Hair Styles and Colors

The People make assumptions about redheads that may or may not be true, but what is true is that if you go red, you may feel a burst of power. Try streaking your brown hair with coppery red, or even a combination of red and gold highlights. For bored brunettes, streaking or foiling is a great option, being dramatic and playful without going over the edge.

Blonds can have more fun with reverse highlighting; adding deeper shades in wide or narrow streaks to their natural color. If you used it too frequently, the harsher chemicals in the permanent hair colors can turn your hair to straw, and may even turn it a scary and unexpected color if you try to set more color on top of a recent dye job. If you're going to play with your hair color on the weekends, never use the permanent variety and then try to reverse it in less than several weeks. Funky, chunky highlights can be rectified nearly overnight with another color, as long as you use the wash-in-wash-out type that aren't made to last.

If you want to try a new color look but can’t make up your mind, get one of the temporary hair colors that will wash out in six or eight shampoos. It takes a little time, a little money plus a little risk. You can never imagine the hair color for you if you don’t try it on you for real. Just don't be afraid to experiment on yourself until find the best color that works on you.
