Do Brunettes Have More Fun?

I recently came across this article in USWeekly about Nicole Richie going from Blonde to Brunette.   It only serves to reinforce what I have been blogging about.
 
Nicole Richie ditched her blonde locks to unveil a new brunette look at her House of Harlow 1960 Holiday Collection jewelry launch at the weekend — and the chocolate locks already has the party girl-turned-serious mom’s I.Q. rising:



“I went brunette. I feel smarter already,” Nicole Tweeted Sunday.


"I did it about a week-and-a-half ago," the mother-of-two, 28, told Usmagazine.com when asked about her new look. "I change my hair color all the time, and I hadn't done it in a few years. With the babies, I just really hadn't had time. I'm so used to having that change all the time, and I hadn't done it in about two years, so I was just ready and sick of being blonde! I was ready for a change!"

A New Look A New Year

CLICK HERE to go directly to the blog.


Should I change my hair color?  Do I change it dramatically or is there a way to enhance what I have without looking like I am trying too hard?  There is an easy answer to these questions.

Highlights and Lowlights

Highlights and lowlights are better options at providing a new look without major color change. With so many complimentary hues to apply, there are plenty of choices. Coffee browns, honey blondes, and light blondes are just a few great complimentary colors. Highlights and lowlights add flair to regular hair color by infusing it with colors to heighten the style and for adding depth and varying color appearance. These methods are all great ways to change up the hairstyle for the new year. The color change helps create a different look without the need for major additions.

Hair Color Tip

Frequent variances from darker shades to lighter ones or darker ones to lighter ones can really damage the hair cuticle and cortex which can cause the hair to become damaged and not be able to hold color. Sticking to a hair color for a while, using highlights or lowlights for color options, or choosing colors near natural color are better options that opposing color reversals.
