The Frumpy-to-Fab Hair Makeover

TotalBeauty.com reader Jennifer discovers the hot hair she should have been born with

The trick to holding on to your red "Red fades the fastest, but you can maintain it at home easily," Backe says. Dye only the roots, leaving the length alone. Try a medium reddish blonde for a look like Jennifer's. Have a salon balance the color every three months. Between colorings, use a color-protecting shampoo and conditioner.

I have to be honest, I was not sure about the red while watching the slideshow, but it really works for her. She went from frumpy to fabulous with just a few tweaks. I think the hair is what makes this makeover so beautiful!
