Channel Your Inner Blonde Bombshell!

If you're looking for a way to punch up your look for summer try adding a few highlights. For this client I added some blonde highlights to enhance her already chocolate brown hair. For a more dramatic effect we also added a few clip- in extensions. FUN!

Fancy Word Of The Day....Ombre!

There is a new color craze taking over..... Ombre!

Ombre is both a French and Italian word meaning 'shaded or shadow'. This highlighting technique is used to give the appearance of 'grown out' highlights and sunkissed ends. The technique is best used on medium to long length hair. Depending on preference touch ups are needed only 2-3 times per year.

You may want to consider Ombre highlights if you:

1. prefer low-maintenance, natural looking highlights (ombre highlights grow out beautifully and are virtually maintenance free).

2. are bored with solid, dark hair and want a boost of color without a total commitment to highlights.

3. have always wanted to be blonde but worried the traditional all-over blonde highlights would make you look washed out.

Ok ladies one of the key things when deciding to get color is visiting a reputable stylist who specializes in color. Take some examples of the look that you are going for like the pictures above.

Beyonce Goes Blonder

Beyonce is sporting noticeably lighter locks these days. If you're looking to lighten up this season be sure to do so within reason. Be sure to consult with your stylist but if you have naturally dark hair lightening up only two to three levels would be my recommendation. Take a page out of Beyonce's book and avoid overstyling and let the color speak for itself.

Who Says Blondes Have More Fun?

First it was the Bob and then it was the Mohawk, so when Rihanna debuted her Red Hot Hue we should have known that this would be one of the hair trends for Spring /Summer 2011. For those of you not looking to go as bold as Rihanna, there are some more subtle options out there. The most fashionable shades are warm reds and copper reds, the colors we tend to see from the natural red heads, there are also some options with cooler tones. Be sure to consult your stylist to find out what hue suits you best, but overall be daring and GO FOR IT!
