Fresh off her break up from My Boys actor Kyle Howard, Lauren Conrad is making changes - starting at the top!

Friday on her website, The Beauty Department, Lauren posted a picture of a multi-color highlighted style and asked her fans if she should do it. Over 21,000 people voted for her to "Do It," and she did.

"You voted and I did it. Thanks for playing. Have a safe holiday weekend. XO Lauren"

Her latest foray into the reality TV world didn’t work out, but fear not, Lauren Conrad is anything but bored. The former MTV starlet, author and budding fashion designer today launched thebeautydepartment.com, a website full of hair and makeup tips she’s procured over the years. 

The photo and video how-tos star Conrad, plus her longtime hairstylist, Kristin Ess, and her makeup artist, Amy Nadine. 

Conrad says that before joining forces with her glam team, she often turned to fashion magazines for beauty help — often unsuccessfully. “Growing up, I never really learned how to do my hair and makeup correctly and the results weren’t always great,” Conrad said in a release. “Our goal with The Beauty Department is to provide girls and young women with a basic how-to of simplified versions of popular trends and styles that they can recreate themselves.” 

The site covers hair and makeup basics, as well as health-related beauty topics, like sun protection. Readers can also submit questions, which the trio will attempt to answer online.
