I Hate My Hair

LOSE LENGTH, DEEPEN COLOR, ADD DEFINITION

Tammy Daniele, 36; full-time mother

Problem: "I've been growing out my hair for two years. It just hangs there, with no style."

Pipino's solution:A shorter, layered cut will take the weight off of Tammy's hair—which was what was pulling it down—and reveal her striking long neck. Pipino cut off more than four inches and sliced long bangs for a strong, sexy style that's also easier to maintain. Tammy's hair was overbleached—too light and too similar to her skin color, so Pipino gave her a single-process dark red to add depth and definition.

Results: "Pretty color," said Tammy. "And less time with the blow-dryer. I'm really looking forward to that."
