08.10.11Summer HairAmazing mid-to-late summer hair inspiration--shaggy bangs, sun bleached blonde, freckled face... My summer hair update: finally growing out my bangs, about a shade darker, finally got a trim and took off those bleached ends. The Ombre Experiment seriously fried my ends. Be warned kiddies! What's the status on your summer hair? (Image Source: Jay Carroll)

03.24.11Bobby, Blow Dryers, Brooklyn & BangsFirst of all, I'm sorry I've been absent lately! I've been working hard over on Take Sunset, but I've missed you guys. You can always follow my me over there, if you want. And I am on tumblr too, so you can follow me there. See? Plenty of ways to be totally sick of me! But of course I can never abandon this place because, well, I have a permanent case of hair on the brain. HAIR ON MY BRAIN: Blow Dryers - I work from home so most of the time if I want to have wavy, crazy lady hair--just ...

03.14.11Abbey Gets A Bowl CutAtelier Versace’s lookbook for spring 2011 showed Abbey Lee Kershaw with a blunt blonde bowl cut... Forget the blonde pixie--the bowl cut is actually the major hairstyle for the season! So ring your stylist now, if you want to be ahead of the curve. Ok, seriously. Abbey looks fantastic and these dresses are insane. Abbey posed for thirty-two images of beautiful Versace gowns in silk, crystal and a range of colors. So glamorous. And her bowl cut/wig works here, but not so much in everyday life... Right? (Image Source)

03.11.11Katherine Goes ShortSpeaking of new platinum pixies, Katherine Heigl followed Kate Winslet's lead by ditching her longish blonde locks and going for a new cropped style. Katherine was photographed yesterday with the new look, while taking her dog to the vet. I like this new look on Katherine! Also, does anyone know the brand of those boots she's wearing? It's really bugging me because for about a year now I've been seeing people with those same boots occasionally and I really like them. They are brown suede, have a wedge heel, a zipper in the back, and can be worn up or ...

03.11.11Yay Or Nay: Kate Winslet’s PixieKate Winslet ditched her mid-length, wavy, caramel blonde locks for a bold platinum blonde pixie for the April cover of British Vogue. At first I thought this was a wig, but other sources are reporting this as a haircut, so guess it is. I'm curious to see Kate's new hair "in action". She's gorgeous and I'm sure it will look amazing. I think the color is a little too cool for her skin tone, but maybe her stylist will tone it a bit post-editorial. What do you think of Kate's new hair?

02.03.11Ashlee Super Platinum PixieI'm not a fan of Ashlee Simpson, but I love watching her hairstyle changes. If I was a super rich celeb, that's what I'd do too. Mile long red extensions one week, platinum pixie the next. Why not. Ashleeeeeeee was recently spotted leaving Andy Lecompte Salon in West Hollywood with a fresh cut and hair color taking her previous style, which she did this fall, even shorter and lighter. I really love this pixie cut--it's well executed and the proportions are totally right. And the so-blonde-it's-almost-white color really works with this cut. I kind of love it! But what do ...

01.30.11Yay Or Nay: Emily Going BlondeLots of hair color changes going on! Along with Kate Beckinsale lightening her locks, Emily Blunt is also going blonde--starting off with a sort of ginger color which she debuted on the green carpet at the London premiere of Gnomeo and Juliet. People reports that Emily has been having weekly sessions with colorist Anival Morales at Essensuals London Salon in L.A. Morales is gradually lightening her hair for her upcoming role in action sci-fi film Looper. I'm curious how blonde they will take it. I always wonder why actors don't wear wigs for their rolls and call it a day--seems ...

01.30.11Kate Goes BlondeIn theory, I should hate this. Kate Beckinsale, who was on the top of my list for Best Hollywood Hair for her gorgeous brunette locks, went bottle blonde recently, with bad roots. I can only assume this is for a movie role where Kate is playing someone "normal". But what do you know, she's still stunning. What do you think of Kate Beckinsale's new blonde hair?

01.07.11Lauren Goes Brown! Kind Of…Along with Khloe Kardashian, Lauren Conrad also changed her hair color. Reportedly to "brown", but I'm still seeing blonde! Maybe because of all those blonde highlights in the front... Lauren's stylist Kristin Ess told Us Weekly that Lauren has been thinking about going brunette for a long time. "It was just time to go for it," Kristin said. "We've done so many variations of blonde in the past and it's fun to do something new." They used Mila Kunis and Jessica Biel's "Brazilian brown" shades as inspiration for Lauren's new color. To get the desired effect, Kristin ...

01.01.11How To: DIY Ombre HairI've been reading about Alex's at-home ombre hair adventure over at her amazing site, Ego-Friendly, and I so understand the feeling of impulsive hair changes, whether it's dashing out to Sally Beauty for a bottle of dye because suddenly you MUST change your color, chopping your own bangs on a whim because they're driving you nuts, or walking into the nearest salon for a haircut you saw on the cover of a magazine (Julia Stiles on the cover of Elle circa 2002.) I've done it all. However, I'm super impressed with people who lighten their hair at home; that's one thing ...
