Tressed Out

I have medium length layered hair and I want to get a short bob (like Katie Holmes’ new hair cut) but I’m not so sure I want that HUGE of a change. So, are there any other cuts that are short but not too short??

Expert Advice From Nelson: Try a haircut that is shorter than your style now. Go for a length in-between your hair length and Katie Holmes. Cut shorter around face area to frame the face and give the appearance of a shorter haircut.

How do you use a paddle brush and hairdryer to straighten your hair?

Expert Advice From Nelson: Take a medium section of hair with the paddle brush, apply tension by pulling hair snug around the brush then applying heat.

My hair is straight except for at the ends. It does this annoying thing where one side flips in and the other flips out and it looks really dumb. I can't get rid of this unless I curl or straighten my hair but I don't want to fry it. Is there any type of hair cut that will keep my hair from flipping at the ends?

Expert Advice From Nelson: Try a professional straightening treatment such as a keratin straightening treatment to keep hair smooth.

I have these really short hairs all over my head that stick out! When I wear a ponytail, they get all curly and stick out! Even if I use gel, not far into the day they start sticking out again! Straightening doesn't help either. How do I stop them without waiting for them to grow out or buying an expensive bottle of hair product? PLEASE HELP!

Expert Advice From Nelson:
Try using a smoothing serum before blow-drying hair to keep short hairs down.
