Without a doubt, the easiest and quickest way to create a new look for yourself is to start with your hair. You've only got to look at the ex-Spice Girl, Victoria Beckham to demonstrate what a difference a change of hairstyle can make.www.hairstyle.com/celebrity-hairstyles/victoria -beckham-hairstyles.htm

Be daring and go for a completely radical hair makeover. Going from long hair to short hair is a dramatic step to take and is one that takes courage, despite the fact that you know in the long run you can always grow your hair back to its original length.

It's a good idea to sit down with your hairdresser and flip through the numerous hair magazines and discuss the various options. You might want to take it further and consider a whole change of color as well, to make an even greater impact; or perhaps opt for streaks.

Having chosen your new hairstyle and color, you will more than likely find the need to change your makeup as well to match and coordinate with the new choice of hair color. A more vibrant lipstick perhaps, a different shade of eye shadow and even a change of foundation might be required. There are numerous beauty consultants in the big stores that would be more than willing to help and advise you; sometimes they will give you a complete new makeover for free.

Your new hairstyle, color and makeup will revolutionize the way you think about your clothes and accessories. Your new short look will reveal more of your neck and ears and so inspire you to experiment further with scarves, necklaces and earrings. As with your makeup, your wardrobe will have access to a whole new range of colors, colors that you would never have worn before. Even the choice of necklines will be governed by your new hairstyle. Don't be afraid to wear a cap either; a simple cap worn jauntily to one side of your new short hair, will certainly give you an edge.

Surprise your friends with your new image; strut your stuff and walk past them in the street and see what their reactions are, that's of course if they recognize you.

It does you good to revamp your image, particularly if you have become bored or tired of your old self. You never know, the reinvention of yourself might encourage you to act differently and display a certain attitude that you never knew existed.
