Take your dye job too far (or inky, or frosty) and you can add years to your appearance. Three top colorists weigh in on what to avoid.

Aging Hair Color Mistakes & How To Fix Them

|

STRAYING TOO FAR FROM YOUR NATURAL SHADE

The hair color you have is the one you’re meant to have: It complements your skin tone and doesn’t look artificial. When coloring your hair, you should aim to enhance and enrich your natural color and subtlyconceal grays—not do a total 180. “Color within reason. If you’re a dark brunette, don’t stray too far from rich tones. If you’re a warm blonde, keep to the golden hues that add depth. If you introduce a completely new color, your natural shade will fight it until it oxidizes and turns brassy orange. And that will make you look like an old woman overnight,” says Louis Licari, a colorist and owner of hair salons in New York City and Beverly Hills.

Colorist Negin Zand of Salon Benjamin in West Hollywood says another thing that can make hair color look stark and fake is a dark hairline. “The fine hair there grabs onto the color and tends to get dark faster. I always use a color that’s two shades lighter than the one I’m using for the back of the head at the hairline, from ear to ear. That keeps it from looking obviously dyed, and it’s much more natural and youthful,” she says.

10 Bun Hairstyles for Short Hair- Video Tutorial

Blond Bombshell

One to always keep us guessing with what color she will choose next, I don’t think anyone saw this coming. Demi Lovato went full on blond and we must say it looks pretty good.
|

Seeing Blue

Demi is no stranger to bright colors and this time she opted for Blue. Not many people can pull off this look, but it’s fair to say that she certainly did.

|

Sexy Waves

This middle part with sexy waves has become the singer’s signature style as of late and we must admit it does fit her to a T.

|

Teal Ombre

When you’ve tried every hair color on the planet you have to start getting really creative and that’s just what Demi Lovato did with this teal ombre style. She didn’t go all out teal ( she’s done that already) She kept her blond locks at the roots.

|

Dark Lob with streaks

Demi Lovato did the big chop, or should we say the shoulder length chop going for a stylish lob (long bob). She also went super dark with her locs then added some honey blond streaks.
|

Super Short Bob

After the lob, the obvious next step is to go shorter right? Well, that’s exactly what the pop star did as evidence by this super short, textured bob which we love.
|

Purple tips and shaved sides

Okay so I couldn’t come up with a clever caption but the title says it all. The singer went rocker and edgy by shaving one side of her head ( ala Rihanna) and colored the ends of her hair in purple and grey.

Brown Bob

Demi Lovato kept it cute and classic with this short brown bob hairstyle that she debuted on social media.
|

Strawberry Pink?

Demi went for a darker shade of pink this time around.

A post shared by Demi Lovato (@ddlovato) on Mar 5, 2014 at 4:57pm PST

Redhead

The singer has been changing up her hair since she first became popular on the Disney channel many years ago. This throwback look shows a younger Demin rocking red voluminous locks.
|

Pretty in Pink

NO, we don’t mean a pink outfit, we mean pink hair duh
|

Short and Sleek

The former Disney star has transformed her look over the years, but her most sophisticated and mature look has to be this short slicked-back style that she wore to a red carpet event.
|

Updo

Color is one thing, but style is another and the pop-star completely looks like a Hollywood goddess with her auburn hair pinned up in a classic updo.

3.Braided Bun

I can’t lie, this braided bun does require a bit of skill, but this photo tutorial breaks in down in simple steps. It really does look a lot more complicated than it actually is. This style works for a cocktail party or some sort of swanky soiree.
|

4.Bun With Headband

I absolutely adore these bun hairstyles that can be transformed with a colorful headband. You can choose whether you want a super high bun or a more centered bun. Secure your hair in a ponytail, wrap the ends in a tight or loose bun then top off the look with a headband of your choice. If you have short hair this works well because the headband keeps the short pieces intact.

|

5. Messy, half Up Bun

For days when you don’t have a lot of time to spend on your hair, but you still want to look chic and stylish. Just section off the top part of your hair and secure with a scrunchie then wrap the loose ends in a bun. Use your hands to loosen it up a bit so it doesn’t look too neat.
|

6.Bubble Bun

A very simple style perfect for a day at the office. You’ll need to start with clean curly hair. Just pull the hair into a high ponytail and strategically wrap the loose end around the top to create a bubble.
|

7. Sleek Low Bun

Talk about chic! This neat shiny bun is the ideal style for any and every occasion whether its work or play.

Lucy  rarely goes light with her haircolor, but when she does it is absolutely stunning. This is a longer styled bob or Lob as it is called, bleached to a light shade of blond at the roots and at the front.

Blond Streaks

Lucy Hale wore her hair in a shoulder length bob with blond streaks peaking through her auburn locs at 2014 American Music Awards in 2014. 

Blunt Wavy Bob

Lucy’s 2018 blunt wavy bob —which she debuted at New York fashion week this year— looks very similar to the style she wore to the AMA’s in 2014. However this time she went the ombre root instead of blond streaks.

 Shaggy bob with Bangs

This shaggy bob with long choppy bangs is quite a departure from Lucy’s usual styles, but it is so fresh and young it suits her perfectly.

Slicked back bob

Super short sleek bob

|

Another one of my favorite looks from the actress, this one is dark and sleek , yet edgy at the same time.

Sleek Middle Part bob

|

To achieve this look Lucy parted her shoulder length bob down the middle and used a flat iron to straighten her locs. Add a dime size amount of argon or coconut oil to add shine to your hair.

Dark Roots Bob

|

The actress kept her dark roots in tack and went lighter on the ends of her neck grazing bob. A large curling iron can give you these sexy curls.

Textured Bob

10 Cool Trending Hairstyles

1. Space buns

|

Space buns have been trending for a while now, and they are still very much in style  with lots of cute variations added to the mix. This one is super creative thanks to these upside down cornrows in the back!

2.Rose Gold hair

|

If you really want to try something different, then the rose gold trend might be right up your alley. This beautiful hue is for the girl who wants to stand out, but I suggest you get this color done by a professional, because if this goes wrong it won’t be pretty.

3.Wet slicked back

|

If you want to be the coolest chick on the block then you have to try this slicked back look. Quite popular on the runway with many fashion designers and models this one is super easy to replicate. Just use a spray bottle and spray until hair is damp them comb all the hair back with a paddle brush, and use hairspray to keep it in place.

4.Low ponytail

|

This runway-ready hairstyle is perfect for work or a classy event. It’s quite easy to do on your own, but if you can’t do this fancy twist a hairband will do the trick.

5.Bangs

|

I personally have a love/hate relationship with bangs, sometimes they look amazing and other times well, I look like an alien. However, if you can pull off bangs I suggest you go for it, since there are so many ways to try this trend. Whether your hair is long or short, curly or straight, in a bob or even in a ponytail a bang works every single time.

6. 80 ‘s Scrunchies

|

80’s scrunchies are back baby with all the hot fashionistas and celebs rocking this trend like it was well, 1980 duh! This time around you have a lot more options, colors and styles to play around with.

7. Ice blond pixie

|

This one is for the risk takers, and boy is it a risk! The ice blond pixie cut is a show stopper for sure, and it does require a lot of maintenance to sustain the color and style.

8. Long shag

|

Let’s be honest, the long shag is not for everyone but it looks so good you’ll probably want to try it at some point in your life. The cut and color plays an integral role in pulling off this look so you need a great stylist for this one.

9.Double bound Ponytail

10.Ballerina Bun

This dressed up version of the ballerina bun works for many different occasions, whether its a red carpet event of a casual differ you can add some fun accessories to your hair to suit your taste and style.
