No. More. Boring. Hair. Ever! Seven days, seven fresh looks. All from just one basic haircut.

1. gripes Sharp, spasmodic pains in the bowels.

2. A firm hold; a grasp.
, nearly half said the same thing: "I am totally bored with my hair!" The GL solution? Get our favorite hair guru Damon Von Osdel to pick the perfect cut and create a week's worth of super-cute styling options. "Most girls look great with a mid-length, layered cut with longish bangs," says Damon. "It's a good style because it flatters lots of hair and face types." So that's what he did for Jenna, 14, who confesses she previously wore her all-one-length blunt cut in a ponytail "about every single day!" Small changes can have a big impact, Damon tell us. "Don't be afraid to experiment. Move your part! Get bangs! Try a curling iron if you always wear it straight, or smooth it out with a flat-iron for a sleek style if you always put it up. Even short-hair girls can get in on the fun with product and cute little accessories."

MONDAY

Finish with a spritz of hairspray.
