2012 Hair Color Advice – Choosing Hair Color

Changing the color of your hair is the quickest and easiest way to change your looks. But in choosing hair color, especially if you’re coloring your hair for the first time or for a complete change from a color you’ve been accustomed to, expert hair color advice is a must. Expert or not, the first hair color advise you will get when choosing hair color is to select the right hair color . Whereas the shape of your face is the main factor in your choice for a perfect haircut, the factors in your choice for the right hair color include the color of your eyes, your skin tone, your natural hair color as well as your life style and personality.

Hair color advice – choosing hair color to complement your skin tone
Your skin tone is the most important consideration in choosing hair color. A hair color that flatters your skin tone will make the change worth it. Your skin color can either be light to fair, olive or dark on the other hand skin tone can either be warm or cool.
If you have a light or fair complexion, choose hair colors with lighter or paler shades such as a delicate shade of brown with chestnut highlights or a medium blonde with caramel or warm honey tinge or a red copper shade with gold highlights.
For women with olive skin, dark hair colors will look good on them. Potential colors that you can try are black, medium brown, dark red, dark blonde or dark brown. Since most women with olive skin have dark natural hair, going two tones darker or lighter will provide the most complimentary finish. If you have black hair, coloring it dark brown or brown is a good choice.
For dark skinned women dark deep red hair such as burgundy will give a very edgy look. For those who are not so sold on an all red hair, having dyed tips or red streaks will bring the same effect. Several shades of brown from nearly black to honey tones will also look great on women with dark skin.

Hair color advice – choosing hair color to complement your personality
In choosing hair color, it is important to choose one that suits your personality. For the bold and the daring, hot reds and sizzling coppers are perfect for your personality. For the more reserve and conservative lady, natural looking hair colors would be more appropriate such as blondes or browns. Photo Copyright of PR PHOTOS

Right Hair Color to Enhance Your Look in 2011

We have been taught since we were little that good grooming and personal hygiene should always be a part of daily activities. In other words, they must not be forgotten. The way a person looks would give a first impression of how one feels on the inside. So when someone looks untidy, it would give people an impression that the person doesn’t feel good. The saying, ”Don’t judge a book by its cover” must not be forgotten though but it shouldn’t be used as an excuse to look lousy either.

Jennifer Aniston Hair Color Formula

JENNIFER ANISTON HAIR COLOR FORMULA

Jennifer Aniston is one of the most loved actresses of our time. Many women love her hair, and there are those who will do just about anything to copy everything from her style to her color. She is always stylish, and her hair color is one of the most beautiful around. So just how do you get the same hair color as Jennifer? You’ll be happy to know that you don’t need expensive salon products – Clairol and Wella in a bottle from a drug store will work perfectly.

First you need highlights. If your hair is naturally a medium-soft brunette, then you share the same base color as Jennifer. You’ll need to use a high-lift golden blonde and 40-volume developer for highlights, and alternate with a high-lift natural blonde. Use crème developer because you want the product to be thick so that the foil won’t slip. Make streaks that are about half an inch wide and sit under a hot dryer for about 20 minutes. If your hair is another color you’ll have to dye it first.

When the 20 minutes are up, it’s time to add lowlights. You’ll want to add three foils on each side. Use a medium golden brown with 20 volume crème developer. You’ll want to make medium to thick streaks – anywhere from half an inch to three-fourths of an inch streaks – and you should add a streak to the bangs. Wait ten minutes then shampoo, condition, and towel dry. Once finished, add Golden Color Gloss by Clairol. Use a mix of 1 ounce Clairol Radiance Clear, 2 ounces Radiance Infuser, and 1 ounce 8GB Clairol Radiance. Saturate your hair, cover with a clear cap, wait 15 minutes (no heat!) then shampoo and condition.

Kara Dioguardi Hair Color

While brunette hair like what Kara Dioguardi has is fairly common, it it is quite pretty. Dark hair suits many people and is very popular. In fact, it is one of the most common colors that people dye their hair! Those who are extremely fair do not always look great in dark hair colors like Kara’s, but for most people, it’s a great change.

It isn’t difficult to get the same hair color that Kara has. If you are naturally brunette, then you are in luck! If your hair is a lighter brunette, you may want to darken it to a deep dark brown. Or you could simply add highlights and not worry about it, making this style all your own. If your hair is any other color, then you should have it colored to be the same color as Kara’s – a deep, rich, dark brown. This hair color is well-suited for most skin tones, and will look wonderful on almost everyone. You can color your hair yourself if you want, but if you’ve never colored your hair or you have any doubts about getting the proper color, then it’s best to go to a professional. Take a picture of Kara’s hair with you so that the stylist will be able to give you exactly what you want. Saying “brown” can cover a lot of ground with a stylist so make sure to show them a picture.

You’ll also need to add some highlights. To get hair like Kara’s it will probably be best to use highlights that are a honey blonde. This will give you definite highlights that will be warm and sexy. Other great colors to use are lighter browns, different blondes, and even reds. Don’t just copy Kara’s style – make it all your own! You should also consider using lowlights. Lowlights are great ways to help bring your highlights out more and are excellent for this kind of hair. Use lowlights that are complementary to your highlights and make sure that you don’t upstage your highlights. Depending on your hair, you can get lowlights done every two weeks or even once a month, but highlights might need more touching up. See a professional if you are unsure about your highlights!

CHESTNUT BLONDE HAIR COLOR

Many people enjoy coloring their hair. It is a great – and oftentimes cheap – way of completely changing their style, without actually changing their haircut. A blonde can look like a completely different person when she dyes her hair red, while a brunette can become a blonde in minutes. Hair coloring is a big business, and many people dye their hair once a month or whenever the mood strikes them.

There are many ways to mix and match your hair color. You can simply buy a bottle of honey blonde, and have honey blonde hair. Or you can dye your hair dark chestnut, and then add blonde highlights. You can even mix two colors and get a completely new color. One example of this is chestnut blonde hair. Chestnut is a very attractive dark brown hair color. It has lots of natural highlights and lowlights, and is very complimentary on just about everyone. Blonde is the second darkest version of blonde hair. It’s almost like a lighter brown, but has much more gold in it.

Mixing the two will give you a light brown hair color with warm, golden tones and lots of eye-catching highlights. Another way you could get this color is to dye your hair chestnut first, then use the blonde to add highlights. It’s quite a contrast, but the colors are not so different that it will be the first thing people see when they look at you, yet will still stand out enough to get attention while being highly attractive. You could even turn it around, and add chestnut highlights to blonde hair, a look sure to get many complements.
