What you need to know about lightening up your locks in the winter

Is your hair color a little "blah" this time of year, but you don't want to spend a fortune on highlights done by a professional? Truth is you can enhance your tresses without the fuss of foils or a cap. Instead of making a drastic color change in the winter months, choose a hue that almost matches your natural color, try out L'Oreal Natural Match for $11.99. Or brighten up your current color with a color-depositing conditioner like ARTec Color Moisturizer for approx. $16.00.

While you continue to turn your bathroom into the beauty salon, after you complete your color enhancement use Clairol Nice n' Easy Color Seal Gloss for $6.99, this product will make your locks ultra reflective by coating them with a clear, silicone film that will last up to six weeks.

Besides all over color, there are other ways to add dimension to your hair. If you want to counteract an over-highlight, or an "oops" with the bleach, Revlon Custom Effects Lowlighting Kit for $10.99 should do the trick. And instead of letting your hair color fade into the distance like the horizon, revive it with a color boost from VIVE Pro Glossy Volume Shampoo and Conditioner for $4.99 each.
