Blonde For Non-Blondes

If you love light hair but fear pairing pale shades with your skin tone, this mostly light look may be the perfect solution. Nutmeg-hued bangs and roots keep darker tones around your face, but the quick transition to vanilla lengths gives the impression of beautiful brightness. The melting point sits at the round of the head, where light hits the hair; emphasizing this point increases visual shine for a healthy, glossy finish. The contrast between blunt bangs and choppy ends is a delightful complement to color variations. To get this flattering look in a few simple steps, click style notes.

Step: The key to achieving this color placement is starting with a great cut that combines thick, blunt bangs and soft, weightless lengths with diffused ends. Without the fringe this look will loose it’s depth.

Step: When choosing colors for this application, make sure to choose rich, saturated hues that are at least a few levels apart. Don’t be scared to take the blonde bright; you can go lighter than ever before because of the dark frame around the face acts as the
counter-balance.

Step: Ask your Lattouf Hair colorist for a dip dye that starts at the edge of the fringe. When your roots grow in simply touch up the dark shade. If desired, every three to four applications, the light color can be pulled in closer to the roots.

Peeking Pastels

In this image, pastel and jewel tones come together in elegantly smudged layers of cool hues. Like the blended finish of a watercolor painting, this vibrant look is bright and clear –– with dazzling shades of violet and blue offsetting sparks of silver and beige. The sophisticated cut has shorter, tapered lengths underneath, which allows the longer strands of the fringe and crown to move with liquid fluidity.
An eye-skimming front lends a playful sexiness to the shape. To get this artful look in a few simple steps, 
Step: Shape and color work together to create this look. Start with an undercut area from temples to nape. This will collapse the hair underneath and provide a backdrop for the surface texture.
Step: Color the shorter undercut in a dark tone and lift the strand on top to a bright cool blonde. Tone the blonde with a platinum shade, then add bright pieces with hair chalk or semi-permanent color.
Step: Use color save shampoo and conditioner to keep vibrancy and prevent color bleeding between the intermingled shades.

Lindsay Lohan stepped out in her new red hair in early October claiming that it's actually the wrong color than it's supposed to be, although see has obviously decided to keep the color stepping out again at the premiere of her new film "Liz & Dick" with soft red curls and an ivory slip dress that left little to the imagination. 

Snooki from Jersey Shore is also seeing red...She has just dyed her usually dark hair a bright shade of red. 

And Snooki ensured she showed off her distinctive locks to full effect, by teaming sporting a matching pair of leather trousers.

Forever Changing

Varying their choices from month to month; meet some of fashions hair yoyo's 

Switching from glam to grunge on a weekly basis.

Rihanna has a catalogue of stylistic tricks up her sleeve.

A cropped Riri scrubbed up nicely in a demure white gown for this year's Met Ball; and then ruptured this sleek image with a catalogue of almost entirely male shirts and low slung shorts for her recent 777 tour.

While Kelly Osbourne 's shift away from her lengthy teenage grunge phase deserves an essay in itself, the reality TV starlet still seems to be finding her fashion feet. August 2012 saw a scruffy-haired Kelly while September shifted to a no-nonsense, top-knotted attempt at high fashion, with Tim Burton's Willy Wonka shades on for good measure.

The lyrics of Nicki Minaj' s 2012 single 'Va Va Voom' have certainly got under the singer's skin; or in the mind of her stylist, at least. From just September to October this year, the singer embraced a whole colour palette of neon and bubblegum hues in her hair. Long may she never find muted shades.
