Want Change? How about a new Hairstyle?

As most women know, when we get restless for change, a quick change, there are a couple things we can do…

1. Buy a new dress, top, or outfit, because of course there is always NOTHING to wear in the closet, and new clothes always make us feel great.

2. Get a manicure (not sure how this helps change, but its nice to have pretty nails, and will help clear one's mind on how to change other things about one's self in the future). New makeup also does the trick, too.

3. Change your hair.

I usually choose 3. As some may or may not know, I dye my hair. Only to make it darker, because my natural hair color is just a blah color of brown. But whenever I am feeling super restless, dying my hair is a sure fire way to feel better. I can't even tell you how refreshed and happy I feel when I've just covered up 3-months worth of roots (don't ask me why I put it off that long sometimes, but I do, haha)

I'm sure you can all agree... whether you cut it, dye it, crimp it, curl it, blow it, braid it, there's nothing like a new hairstyle to make ya feel like a vibrant new woman with a better state of mind.

Admittedly, I am rather attached to my long hair. It took quite awhile to grow, and its part of my 'image' as a musician I feel, but I do often wonder what I'd look like with a new style, and perhaps a different color. As a teen I was a chameleon constantly changing hair colors and styles, but as an adult I've always stayed with the dark brown/black hair color family. Boring I know. But that doesn't mean I don't wonder what kind of attention I'd get as a blond or redhead, or how much time would I save if I had shorter hair that didn't take an hour to dry and style.

Now thanks to: Instyle Hollywood Makeover I can be brave and bold with my hair, without the risk and remorse. And there's no shock over why my hair turned orange and gray in one night of hair dye mishap (I looked like an Olympic torch). With this online makeover its all the gain without the pain. Of course its just a picture to see what I'd look like with a new do, but I figure if I like it enough that way, I might have the guts to take the plunge and make it a reality. Granted I don't have top-notch hair stylists at my disposal, but there are some pretty low-budget salons that can help duplicate the styles.

So here are some new hairstyles..(keep in mind that some of these are for entertainment purposes only, I wouldn't be caught dead in some of these do's!)

JESS' TOP 12 HAIR STYLES

12. The Ashlee Simpson. Makes me wanna paint my nails black and proclaim that "I didn't steal your boyfriend!"



11. Bleach blond bowl cut. Its just wrong when real hair looks like a wig!


10. Mandy Moore, girl next door. Not bad. But not exciting either.


9. Hallo Deutschland! Its the Heidi Klum. Um, can we say, auf wiedersehen? I could also get on Star Trek with this one.



8. The 1930's Writer. Cute like Margaret Mitchell. Just give me a typewriter and I'll write the next "Gone With the Wind".


7. The Julia Roberts. Red and sophisticated. Makes me look very grown up. Think I could pull off red?


6. Michelle Phiefer look. If I was going to sport blond, I think I would do it golden with highlights.



5. The Keira Knightly. No description needed. What was she thinking? And what was I thinking?!


4. The Katie Holmes. Très chic and sassy. Reminds me of Vogue magazine editor Anna Wintour. Um..looks better on Katie methinks!


3. The Supermodel. Who hasn't looked at Giselle Bündchen's luscious golden locks and dreamed of looking like Rapunzel, too?

2. Rachel Bilson. I love the warm tones, highlights and long layers. This is probably my favorite and one I may attempt in the future.

And lastly, the crème de la crème, the cream of the crop of all hairdos...my number one hairstyle...


1. The Senator do. Dignity and class personified, inspired by Hillary Clinton. Granted I look about 50 instantly with this, but maybe then I could run for public office, too?

I was just kidding about the Hillary Clinton one of course, but what do you all think? I would love some feedback people! I'm really stuck as to which one of these to choose should I undergo a hairstyle transformation, and as you can see these are all GORGEOUS, lol! :) So HELP me out!!
