It’s time to freshen ourselves up as we jump into spring! The flowers are blooming, the sun is attempting to make an appearance, and we are coming out of our hibernation. Nothing makes you feel better about yourself than a fresh color, covering up the old or brightening the drab. So you ask, What’s hot? How do I choose? What do I do with my existing color?

Always do your research by scanning this seasons hottest magazines for some color ideas. You always have to remember that a lot of editorial pictures can include extensions which allow the color to pop more which is unrealistic in natural hair. Bring several options with you to show to your stylist because all may not be suitable for your skin tone. Your stylist may have some great ideas for you with new techniques or color palette choices from a recent color class or hair show. Always trust your colorist in choosing the correct tones that will be perfectly matched with you.

Big changes can be made in steps, making it a great transformation over a span of several seasons. So get to the blonde, blonde, blonde at the end of summer. Be the ever changing blonde combining tones to include different dimensions, reaching it’s full potential by the end of the season. The same can go for any color. Red heads can change all hues from honey tones to copper tones and plan your deep winter red, red tones. By working towards a goal you can have so much fun in the process, be ever changing and treat your hair in a gentle manner.

What’s hot? Brightening your browns with warm hues of honey to create an all over lighter golden hued brown. Take your left over winter blonde to a warm vanilla blonde to soften and tone your look for spring. Banding- brighten the front section around your face with a lighter shade of color blending it with highlights to the back or using a complimentary color. Whatever you do, freshen yourself with a new pop of spring color and you will feel renewed!

What is your spring hair fling?

Finding Your Perfect Stylist:

Searching for your perfect stylist can be disastrous and nerve wrecking. Trusting someone who is going to change your look, make you look perfect for your event, or read your mind to help you find what you truly want can be difficult. The search begins often with moving from stylist to stylist without reason. An unhappy client with unhappy hair evolves and the search continues…

Many times, there may be a lack of trust in a stylist, which comes with the pattern of changing stylists each time you get your hair done. Then, you repeatedly discover the unfortunate experiences of bad hair. So how do you trust? Trust is often earned but in the same sense you need to trust enough to place your hair in a stylist’s hands. Here are some suggestions to get you started:

*Find a credible stylist that has the knowledge you feel comfortable with.
*Your stylist should match you as a person and mesh well with your personality.
*You should be able to easily communicate to the stylist what it is you want and get
the results with ease.

To find the perfect stylist for you can be easy or can take a little bit of a search. You can find them through their work and word of mouth. Take a look around if you see someone who has similar hair as you, and if you love their style, don’t be afraid to ask who does their hair. If you already visit a salon for other services, ask your esthetician, masseuse, or nail technician for recommendations. It is very likely they have a favored stylist in mind that they will recommend to you.

If you are still fearful of jumping into the chair of your new stylist, take a visit for a blow dry or style. See how you two relate and see how the stylist showcases their skills. Another good idea would be to take a picture in with you of a hairstyle you would like to achieve in the future and see what the stylist communicates about the style for you. See if you like what you hear and if you feel at ease, if not move on. You will find your stylist in time and then learn to trust them when you two learn the dance of communication. Good luck and happy hairs!

Setting Your Own Trends

Written by Julie Hill

Every one of us has dreamed of what we want to look like on our wedding day. We see pictures throughout our lifetime of what a bride should look like, and through the years they appear different with the changing times. Trends set the basis to a bride’s looks, but deep down, it should portray a signature look in how you are as a person, your style, and most importantly, what you allow it to portray as yourself.

The style of your hair can complete your whole look. This year’s trends have leaned towards wearing the hair down, in long, curly, and loose waves. This is a beautiful look that can be simple but pumped up to elaborate, depending on your style and the event feel. Simply stated hair can be loose and combed through, with flowing soft curls, softly pulled back, or a braid for a charming yet simplistic look. Attaining an elaborate hairstyle can be achieved by adding more hair, stronger curls, adding height, and pulling it back with detail.

Hair can either be our enemy or our best friend; depending on the weather, your length of hair, how well it holds a curl, etc. We all know your hair does not want to cooperate with your chosen style at a given time, so this is why trends may not always work. Take an alternate plan of action. If you want to still have the trend appearance of wearing your hair down, but your hair will not cooperate, pull it softly back or to the side in a low ponytail. The Chignon and the French Twist are two more popular options for those of you who cannot wear your hair down. They are classic looks that can hold so many different possibilities and interpretations.

Just because trends are set, does not mean we need to follow them. Be an individual, stand out, and do what your hair will allow. What is the best look for you? What matches your event? Will it work with the weather? Will it hold up the whole night? Will it compliment your dress? These are all questions that every bride should ask herself when trying to find the perfect hairstyle. Find the stylist that best fits you to help you answer these questions and portray your chosen style.
