Charlize Theron’s Buttery Blond
KEY COLOR NOTES “This is just such a bright sexy blond,” says colorist Denis De Souza, who works with celebrities like Mila Kunis, Olivia Wilde and Rachel Bilson. “To make it work for fall, just be sure to amp up your makeup a bit. That way you won’t look washed out.” De Souza also points out that because the tone is slightly ashy, it’s best reserved for women with fair skin. “Otherwise you get too contrast-y,” he adds.

Get long, cascading curls with high shine. First, wash and deep condition so you get a healthy, glossy shine. Dry hair with a round brush. Then use a large curling iron and, alternating two-inch sections, roll hair around the barrel in one direction and then again in the other direction to create a ripple effect. Once you’re done, spritz everything with an aerosol shine spray.
First, consider a few layers. “The longest styles look even longer right after a good cut that adds movement even if it takes off half an inch,” says NYC stylist. If you haven’t gotten to the stylist yet, use a curling iron and roll two- to three-inch sections halfway up the barrel. Spritz with hairspray and then pull the curls out so they turn into long, loose waves at the bottom.
To get perfect, tight curls sans frizz, you need a cut that supports your curl pattern. Make sure to tell your stylist that you wear your hair naturally so she can give you the cut you need. Make sure to deep-condition overnight so you get that extra dose of moisture coarse curls need. Run a thick leave-in conditioner and serum through your hair.

Are you embarrassed to go out in public without wearing a hat? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then our tips for damaged hair will help you. Don’t worry, there’s no fluff here. These are proven effective tips for damaged hair that will help you regain your mane’s alluring body and radiant natural shine.
1) One of the main sources of hair damage is dryness. Without sufficient moisture, the hair shaft becomes brittle and easily broken or damaged. Talk to your stylist and make sure you’re using a top-quality shampoo and conditioner (you may want to ask if your stylist has any other tips for damaged hair).
In addition, leaving your conditioner in your hair for an additional 2-5 minutes will help provide the moisture your hair needs to help heal damaged hair. When moisturizing, pay special attention to the tips and ends of your hair.
2) Trade in your hairbrush for a wide-toothed comb to limit hair breakage.
Damaged hair is all too easily damaged further by rough styling. You should avoid rubber bands, headbands and hats as well — all are associated with increased hair damage.
3) Coppola keratin complex treatment
This revolutionary smoothing system infuses Keratin deep into the hair cuticle, eliminating up to ninety-five percent of frizz and curl and leaving the hair smooth, shiny and luxurious. Results typically last 3 to 5 months depending on hair type.
Client testimonials refer to Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy as “life changing.” It rejuvenates and revitalizes the hair, giving it a softer, silkier feel that everyone raves about. Give it a try and now and see what all the buzz is about…
1) fight the frizz – to avoid frizz, be sure to deep condition your curls at least once a week. This will help to fortify and silken dry, damaged hair, restoring moisture for flawless results.
2) swimmer’s hair – one of the easiest curly hair tips for swimming is to wet your hair in tap water before jumping into the pool. This will help prevent too much absorption of chlorinated water. You can also protect your hair with a leave-in-conditioner. Reapply to protect your hair as it dries in the sun.
3) condition, condition, condition – to maintain your curly, no-frizz locks, follow these curly hair tips to keep your hair hydrated and conditioned. Start by keeping yourself hydrated by drinking water throughout the day. By keeping your body hydrated, you are keeping your hair healthy.
For extra hydration, use hydrating shampoos and conditioners. Massage the hydrating shampoo into your hair thoroughly. Rinse completely and lather in the hydrating conditioner. Let the conditioner sit for a few minutes then rinse with tepid water. Try to avoid shampooing your curly hair every day to prevent it from drying even further.
4) turn down the heat – try to limit the use of blow driers and other hot items on your hair. To keep your curly hair looking healthy and styled without using any hot products, consider using a leave in product after washing your hair. You can use either a hair serum or hair gel after washing your hair and let your hair air dry for a more natural look without the damage of heat styling.
5) protect your hair in style – flaunt your curls and go out in style, even in the heat! Protect your hair by wearing colorful headscarves or summer hats. This will keep your hair from having direct contact with the sun

Anyone who’s had more than a passing acquaintance with blonde highlights will have felt a painful shudder of recognition yesterday when they saw Jennifer Aniston’s new hairdo.
This is not a sensation associated with Ms Aniston. Because, for all Jen’s reported girl-next-door appeal, she usually looks as sleek, glossy and expensive as a brand-new cashmere sweater.
This week, however, she stepped out in front of the paparazzi to promote her latest film revealing a new haircut that not only didn’t suit her, but looked (whisper it) rather cheap.
Brassily blonde, with little in the way of contrast and shimmer, it was the sort of dye job you might expect your teenage daughter to pull off in a dimly-lit bathroom with a packet from a High Street chemist.
The sort of dye job, indeed, that has happened to all of us civilians from time to time, intentional or otherwise.
It’s very un-Jen though. For while the lady has had more than her fair share of romantic disasters, she normally doesn’t put a follicle wrong when it comes to her hairdo.
Long hair
When it comes to the year’s fashion trends a lot of 2011 will focus on embellished, quality details – it won’t be exactly the same for 2011 hairstyles, however. Quality, yes. Embellishment, not always. 2011 won’t be a year in which hair trends are based around adornments and accessories – yes, there’ll be headbands, but there’ll be a larger push towards styles that are au naturel.
Long hair with long, mid and short layers will always provide you with the luxury of bounce, body and fullness of hair. If you’re looking for a change, adding bangs to the cut will enhance the style leaving you loving your new style and feeling great.
Short hair
Waved bob: As the longer bob creeps its way into our 2011 hair trends guide, the question starts to arise: if you go down the path of a shoulder-length bob, how do you keep it interesting and varied? Most of the examples we’ve seen have leaned to straight, or with a modern take on the 70s-glam-blow wave. But here’s another trend that’s arising as a result of 2011’s shoulder-scraping cut: the waved bob.
With the bob in 2011 being generally longer and softer, it’s much easier to pull off a waved style with it. While 40s-inspired pin curls are one option, here’s one that’s more suited to everyday. A casual, textured, beachy wave.
Hair cuts (change/enhance)
When it comes to picking your haircut for 2011 there’s one thing you need to know: the year’s fashion is all about revivals. Revivals of the 60s, revivals of the 70s, and revivals of more recent looks. And as it is for fashion, so too is it for 2011’s haircuts.
In 2011 the most on trend haircuts take their influences from the 20th century, with short haircuts influences by the 1960s and mid-length haircuts influenced by the 1970s. Read on for more information on 2011’s haircut trends.
Fringe / bangs: Trends can sweep in as if on an unstoppable avalanche, changing the landscape entirely (until they run their cycle); such is what the fringe (bangs) did back in 2007. But it doesn’t have to end there. Some can drift on, lingering, having smaller bursts of renewed vigor. This year the fringe makes one such return as a 2011 hair trend.
Christmas! The very word brings joy to our hearts. No matter how we may dread the rush, the long Christmas lists for gifts and cards to be bought and given – when Christmas Day comes there is still the same warm feeling we had as children, the same warmth that enfolds our hearts and our homes. ~Joan Winmill Brown
