For the New Year, resolve to perfect your beauty routine. Check out these 5 resolutions for keeping your hair looking its best everyday.

1. I will Schedule my hair-care appointments in advance.
   To keep you hair looking its best everyday throughout the year, schedule your hairdresser appointments for the entire year. This eliminates the frustration of a style or hair color that is overgrown and assures you of getting the time and day that is convenient. Most hairdressers are grateful because you won’t be calling begging for an appointment right away.
   Check out these hairdresser approved guidelines.


2. I will pay attention to the Maintenance of my hair.
   
   • Supplies, shampoo, conditioner, styling aids:
     Resolve to use only the best quality products on your hair. Ask your hairdresser to suggest the formula best suited for your hair. When you find one you like, you can purchase it in large economy sizes and either refill your smaller bottles or get pumps for the large bottles.
   
   
   • Deep condition your hair regularly
     Use a deep conditioner every 4 weeks - more often if you both perm and color your hair or if you are in the sun or wind often.
   
   
   • Wear sunscreen for your hair. This will preserve your hair-color and the moisture balance of your hair.
   
   
3. I will Improve my Diet to improve the condition of my hair from the inside out.
   
   • Read Beat Bad Hair Days.
   
   
   • Read Thicker, Healthier Hair.
   
   
4. I resolve to Look Better Everyday.
   
   • Wear fewer pony-tails
     Few people look their best in a ponytail! Often if you cut you hair above shoulder length it will be easier to style and maintain.
     
   • Ask your hairdresser for attractive ideas for the days when you don’t have time to shampoo and style your hair. Then practice those ideas so you are prepared.
   
   
5. I will Update my style and hair color at least once a year.
   Sometimes we get too comfortable with a reliable style or hair-color and keep it for too long. As a result we end up looking stuck in the past. Resolve to make a change every year or even better every 6 months.

Make these resolutions. Plan your haircare regime and stick to it for a stress-free beauty year.
