using this plastic genius to create the ‘twist’. We showcased this look earlier this week and it turns out the entire internet is now going crazy for this sophisticated yet fresh style.

7. Get some texture
Using a texturising spray will give your hair a fresh new look while also letting your natural curl loose. Less heat styling will mean your hair looks much healthier too!
8. Back comb
Again the mighty comb saves the day. This style is especially useful on those too-lazy-to-wash-my-hair days that we all have. Don’t we?! Just spritz on some holding spray, back-comb like a beauty and gently smooth down to reveal perfect big hair that will last all day.
