Not everyone is a style chameleon, always switching her look because she gets bored easily. However, most women like a change from time to time, even if it's a minor one. You don't have to go from mid-back length hair to a pixie cut to satisfy your need for something new. A rinse in a softer color or just wearing curls instead of straight hair for a week is enough of a variation.
A rut, though, isn't the same thing as wearing a hairstyle that flatters you most of the time. Ruts are boring and women who feel stuck in them feel bored by their hair. Not sure if this describes you? Read on for the 5 signs you're stuck in a hairstyle rut.
When was the last time you changed your style, even if you only changed your part from the right to the left? If you can't remember when your basic hairdo last changed, you could be in a rut. Even among the most flattering hairstyle for you, there's room for variation. You can add or grow out layers, trim a couple of inches, or add curls from time to time. If your current style is one you can create with your eyes closed, it's probably time for a change.More »

You might know you need a change, but if you're in a rut, you don't have the energy to find something new. This can be true for you and/or your stylist. If you avoid looking at different styles in magazines, online and you don't notice when your closest friend or coworker debuts her new look, your interest in hair is nonexistent.
There's a difference between having a favorite hair product that never lets you down and using the same product indefinitely because you don't feel like looking for anything new or different. If you're not even aware of the newest products and product lines to hit the shelves, you're not looking because new names come out all the time. Continuing to use the same products year after year can be problematic when those products no longer work as well. Formulations change without our knowledge or our hair's needs change, making tried-and-true products less effective.More »
You don't have to follow every single trend, but just knowing they're out there proves you're somewhat interested in what's going on hair-wise. If the last trend you heard about was something that was "new" a decade ago, it's time to break out of that rut.
