How to Find the Right Hair Color

“Find the Right Hair Color”Want to follow in the stars footsteps? Here are tips on finding the right hair color that is just right for you without tears.

1. Take a test drive, The easiest way is to try a wig or a virtual hairstyle makeover, until you find a hair color that suits you well, If a hair color scares you, then you shouldn’t follow through. Or if you even have slight doubts, begin with lowlights and work your way into it.
2. Talk to a Professional. A professional coloroist will get you the best hair color for your skin tone and color result. Always talk to your stylist/colorist to see what they recommend. Some people tend to rely on their friends’ and families’ ideas, which is never really the best.
3. Style with the seasons. Brunette is always a nice hair color in the winter when hair is naturally darker anyway. The darker hair color tones can give a bit more strength and edge to your look, which after summer’s many natural beach-y looks can be a nice change.

Monroe Teasing Brush 

My local Aerial Beauty Supply Store staff is all over the new boar bristle Monroe Teasing U Brush the new brush claims to be ‘user friendly’ on your hair. The combination of high and low rows of boar bristles create a more effective style and teasing friendly hairstyling tool. Also because the handle is made of wood it won’t break when carried in your purse, like the plastic teasing combs. Although the brush is thin, it’s about 9 inches long so you’ll need your roomier purse for this one.
