[quote=Anonymous]1. You must color your hair.  Maybe a different (lighter) color will help hide the grays in between visits?  Discuss with your stylist what your best options are for cut and color considering that you can't come as regularly as you need to.  If there are no other options, try experimenting with some of the root-touch up products they have now or just bite the bullet and make it a priority to go to the salon more often.

2. Keratin treatment to eliminate the frizz.  I have naturally wavy and frizzy hair and after getting this done, I could actually let my hair air dry IN THE SUMMER without it turning into a total mess.   You can do one now and it will probably last you through the fall or longer.  But get it done at a salon, at least for the first time.

3. Dry shampoo!!!  It prolongs your hairstyle between washes so it saves a lot of time when getting ready.  I like Living Proof's dry shampoo.

4. BB cream, or CC cream, or tinted moisturizer to even out your complexion and save time.  Add concealer where needed (under eyes for example).  One quick swipe of blush and you're done.  Tinted lip balm.  Super easy and no more than 5 minutes.

5. Find 1-2 cool accessories - a bracelet or necklace or earrings for everyday wear, depending on what you can comfortably wear around the kids (my kids are obsessed with necklaces so I tend to stick to earrings and bracelets).  And go a little bigger, but not huge, with the size of the accessories - if it's too dainty or delicate, it won't be as noticeable.

6. Buy a nice purse/bag.  That can upgrade even the most basic outfit of jeans and a top.  It doesn't have to be super expensive, but it shouldn't look cheap.  Avoid logos.

7. Cute shoes/sandals.  It makes you look like you put some effort into your outfit.
