    /

    I’m sure many of you are welcoming Fall with a new hair color and cut. I’m still not done experimenting with new hues this season, so I thought it would be great to post how to get your perfect shag with tips that celebrity hairstylist shared with Glamour magazine in July 2009: Start with the right cut.

    Like generations of families, I too grew up with JOHNSON’S® Baby products and their classic scent and feel.
