Last week, Kim Kardashian went on Jay Leno to promote her new movie, Temptation, and talk all things Baby West. Noticeably absent? Her new bangs, which the star declared via Instagram to be "over." Blunt bangs, like the ones she debuted just weeks ago, can be hard to keep up-and are definitely not for the fickle, since they can take six months or more to grow out fully. If you, like Kim, are feeling buyer's remorse about hopping aboard one of the hottest trends of the season, here's how to hide them:

Product
Kim's soft waves don't look like they've been doused in product, but she most likely got some help keeping her fringe off her face. To keep your bangs at bay, try using a dollop of Nexxus Exxtra Gel, parting hair to the side like Kim or slicking bangs straight back into a sleek ponytail. Finish with hair spray.

In the shower: After menopause, your scalp starts to produce less of the oils that "hydrate and strengthen your hair, and add shine," says Francesca Fusco, a dermatologist in New York City. That means you can go longer between shampoos without getting greasy--and you probably should, since shampoo strips hair of even more oil after it removes dirt and grime. Try sudsing up just the hair at your roots, and look for moisturizing shampoos (they're relatively gentle) or formulas that contain essential oils like almond, sunflower, and rosemary that help nourish the hair follicle so new hair can grow in stronger (provided you massage them into the root well) says Fusco.

We're all naturally blonde, right? I mean, at least we started out that way… or most of us anyway, but being blonde as an adult is expensive and keeping blonde tresses their perfect shade of blonde, is upkeep indeed. And, if we're going to foot the mighty salon bills, then we may as well do our part to keep our blonde hairs looking their best until it's time to go back and do it all over again.

Below are a few of my favorite methods for keeping my faux tow head flaxen in between salon visits, {which also allows me to go a few extra weeks, if not an entire month before making another date with my stylist}.

Thinning Hair
It's normal to shed up to 150 strands of hair a day. But over time you produce less hair and the diameter of the shaft thins as growth slows, explains Dr. Jeni Thomas, principal scientist for P&G Beauty.
