Mid-length hair style that certainly is not boring

• THE CUT ~~ Mid-length hair is incredibly versatile when you pay attention to details. When women want to keep as much length as possible, Frances DuBose of London Hair in Mt. Peasant, SC, puts most of the focus on the ends. By lightly razoring sections in front, she adds an airy, feathery feeling to hair that’s otherwise blunt and thick.

• THE COLOR ~~ Blonde this bright usually comes from lightening, then toning hair. To keep the hair color in the realm of reality, a few golden highlights are also added for depth and dimension. Depending on your natural hair color, you will have to make a commitment to upkeep, but isn’t the best of blondes worth it?

   

• HOW TO STYLE IT ~~ After combing mousse through damp hair, dry most of it by using a wide paddle brush and large sections. When hair is damp, add lift and curve at the sides, then curve the ends forward and flip them up. To help hair hold, mist ends underneath with finishing spray.

Forego Root Touch Ups For a While . . . Dark Roots are Hot!

If you have an appointment to have your dark roots touched up by your local hair stylists, save the $60 according to the hot celebrity hair stylists like Ken Paves. Frédéric Fekkai, hair stylists are calling it “root shading” and charges $265 and of course you can buy wigs with dark roots hair if you shop around.

“hair stylists are calling
 it root shading”

Dark roots or root shading is the latest Hollywood hair style trend. The media is all atwitter over this one, I’ve seen stories on Entertainment Tonight, People Magazine and now this article from the Los Angeles Times all talking about the latest craze “Dark Roots”. It seems that celebrity hair style watchers have seen: Jessica Simpson sporting them lately, as have Nicole Richie, Drew Barrymore, Ashlee Simpson, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and Amanda Bynes, Heather Graham, Devon Aoki and Madonna all with dark roots recently.

I’m not sure I like the trend myself, I think as a culture we are going swinging too far away from center on the casual look trend. Last Friday I went out for an annual outing with some friends. We’ve made this a dress up event and have been going to an upscale trendy restaurants. At a nearby table we had a gentleman who wore jeans, a flannel shirt (not tucked in) and a camouflage baseball cap. We lamented the loss of the days of mandatory coat and tie. There is just something about the way we feel as humans when we are all dressed up, it makes us act a little more civil and cosmopolitan.

Oh well . . . I’m sure I’ll get some comments on this one from those of you who disagree, so have at it.
