Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow: How to Tell It's time for an Update

Want a cheaper, less permanent way to change your look? You don't have to rush out to the salon every time you need to update. Try these few cost-effective tricks at home:

• Switch up your part. If you have been rocking a side part for most of your adult life, throw a wrench in the works by trying a center part for a few weeks and see what people say.
• Try a headband, trendy barrette or hairpin.
• Experiment with a hip "vintage" hairdo; think, Maggie Gyllenhaal's adorable twists and tendrils, or Audrey Hepburn's classic updo. You can find plenty of videos on YouTube that provide easy tutorials on how to achieve a fun new look.
