Ok, I still adhere to the old tale of switching shampoos every couple of weeks. So I use my Schwarzkopf Bona Cure for three weeks, then switch to L'Oreal something, then maybe some Shea Butter stuff I found at Sally's and back to Bona Cure.

Sun Kissed Glowing hair!

How to Get a Sun-Kissed Glow on Budget

One reader gets a glowing red carpet-worthy overhaul that's a cinch to maintain -- see if it's right for you

After losing 80 pounds, TotalBeauty.com reader Deana felt great on the inside but still needed help on the outside. Inspired by sunny Hollywood blondes like Goldie Hawn and Heidi Klum, our celebrity hairstylists and makeup artist gave Deana a bright new look to help boost her confidence, and kept it budget-friendly to boot! See tips

Do you remember the product called "Sun In" ? And it was a bottle of pump spray highlights? If you do, like I do: it required being "fixed" at a salon afterwards. I am still growing out the bad bleach job that burned my hair to the roots from two years ago. So the information about getting sun kissed glow isn't for me, but maybe for you? Enjoy!
