Danielle's do's for "I love my hair!" results...

* Want instant change? Try switching your part.

* Almost everyone looks better with highlights. For the most natural took. don't go more than three shades lighter than your natural color.

* The easiest way to update a boring bob? Have the top layer cut slightly shorter than the bottom so the ends flip out.

* Long, angled bangs ere really in and look great on almost everyone.

* The hottest look? Take your tare plain cut and break up the boring line by asking your stylist to slightly "chip out" the ends. This will take some weight off your hair for more volume, and your ends will bend in different directions, giving your hair more movement.

Lori's look-great secrets for everyone ...

* No clue at all? No one can go wrong with a silvery-lilac shimmer shadow a little mascara on curled lashes, a berry lip gloss and a cream blush in whatever color comes on your cheeks in the cold.

* Play up one thing. If you put more color on your eyes, keep lips subtle.

* If you have great lips and braces, don't shy away from dark, shiny color!

* African-American girls should start with a yellow-toned concealer one or two shades lighter then their skin. Pinks and plums look great on dark skin, but don't be afraid of pale, soft colors. They look tab too!

* Asian girls look great with well-defined brows (make friends with a brow brush and eye shadow that matches your brow color). Go with a light shadow all over your lids with a medium shade in the crease, a simple pink blush, and bright lip color or shiny gloss to play up great lips!

* For Latin girls, less is morel Stick with a yellow-gold foundation, a golden blush, shimmery shadow a touch lighter than your natural lid color, some black mascara and a berry-colored lip. Perfect!
