Hair 101: Summer Hair Color

Lauren Conrad

The easiest way to play with dramatic hair color is by playing with the tips of the hair. The ends of the hair can easily be trimmed off at the end of the summer or just washed off depending on the type of hair dye. Try using hair chalk on the first try to figure out the perfect color!

Justine Skye

An all over hair tint gives the perfect subtly of dramatic color. A dark shade of purple, like Justine Skye's, isn't utterly dramatic but still gives a punch of edge.  

Kesha

For the wild and crazy nights of summer, rainbow hair is perfect! Kesha keeps the sophistication and "normalcy" by keeping the rest of the hair in a cool manner.

Hair 101: Hair Chalking

Chloe Grace Moretz

Hair chalking is a fun andd unique way to add a pop of color to your hair without the commitment! I have seen pictures of celebrities such as Lauren Conrad and Chloe Grace Moretz sport daring hair streaks that make me ask the question, how do you do that?  I have done a ton of research and figured out exactly how to create the look! All you need is pastel chalk, hairspray, and a heat styling tool.

1. Begin by wet your hair and sectioning off the peices of hair you want to color.
2. Take your chalk and furiously, without breaking/pulling out the hair, rub the chalk along the peices of hair.
3. Let the hair get about 50% dry and spray the peice with hair spray.
4. Curl or flat iron your hair to seal in the hair color from the chalked peices.

Hair chalking is just that easy! Lighter colored hair has the best results with hair chalking, but darker hair can still be chalked. Be aware that some people have had their hair become extremely hard and hard to brush after hair chalking. The hair chalk will go away after 1 or 2 washes.

Hair 101: Ombre Hair Color



Raven Symone

Drew Barrymore

Alexa Chung

Hilary Duff

Ombre hair color is so cool and beautiful, definitely my favorite hair trend ever! I could not help but gather lots of pictures to share of ombre hair and the gorgeous ladies sporting the trend. All the women range in ages, color, and hair length, ombre hair color works for everyone. Raven Symone stays chic and straightens her hair which really shows off the dark color going into the nice honey brown. I love that she stayed in the brown shade and did not go all the way into a bright blonde. Drew Barrymore is such a risk taker, not only is her hair ombre but she has added in braids and waves. Drew is very cool and daring with her hair and extremely confident. Alexa Chung is showing all the short hair ladies that they can still have ombre hair color and still give off the same affect.  Hilary Duff looks gorgeous, her hair is in nice waves that aren't to clean cut which really lets her ombre hair color stand out.

Hair 101: Dip Dyed Hair



Jessie J

Jessie J is always bold! I love the contrast between the purple and black in her hair.

Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez shocked me when she put blue and purple in hair. The colors are very vibrant, but she is confident and rocks it!

Jordin Sparks

Jordin Sparks is gorgeous! The purple blends well with her natural hair color and is just perfect. I wonder how it looks curly.

The dip dyed hair trend has been seen on many celebrities and every day people. I love the trend, but only when done right. My favorite dip dyed hair look is on Jordin Sparks. Jordin Sparks' colored hair blends in to look almost natural, but still fun and unexpected. Never go to bright with dip dyed hair, it may take away from your whole look and most importantly your beautiful face. I am not one to use hair color on my hair, but if I did I would love to try dip dyed hair.

How do you feel about dip dyed hair?
