You never know when it’ll strike. You’re looking in the mirror and you come to an earth-shattering realization: you’re completely dissatisfied with your look. Maybe you’ve been weathering a breakup. Maybe quarantine has finally made you insane. Whatever the reason, you think “I need to change up my look ASAP.”
But before you place an emergency call to your hairdresser begging for a full chop (why do we always go for the hair?), take a step back and consider these low-commitment, high-impact products to switch up your look instead.
