Before: Brianne Aumack, 31

“My hair has been like this for quite some time,” says Brianne, a logistics coordinator at a fashion company and the mother of an 18-month-old boy. But with a job, a long commute, and a toddler, she doesn’t have a lot of time for styling. “When I don’t blow-dry it, it doesn’t get straight,” she says. “It’s thick and has a mind of its own.” Though she’d prefer to keep her hair long, “I’d like a look that’s a mix of youthful and professional—it can’t be too crazy.”
