Step One: Make Your Haircut More Exciting
For a flattering change that isn't too dramatic, consider getting a layered haircut like one of these and adding a sideswept bang, which is what stylist Katia of Lukaro Beverly Hills does to Linda's naturally wavy hair. The result is a more voluminous shape that still looks long and feminine. You can blow-dry this style straight with a round ionic brush (try Metropolis Round Thermal Ionic Brush, $19.95) and temporary straightener (try Biosilk Silk Strate, $11.99) to add bounce, body and shine. To create natural-looking waves instead, roll damp hair into buns on the sides of the head and secure with pins. Heat the buns with a blow dryer and let air-dry.

Our makeover dream team -- celebrity hair stylists and owners of Lukaro Beverly Hills salon Luke and Rona O'Connor, and celebrity makeup artist Robert Bolanos -- shows TotalBeauty.com reader Linda how to take her daily wash 'n' go look to stage-ready sex kitten with five simple hair and makeup tips. Follow her amazing transformation to recreate this "rock 'n' roll sexy" look at home.
