" We&amp;#039;ve got the tools, tricks and techniques that will make you mistress of your mane-- whether you want to pump up curl, color, volume or shine.   Hair-Envy Solution #1 From Frizzy To Tousled Curls   AT-HOME FIX: Smooth down the top layer of hair with a balm or leave-in conditioner (we like Phyto Conditioner 7, Sebastian Grease or Aussie Vitamend Leave-In Therapy).   Apply the product to the ends of your towel-dried hair, working it in to the roots. This prevents product overload and helps keep the ends glued together.   Give your product a few minutes to sink in, then on a low-heat setting blowdry your hair, directing the air down toward the crown of your head. Let the ends dry naturally.   Velcro rollers will also loosen up too-tight curls. Dry your hair halfway, then roll large sections (about 1-inch wide) under and up. Let your hair dry naturally or use a blowdryer if you&amp;#039;re in a hurry.   Finish with a shine enhancer like Redken CAT polishing shine or Tresemme TresShine.   SALON SOLUTION: Mild relaxing treatments can cure frizz and generally last three to five months. Cost is between $75 and $150, depending on hair length.   There&amp;#039;s also the low-cost way to banish frizzies: the ole hair trim every six weeks.   Boca Raton, Fla., colorist Thais Bradford of the Peter Coppola Salon coats her clients&amp;#039; frizzies with color or clear gloss treatments to weigh down the cuticle, scaring those fierce frizzies away.   Hair-Envy Solution #2 From Curly To Straight   AT-HOME FIX: Get out your blowdryer, a large, round, natural-bristle brush and a straightening product (try Rusk Str8, Joico Straightener or KMS StraightEdge Balm).   Apply the product to towel-dried hair, then start sectioning; make them no wider than the length of your brush&amp;#039;s barrel. Start at the back of your head, suggests stylist Vincent Mazzei of NuBest &amp;amp;amp; Co. Salon in Long Island, New York.   To get optimum tension and straightening effects, start at the roots and pull out. Point the hot air down on the sections for sleek, straight strands.   After you&amp;#039;ve conquered your curls, warm up some hair balmy stuff in your palms (Fudge Hair Licorice or Paul Mitchell Gloss) and run it over the outer layers.   SALON SOLUTIONS: A mild relaxing treatment gives you the option of wearing your hair curly or straight, and if you&amp;#039;re dealing with a major time crunch, you can create a no-fuss wavy look. Most people only need this treatment about twice a year, but it costs between $75 and $100 each time. If you&amp;#039;re not ready to make this kind of commitment, blow-outs performed by a pro can give you megasleek locks. Your stylist will do all the arm-work for you.   Hair-Envy Solution #3 From Brown To Goldie Locks   AT-HOME FIX: Got a blonde ambition? It&amp;#039;s totally doable at home, as long as you don&amp;#039;t need to lighten your hair more than three shades.   Choose a kit that contains both a lightener (bleach) and a toner. According to Clairol&amp;#039;s National Haircolor Consultant, Chuck Hezekiah, if you look better in peach lipsticks, choose a honey, golden or strawberry hue; if pink lipsticks are much more flattering, go with a shade between beige and ash blonde. Try L&amp;#039;Oreal Preference Le Blondissimes, Revlon Colorsilks or Clairol Maxi Blonde.   Buy a new color kit every four to six weeks and lighten only the areas of new hair growth. Continuing to lighten hair you&amp;#039;ve already bleached can do major damage.   SALON SOLUTION: Before you bleach your hair, schedule a color consultation so you&amp;#039;ll know what to expect and how much cash you&amp;#039;ll be laying out. The darker your hair, the more moolah you&amp;#039;ll be shelling out to go blonde.   If you want to go ultra pale, it&amp;#039;ll require a technique called double processing, which is expensive--around $80 to $140--for the first visit, then $40 to $60 to lighten regrowth every four to six weeks.   Highlights will cost you almost as much as the double process, but the touchups aren&amp;#039;t as frequent--about every eight to 12 weeks.   Hair-Envy Solution #4 From Thin To Full Locks   AT-HOME FIX: Great hair-plumpin&amp;#039; products can take your hair from thin to thick--quick! Combine products to really see a difference, says James Morrison, artistic director of Toni &amp;amp;amp; Guy Salons. Mixing a mousse and a thickening solution, for example (like Rusk Thick Tigi Essensuals Thickening Cream or John Frieda Thickening Lotion), doubles the plumping potential.   Apply the mousse all over wet hair, then smush up the thickening lotion in the palm of your hand, apply it from the roots to the ends of your hair and comb through. Blowdrying&amp;#039;s a must: It activates the thickening lotion and--when you use a large round brush as you blowdry--locks in the volume.   If you have fine, straight hair, try scrunching it when it&amp;#039;s damp, cupping your hand loosely around the ends, then working toward the crown of your head. This will give you a pouffed &amp;#039;do.   Apply conditioner and a body-building product daily to give your hair some lift. Try a product like Finesse Bodifying Adjusting Conditioner.   SALON SOLUTION: Fake fullness by getting a new haircut. Medium-fine hair perks up when it&amp;#039;s cut in long layers. But if you really want body via a haircut, you&amp;#039;ll have to go--gasp!--shorter.   If that&amp;#039;s out of the question, consider highlights, which create the illusion of thicker hair by layering on contrasting colors.   Color glosses, which enrich your natural hue or come in clear shades, can also pump up the volume, according to New York City colorist Tarah from the Mark Garrison Salon.
