Ask Bella: How Do I Lift Black Hair Dye?
Recently, a distressed reader contacted me about an unfortunate incident regarding a box of black hair color and the subsequent regretful results. Here's her story:
Three months ago I had an adult identity crisis and dumped a box of jet black dye on my naturally medium brown hair. Now I can't get it to lift out for anything — professionally or at home.
Switch Up Your Color: Look Fabulous With a Radiant New Shade
Stuck in a hair-color rut? Thinking of trying a fresh shade on for size? Here are some great reasons to treat your locks to an exciting new hue.
Drew Ditches the Black Tips
Most of you weren't loving Drew Barrymore's black tips when she debuted them earlier this month, but you have to hand it to the girl. She's definitely someone who can pull off the most extreme of styles. "This is the craziest look I've ever given her!"
Does Dyeing Your Hair Blond Really Make You Look Younger?
This is one of those things I always hear, and a lot of women, like Anna Wintour here, do seem to opt for blond as they get older. I always assumed women go blond in their 40s and 50s because it's the easiest way to cover gray, but I've heard some vague evolutionary biology stuff thrown around, too, where people say that blond = youth. Because babies have lighter hair than adults, generally, blondes read as more fertile and youthful.
Do You Change Your Hair Color With the Seasons?
Today marks the official first day of Fall. Do you feel a crispness in the air already? Here, in San Francisco, not so much, as we're going through a bit of a heat wave these days.
Reader Review of the Day: John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Shine Release Daily Conditioner
You might know that I'm a huge proponent of colored conditioners as a quick, inexpensive way to keep color looking fresh. Whether it's your natural shade you want to highlight, or your professionally dyed locks that need a boost, a good colored conditioner once or twice a week will perk your style right back up — or will it? Recently, reader Gooz1231 tried out John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Shine Release Daily Conditioner ($7), and wasn't too pleased with the results.
Angelina Jolie Warms Up
At last night's Inglourious Basterds premiere in LA, there was something different about Angelina Jolie's hair that I couldn't quite figure out. Obviously, she's lightened her locks considerably since her more goth-y days of years past, but after comparing photos from her red carpet appearance at Cannes back in May, it looks as if Angelina's warmed up those famous strands with a little touchup and softer, more-caramel/less-gold toner. While we've seen her in a light wig on the set of Salt earlier this year, and let's not forget her blond bob in Life or Something Like It, this version of a dark, honey-toned blond seems to be working for her, no?
Have You Ever Asked For a Hair Redo?
Have you ever left the salon feeling not-so-fabulous about your cut or color? Maybe the blond was a little too yellow for your liking, or there was an obvious bleed mark in your fringe. Or perhaps it was just that your new cut wasn't cooperating with the texture of your hair, leaving you with a string of bad hair days.
Which Hair Color Do You Prefer on Scarlett?
For a while, it seemed as if Scarlett Johansson was going darker and darker (and redder and redder) with her locks. But at last night's Opening Night of LA Shorts Fest '09, she debuted this lighter-toned hairstyle with a bit more strawberry, and a little less auburn. We already know that the actress is definitely not shy when it comes to wearing bold makeup looks — or even hardly any makeup at all, for that matter.
