4. The Hair: When you think of the term “Diva”, the first thing that will most likely pop into your head is, ironically enough, hair. No matter which generation you’re from, you can identify with the lustrous locks that draw the necessary attention associated with Diva status.  Cher and her infamous wigs (does anyone really know what her real hair looks like?); Diana Ross and those carefree curls; Tina Turner and her sophisticated shag; Christina Aguilera , with her blonde bombshell look of whatever she feels like at the time.  What do these fine ladies all have in common?  A colossal budget specified for doing their doo.   If tremendously-long tresses are what you have in mind, and your current hair style is somewhat short, you have two really have only 3 options:  First, you could get hair extensions.  The downside to this would of course be the immense cost of creation.  With an average cost of $500 (without dying it to the color of your choice), the average budget just won’t be able to cover this cost.  Second, you could get a wig, but a high-quality headpiece that won’t make you look like a clown (or Hulk Hogan) could cost you more than extensions. Thirdly, you could wait to dress like a Diva until your hair gets longer.  If none of these ideas are viable options for you, you’re going to have to work with what you have. Every length of hair qualifies as “Diva-able”, not just long.  Think about Madonna and her pre-Kabala days of short hair, with slightly edgy curls “crazy-glued’ to her face.  Add a touch of glitter gel or hair mascara (choose a temporary color…just in case you hate it), and BAM! You’ve got a Diva-Doo!  Hair jewels are another thought, but you really need to think of it like your accessories—you don’t want to be so “blingy” that you start throwing off the flight patterns of nearby aircraft. For medium length hair, adding some glitter gel, curvaceous curls, and/or fancy clips will bring some glamour to your style.  A bit of contrasting, temporary color won’t hurt your cause, either.  If you normally part your hair in the middle, part it on the side.  If you usually part your hair on the side, why don’t you try parting it in the middle?  Your hair, just like the rest of you, gets caught in a pattern of what it does, so by altering it, you’re adding some zest and fervor to a traditionally tame style.  No matter the style or length, be sure to carry a purse-size hairspray to keep your style looking fresh all day (or night).
