Of course, at hairstyle blog, we totally believe if you get the hair thing right, you’re more than half way there! Whomever you choose to emulate this Halloween, try a spray in hair color, dye it, put some hair bling in it, or simply pick up some costume hair and be done with it!

#1 Costume hair to emulate . . .

Going for Costume Hair 1st prize? Go Gaga meat dress!!

Go Gaga with some icy blonde costume hair!

Go Gaga costume hair! It has to start with Lady Gaga wouldn’t you agree? We have an overabundance of material to work with here . . . but I think if you can put together a couple of rib eyes, combined with some flank steaks and two eye of the round . . . I think you have a good chance of taking home costume hair 1^st prize!

Pick up some short, medium or long icy blonde costume hair, put on some oversized sunglasses and have a good day. It’s inevitable, costume shops far and wide will be oozing with Lady Gaga costume hair, meat dresses and who knows what!

Robert Pattinson

A quick 2^nd to Gaga costume hair and attire would have to be costumes of the vampire nature! Twilighters everywhere must be so excited!! Here is your chance to sink your teeth into it for real!

Guys, your vampire costume requires some dark clothing, pale make-up, (don’t forget the eyeliner and dark sultry eyebrows) and a little bit of gel. If you can’t get your hair style to mirror Robert’s, there is sure to be some costume hair at your local costume haunts. Oh . . . and don’t forget to practice your best ‘come hither’ look ahead of time to score the tastiest bites!

DWTS Pamela Anderson sexy, sultry, wild child

What you need here is not just the wild child hair (costume hair) or a little pink slinky, sparkly, sexy little dress . . . you better have the gams and the rest of the package to go with it or . . . leave it alone!

Think alien! Neytiri or Jake Sully

Think blue! Braided costume hair, cat-like stripes and yellow eyes to complete your Avatar look-alike. Plenty of money saving coupons here for this look;

Johnny - the scissorhands - Depp – appropriate for a hair site right?

Captain Jack Sparrow is a shoe-in!

Nobody does a costumed character better than JD! We were originally only going to include Edward Scissorhands, perfectly scary, maybe a bit cumbersome to pull off, but with the depth of Depps talents . . . there’s no better looking classic pirate or Mad Hatter (Believe us, costume hair is the easiest way to go here.)

Too cute to not include!

Blonde Hair Colour

Katherine Heigl Goes for a Blonde Hair Dye

Summer is on the way out and as you reminisce about warm, sunny days, you might decide you want to keep a little of that sunshine in your hair with a blonde hair dye. You’ll be following in the footsteps of Grey’s Anatomy star Katherine Heigl, who went brunette earlier this year, but has recently had a blonde hair dye and returned to her signature light blonde bob.“Blonde Hair Dye Protection Tips”

Blonde Hair Dye Tip #1 — Look after your hair in advance

Whether you choose to go to a hair salon for your blonde hair dye or brave the hair dying process on your own, you will always achieve the best results if your hair is in good condition before you subject your hair to blonde hair dye. Investing in top quality, moisturising hair care products, such as those by Kerastase, is one way to ensure your hair stays shiny and healthy before and after the blonde dye process.

Blonde Hair Dye Tip #2 — Be aware of the effects of bleach in blonde hair dye

If you are going three or more shades lighter than your natural hair colour, it is likely you will be using bleach in the blonde hair dye process. Bleach will have the effect of stripping out moisture from the hair and can leave it dry and brittle. This is another reason to prepare yourself in advance with professional shampoos and conditioners such as the Aveda hair products designed for blonde hair dye, which will preserve a strong, healthy and glowing lustre, even after using a strong blonde hair dye bleach.

Blonde Hair Dye Tip #3 — Get your hair professionally dyed

If you want to avoid blonde hair dye horror stories such as hair turning orange, green or even falling out, a professional dye job at a hair salon is the best way to go, and you may be advised that high lights will give you a more natural and long-lasting. If you do choose to save your pennies and do a blonde hair dye at home, be sure to get advice from your hairdresser beforehand on the safest ways to do so without causing permanent damage.

Hair Colors for Your Skin Tone

Is Your Hair Color Aging You?

What the Pros are saying!

Master hair colorists concur that Mother Nature is the mastermind when it comes to knowing what hair color is best for your skin tone. Just think of it, before you started playing around with hair color did you need to ask the question; “What hair color is best for my skin tone?” And, as of yet, have you seen a kid with hair color too dark, too light, or with a natural hair color that doesn’t work with their skin tone??

That’s right, the next time you find yourself asking the question; “What hair color is best for my skin tone?” consider going with a base color that mirrors the hair color you had at 10 years old! From that point the right hair colors for your skin tone can be added as warm or cool high lights or lowlights.“Hair Skin Tone Coloring is Important”

If you are under 30, you may be able to get away with wearing hair colors that are far from your natural hair color. But, skin tone changes over the years and hair colors that once looked good can now look harsh or ashen and even make you look sickly . . . ugggh!

Take this questionnaire to find out your skin tone!

Ashy or Pale Hair Skin Tones

• Add warmer high lights, golden or honey, to your natural base hair color.

Pink or Ruddy Hair Skin Tones

• Add cooler tones of ash brown or icy blondes to off-set the redness.

Dimensional Hair Color

Multiple shades of cool or warm tones added to your base color adds dimension to the hair.

• Brunettes can add caramel hair high lights for warmth. Mocha or chocolate colors for depth.
• Red heads might add copper or golden high lights to brighten, or shades of brown to deepen to a shade of auburn.

Fall hair colors this year have tones with names like mocha, chocolate, icy blondes and fiery reds! Check out the chart of hair colors for more ideas!
