The singer was snapped leaving Moscow airport today with another new hair colour and it looks like she's getting into the festive spirit because she's updated her locks from auburn to gold. We can't quite tell if she's added metallic hair extensions or just got the spray paint out but it's official: Gaga has gone goldilocks

Hair Colour Inspiration: Raspberry Red

Hair Color Inspiration: Raspberry Red

 

Fruity and bright, this berry hue is a perfect choice for the when everything else is getting a bit cooler. Both vivid and organic, this shade strikes the perfect balance between natural and vibrant. Cool undertones make it suitable sun-deprived skin while bright tone has the luscious appeal of spring flowers. Getting this delicate shade can be tricky, so I’ve included my favorite formula for achieving the tone. For maximum reflection this color should be applied to previously uncolored hair that is the same level or lighter. If hair has been previously color, a cleanse should be performed to take the level slightly lighter than the target level 6, this will allow for maximum translucency and shine.

Hairdressing formulas below.

For the hairdressers:

Technique:
Apply Formula A to roots and then immediately pull formula B through from mid-shaft to ends. Process for thirty minutes, rinse and shampoo thoroughly. Apply formula C from root to end, and process for 10-20 minutes, or until desired tone is achieved. Rinse, condition and style and desired.

Formulas:
A. Goldwell Topchic 1 part 7RO + 2 Parts 6R with 10 Volume
B. Goldwell Topchic 1 part 7RO + 1 Part 6RR with 20 Volume
C. Goldwell Colorance 6VV + Colorance Acid Lotion

Forever Changing

Varying their choices from month to month; meet some of fashions hair yoyo's 

Switching from glam to grunge on a weekly basis.

Rihanna has a catalogue of stylistic tricks up her sleeve.

A cropped Riri scrubbed up nicely in a demure white gown for this year's Met Ball; and then ruptured this sleek image with a catalogue of almost entirely male shirts and low slung shorts for her recent 777 tour.

While Kelly Osbourne 's shift away from her lengthy teenage grunge phase deserves an essay in itself, the reality TV starlet still seems to be finding her fashion feet. August 2016 saw a scruffy-haired Kelly while September shifted to a no-nonsense, top-knotted attempt at high fashion, with Tim Burton's Willy Wonka shades on for good measure.

The lyrics of Nicki Minaj' s 2016 single 'Va Va Voom' have certainly got under the singer's skin; or in the mind of her stylist, at least. From just September to October this year, the singer embraced a whole colour palette of neon and bubblegum hues in her hair. Long may she never find muted shades.

On Trend Colour

Muted Pastel Violet

This color carries a mix of delicate floral beauty and weedy toughness. The muted pastel red violet is unusual but on trend, and less expected than plain pink or blue. Try it alone, weave it through a deep brown base, or add a few violet tips to a pale blonde. However you use it, this stand out shade is sure to get noticed. Read on for the professional formulation and application tips.

Tips: Pre-lighten strands to a level 10 before applying the tone. If the hair is very porous, use less P mix to prevent ashiness. If using as a highlight, pair with a deep brown shade that has violet undertones, like Goldwell Topchic 5BP, 4BP, or 5RB.

Formula: (On pre-lightened level 10 hair)

Goldwell Colorance 3 parts 7PK + 1 part P Mix with Colorance Acid Lotion.

Cascading Curls At The Emmy’s

Click through for steps on how to create this glam read carpet look in your own hair.

Peeking Pastels

In this image, pastel and jewel tones come together in elegantly smudged layers of cool hues. Like the blended finish of a watercolor painting, this vibrant look is bright and clear –– with dazzling shades of violet and blue offsetting sparks of silver and beige. The sophisticated cut has shorter, tapered lengths underneath, which allows the longer strands of the fringe and crown to move with liquid fluidity.
An eye-skimming front lends a playful sexiness to the shape. To get this artful look in a few simple steps, 
Step: Shape and color work together to create this look. Start with an undercut area from temples to nape. This will collapse the hair underneath and provide a backdrop for the surface texture.
Step: Color the shorter undercut in a dark tone and lift the strand on top to a bright cool blonde. Tone the blonde with a platinum shade, then add bright pieces with hair chalk or semi-permanent color.
Step: Use color save shampoo and conditioner to keep vibrancy and prevent color bleeding between the intermingled shades.
We recommend KEVIN MURPHY BLONDE ANGEL WASH, RINSE & TREATMENT available this summer at Lattouf Hair & Day Spas www.lattouf.com.au

Kim Kardashian Goes Blonde!

 

 

Exciting Kardashian news today as the most famous of them all finally unveiled, properly at least, her new dark golden blonde ‘do. Twitter went into a flutter over the weekend as Kim showed a very small sneak peak with a hinting tweet, but here’s the first proper show of her latest bombshell look. Keeping it on the darker side of flaxen helps her to pair the hue with her ravishing dark eyes, without too much stark contrast. The variation in tone gives her ripples of shimmering color all over. Kim’s power and influence means this will be a hot shade for fall…

Step: Talk to your colourist about transitioning to dark blonde.“High lift blondes’ are a salon service that enables most to go 4-5 levels lighter, without bleaching. Bleaching is one of the most damaging things for hair, so exploring other options will help you keep color-treated locks as lustrous as Kim’s.
Step: Use KMS Color Vitality Blonde Shampoo and conditioner to preserve shine and tone.
Step: Use KEVIN.MURPHY BORN.AGAIN Treatment masque as a weekly, health-giving treatment conditioner. Packed with mango and shea butter, it puts back what hair loses in chemical services.
Step: Style with KMS Dry touch up, it means you can go longer between ‘wet’ shampooing. Like dry cleaning your red silk dress, this extends the life of color, instead of rinsing it away and add volume to your look with KEVIN MURPHY POWDER.PUFF.
