This is how she achieved this beach blonde look:

1. Lauren’s “Ombre” color starts with a low volume smudge which only stays on for 15 minutes and takes her natural color to a slightly warmer more golden tone.
2. Then I carefully applied a baby highlight around the hairline. And last, free handed highlights that get heavier toward the bottom, creating a more natural, believable, beachy summer blonde.

It was only a matter of time before curly hairstyles made an appearance again. Hairstyles come and go and the straight hair craze is about ready to be replaced with gorgeous curly ringlets. If you are considering a perm to give you the curly look, there are some things that you should consider.

The Pros

A perm offers you great curls without the extra time in your hairstyling routine. Getting a curly look without a perm requires you to spend hours in front of the mirror with a curling iron or hot rollers. The perm gives you worry free curls every day without any special effort.

Today’s perms are much more hair friendly than the chemical laden products of the past. If you are concerned with using chemicals on your hair, you can rest assured that there are natural products on the market.

The Cons

If you enjoy changing your hairstyle frequently, a perm can limit your options. You will have to stick with the curly style for several months if you want a carefree hairstyle.

While the products on the market are gentler than in the past, it is still a permanent process. One bad perm can take months to grow out. You will have to suffer with bad hair for months until the hair grows out and can be restyled.

Home perms are a tricky proposition. Unless you know what you are doing, or you know someone who knows how to use the products, it might be a good idea to take your hair to a professional.

Celebrity hairdresser David Babaii achieved this red carpet look by combining eras of vintage fabric textures with the perfect epoch red hair color. According to David, “Nicole Kidman always inspires me but for the 2010 SAG Awards, her beautiful skin tone and breathtaking beauty took the lead. The right style and hair color became my main objective.” David fell in love with this unique period wig that had various tones of ginger. In order to achieve the perfect color match, David sought out the master talents of celebrity hair colorist Lorri Goddard-Clark. Lorri created Nicole’s rich new color, while David created the perfect texture needed to enhance this natural but classic “Bohemian” look.

The Color: Lorri Goddard-Clark matched the vintage wig selected by David Babaii by utilizing a combination of deposit-only color, her signature foil-out reverse highlighting technique and a sulfate-free glaze. Nicole’s hair was transformed from a medium blonde into a rich, warm Gingered Toffee Red to enhance her azure eyes and porcelain skin.

According to Lorri, “It was truly an honor to work with David: he is a genius. I was thrilled to collaborate with him on this look for Nicole Kidman.”

The Style: David gently towel dried the hair and sprayed Bohemian Beach Spray throughout. Next, he gently rough dried the hair moving his hands in various directions to create texture. Once dry, he fashioned a center part and divided tresses into 4 sections (sides, back crown & nape). Starting at the nape area, he alternated between 1″ and 1 ½” ceramic curling irons, taking “V” shaped partings. He then wrapped hair around the inside of the barrel, holding for 10 seconds then gently releasing the curl. With each alternating curl, David slid his fingers up the curl to gently create a soft back combing effect and enhanced texture. After finishing the entire head, David used his fingers and added extra Bohemian Beach Spray to loosen the curls and highlight the richness of the hair color.

We have all gone through one of these. They are the bane of our existence and a terrible reality which haunts us from time to time. Bad Hair Days are unfortunately, no strangers to anyone, and can completely take away from one’s looks and confidence. There are, however, ways and means of dealing with one of these icky days, and we are presenting them here for you:

The best method is, of course, prevention. This can be done by planning your hairstyle and look for the next day in advance and taking the appropriate precautions. If, however, your hair still looks like a little hairy monster one morning, here is what is to be done.

Is Carrie Underwood having a bad hair day?

BANDANNAS: they are cool, they look great and they scream “confidence”. However, you need an attitude to carry a bandanna well, and one can easily go over the top when choosing the colour and design, so please be careful and have an appropriate bandanna ready in case of emergencies.

A PONY TAILis a girl’s best friend when it comes to coping with a bad hair day. Of course, it can be a man’s best friend too, if they ever recognize their bad hair days. Have fun with different colours of rubber bands, and be sure that the rubber band has a protective fabric covering. A silicone based hair serum can go a long way in smoothening out your hair and giving it a finished appearance. If, however, you have problems getting your hair to settle down, there are other weapons like hair gels, sprays and mousse to be considered.

Alternatively, if you have some time on your hands, dab a little olive oil on a straightening iron and straighten your hair out. A straight haired look is always more neat than a frazzled, monster head look. The olive oil can be replaced with almond oil, and is responsible for protecting your hair and leaving it with a slight sheen after the ironing.

Of course, you can always wear a hat or a wig but this is a last minute resort known as camouflage.
