Trend Alert: Dark Roots

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 hairdressers, save the $60 according to the hot celebrity hairdressers like Ken Paves. Frédéric Fekkai, hairdressers are calling it “root shading” and charges $265 and of course you can buy wigs with dark roots hair if you shop around.

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 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. Stay up with all the happenings in hair trends by following our Pinterest Hair Trends Board.

Surprise Pops of Color Winter is a great time to play with rich hues by adding a few pops of jewel toned highlights. How to Style: 1. Apply smoothing cream to towel dried hair. 2. Blow dry with a paddle brush to achieve maximum smoothness. 3. Use a flat iron to smooth any unruly locks and give layers around your face a subtle bend on the ends. Product Recommendation: A good shampoo and conditioner are the foundation to any style (you wouldn’t build a house on a shaky foundation, would you?). Since the air is drier during the winter months, make sure to nurse your locks with extra hydration. I recommend Onesta’s Hydrating Shampoo & Moisture Balance Conditioner. Face Shape and Hair Density:  This style is great for any face shape and for medium to thick densities. I’ll Take My Waves On The Side Take one look at the red carpet and you’ll find almost every actress is loving the side swept look. How to Style: 1. Starting with clean dry hair, curl hair vertically. 2. Allo
