Trudy Asks:

I’ve always wanted someone to give me a makeover and tell me what cut and colour would suit me best. What hairstyle do you think would look best on me?

Lisa’s Answer:

I would suggest that you shorten the length to just above the shoulders and add more layers to give a more defined style. Colour-wise add some lighter toffee pieces to lift the colour and add vibrance. Next time you go to the hairdressers ask them how you can achieve more volume when you blow dry, they should be able to show you the best way to get a bit of oomp into your new style.

Catherine Asks:

I want to change my look, please tell me what you think I should do with my hair!

Lisa’s Answer:

I would suggest you have your hair cut to the shoulders and have something to shape the jaw line such as a soft graduated bob or if you are feeling brave an elfin crop. The colour could be a full vibrant brown with some internal lighter pieces weaved in.
