Color, when done correctly, can be timeless – no matter the shade. Whether looking at Hollywood starlets of the past or present, one thing is certain – gorgeous, shiny hair stands out.

Blonde: Marilyn Monroe & Gwen Stefani

Marilyn and Gwen are two of my favorite bleach blonde babes… so glamorous! They never have roots, their color is always maintained - no matter where they are. Shiny, beautiful, conditioned hair is how you can keep a look like this timeless. When your hair is this blonde, it is important to take care of it, always condition. Being this blonde - you should always have your hair and makeup done, and dress camera ready!

Brunette: Elizabeth Taylor & Catherine Zeta Jones

Both women make dark brown hair look exotic and sexy! Brown hair can sometimes look boring, but not on these ladies! Their manes always have a rich chocolate brown color, that’s super shiny and always done!

Red: Rita Hayworth & Debra Messing

Redheads to me are attention grabbers. There aren’t many of them, and it takes a strong personality to pull it off. Both these women wear the perfect shade and tone of red to match their complexions and personalities. Deep, rich gorgeous tones - they leave their mark everywhere they go. You will not forget a sexy redhead when you see one!

1. Never pick a color that looks or sounds fake, like “Cherry Bomb.” Pick colors that are soft and natural.

2. Make sure you change your makeup; going red means making the necessary adjustments to your makeup!

3. As a redhead, it is also important to wear clothes that compliment your hair color. Fiery hair requires less details on clothing, your already making a bold statement with that color!

4. In the Fall & Winter, I suggest taking your red to a deeper, richer shade.

5. In the Spring & Summer go lighter, more of a golden coppery color.

6. Don’t put a lot of highlights, I recommend none at all or very few. When they start to wash out of red hair, they tend to look funny and not as flattering.

7. Get glosses to prolong your color; red fades quickly.

8. Stay away from color depositing shampoos as they change your color overtime.

9. Don’t forget - Redheads are sexy, so get a haircut that compliments the color. I don’t like long, straight red hair - add some body or curls to it!

10. Make sure that the tone of your hair matches your skin and eye color, and work it! Redheads are sassy and have sex appeal – they’re noticed as soon as they step into a room!

Hi BJ! I had to ask the same question a few years ago… I didn’t know the difference either! Here’s Rita Hazan’s response…

A single process is either permanent or semi-permanent color that alters your natural hair color either darker or lighter. This is just one-dimensional color, meaning your whole head of hair will be the same. For example, I only do a single process on Debra Messing. There are no highlights, so it is very one-dimensional.

A double process is a single process plus highlights. So you color your hair one shade and then add highlights to give it a multi-dimensional look, like Jessica Simpson. For most people this helps it look more natural. She colors her natural hair to a golden blonde and highlights on top of it with baby blonde highlights for a more natural blonde affect.
