White on Black Defines A New Hair Color Trend

“White on Black Hair Color, a New Trend”

When I first saw a new version of a white on black hair coloring, well let me just say it wasn’t especially memorable. But just as it takes a creative to bring to light something new, once the idea is out there, others will go with it and turn it into something all together new again. 

What blows me away about the new black on white hair coloring trend is that in subtle variations on the technique, the identity of the wearer is dramatically changed. First and foremost this white on black hair color solicits stares, demands attention and is altogether striking. What it portrays of the wearer after that, has all to do with the placement of hair color and the style of the haircut. Romantic, rockzilla, original, sophisticated, magical, witchy or punked-out are just some of the adjectives that would equally describe the artful and colorful wearer of white on black hair coloring.

The new cool hair coloring of platinum or bright ivory with hints of dark gray and black defines this look. I’ve noticed all the hairstyles I’ve seen this striking new white on black hair color on, have been on healthy, shiny, smoothed out hair styles. The smooth shiny texture adds to the mystique and beauty of this look. (To wear this hairstyle on dry frizzy dry hair brings to mind the wild woman look, as with the wigged out, white on black hair that Madeline Kahn wore in Young Frankenstein.)
 

If you’re looking for a new image, keep your eyes open for the endless variations that will show up with this striking look!!

Help! My hair is black with yellow highlights.

Sarah asks:

Your hairstylist had the right idea. The process they went through in doing a heavy highlighting hair color process thoughout your head and then toning back to a brown hair color was a good one.  What wasn’t good . . . was the formula they used to tone back as the color didn’t hold for even a week.

“Funky Hair Coloring”

Was the hair color satisfactory to you when you left the salon? My guess is that it was or you would have told them you wanted it fixed immediately. If that’s the case, the level they used to color the highlighted areas was good but the developer wasn’t right.

My suggestion is to call your hairstylist and tell them what happened. At this point, they can adjust the formula and color back the hair with less damage and better coverage than what you might end up with in trying to do it yourself. They should be anxious to get it right for you. Don’t wait any longer to contact them.

As long as they had your hair color satisfactory to you when you left the salon, and they didn’t let you leave with yellow highlights on black hair,  I would trust them to be able to get it right.  You don’t have to put up with funky hair color!

Hair Care Products Voted Best By Hairstyling Professionals

“Hair Care Product Award Winners”

How many of you have problems when it comes to choosing the right hair care products? Do you have an arsenal of unused hair care products that basically just take up space in your cabinets?

Most of us fall right into the hands of the professional marketers who bombard our psyches with promises of softer, shinier, thicker, sexier hair if we just use their new and improved product. Hydratherape Hydrating Shampoo, Reparative Shampoo, Volumizing Shampoo, Rich Moisture Coconut Mango Shampoo . . . you get the picture, there are more agonizing choices to be made here than any human being should be put to test. Which one is right for you?

If you are looking to switch products or the hair care product you have been using is falling short, here is an easy way to narrow down your choices . . . the professionals have done it for you.

The 8th annual “Stylist Choice Awards” will be held June 1st at the Hard Rock Live, Universal Studios, Orlando, Florida. The “Premiere Beauty Show” and Behindthechair.com work together to bring us stylists top choices of the past year. This is a BIG event with big names like, Vidal Sassoon, Ken Paves and Nick Arrojo to only name a few. So they draw thousands to this fun and eventful show. The “Stylists Choice Awards” is part of it and they will give the #1 choice in all categories of hair care products, styling tools and then some.

Now, why not simplify your life and choose from the professionals faves? After all, they are the ones who see and feel the results of these products on a daily basis in every hair type. I’m a professional and I can get overwhelmed when choosing new hair care products to use. 

Here are the Top 5 Finalists for the main categories. These finalists were tabulated after months of membership voting at behindthechair.com. These will be narrowed down to one winner in each catagory at the Premier Beauty Show on June 1st.  I will post the results at that time for you also. 

Meanwhile, this is a smart list to choose from when you find yourself dissatisfied with your current hair care product and don’t know what to choose . . . they are the top of the heap from thousands of professionals who voted.
