Whether you’ve spent hours in a salon chair or 30 minutes at home, you want that color to last. Here’s how to keep your color vibrant and your roots in check.
Challenge: Fading
# Likely Culprit No. 1: Unsealed Cuticles
The protective outer layer (cuticle) of each strand of hair needs to remain intact to prevent color molecules from escaping; the more porous the hair, the more likely the hair color is to migrate out, explains Arun Nandagiri, a cosmetics chemist and the founder of Bria Research Laboratories, in Libertyville, Illinois.
Make It Last: Any color treatment should be followed by deep conditioning (don’t shampoo for 24 hours afterward). Then, two to three times a month, apply a deep-conditioning hair mask. In these masks, chemicals known as cationic polymers help keep the layers of hair closed like the shingles on a roof, says Nandagiri. And don’t use clarifying shampoos, which can strip color.
# Likely Culprit No. 2: Contact with Chemicals
The active ingredients in sunless tanners, makeup removers, and astringents can diminish hair color.
Make It Last: “Before using products on the face, gather strands of hair into a ponytail with a boar-bristle brush,” which is less damaging to hair, says Eric Fisher, owner of two salons in Wichita, Kansas. “Then avoid any large movements with the hands to prevent touching your hair.”
Challenge: Peekaboo Roots
# Likely Culprit: Stubborn Hairs or Growth (but not enough to warrant an appointment)
Nonporous hairs, which tend to be gray, make holding on to color difficult.
Make It Last: Hairstylist Cristophe, who owns five salons across the country, suggests asking your colorist to apply peroxide to roots first to make the hairs more porous and improve absorption.

Celebrity Hairstyles: 3 DIY Celebrity Hairstyles
If you are thinking of some DIY celebrity hairstyles for your important dates or appointments, you are in the right place. Here are three hot celebrity hairstyles you can whip up at home easily without any help from hairstylists.
The Chignon
This one's a classic prom hairstyles and has been seen more times on the red carpet recently than Cate Blanchette. This prom hairstyle is a favorite of ours for two reasons: First, it's super easy to do and, second, its looks chic without looking too "made up".
To create your own chignon smooth your hair back and gather it into a low lying ponytail and secure with clear elastic or one that closely matches your hair color. Now grab the ponytail and twist it like a telephone cord. Wrap the spiraled ponytail around the base of the ponytail pinning around the 'bun' as you go. Don't worry if a few end poke out that only adds character to the style. Secure well and give a very light mist of hairspray to hold.
The Half-Up Do
This celebrity hairstyle works on many levels. It's elegant enough to see you through even the most sophisticated of prom events but has a soft, romantic feel to it also. This one's also easy to do at home if you have a little hair skill but if not book an appointment'it'll be worth it.
To create this celebrity hairstyles set long hair in medium sized hot or Velcro rollers. Once the hair is set gently take hair out of rollers and finger comb to separate the curls. Now loosely gather the sides of your hair, make sure you leave some height at the top and secure it with a gorgeous hair clip just below the crown of your head. Pull a few tendrils out around the face to soften the look. Bangs should be swept to the side and hairspray should be kept to a minimum to ensure the hair still moves.
A Pin Curl Twist
This one's is a little trickier to do but the results are a very edgy yet elegant prom hairstyle. If you've got a good deal of hair savvy this one is possible but it's even easier if you team up with a friend and let them do it for you.
Start with hair that's been washed the night before'hair that's too clean is slippery and won't stay in place. Take a two inch wide section of your bangs and pin the hair back to the crown of your head. If you have short bangs use small jeweled hair clips to pin them back or two the side.

Hair Styling Tips
Always use a protecting spray when blow drying your hair, this helps from damaging your hair. Then do a few more quick spray of the protector before straightening it. To really get a good hold use an extreme hold hair spray.
Colors are always a good way to make an emo style stand out. For those who can't color their hair, pick up some non-permanent hair color. It is temporary and will wash right out. You can find them in sprays and gels. All colors too- red, black, purple, blue, pink, green, teal, yellow, aqua, etc. You can always use more than one color!
The cut says it all. Short or long- it doesn't matter. Cut or have your hair cut in choppy, uneven layers. Side bangs are the bomb! Throwing some color in them will def. draw some attention. Using a razor will give you more texture- which is a great thing with emo hair.
If your hair is thick and you want it thinner to style better- use or have your stylist use a thinning sheer- this while thin out your hair (but not too much) and also give you texture.

Simple Steps in Fighting Excessive Hairfall
Having excessive falling hair is a condition that is commonly shared by a lot of people. Many factors contribute to this, such as stress and tension, poor diet and malnutrition, hormonal imbalance, over-processing of the hair, and frequent use of styling products and chemicals, to name a few. Just because it is a common condition does not mean that it should be ignored and left untreated. If you allow the condition to persist, you might find yourself dealing with bigger problems in the future, such as hair loss and baldness. If you suffer from excessive hair fall, here are some simple steps to follow in order to arrest the problem.
Reassess your diet and eating habits. Make sure that you are providing your body with the right amount of vitamins and nutrients. Eat a lot of food rich in protein and Vitamins B and E, as these promote the growth of healthy and lustrous hair.
Avoid combing or brushing your hair when it is wet and refrain from putting it up on a ponytail or a tight bun. Hair is at its weakest when wet and brushing or combing it makes it prone to splitting and breakage. Fixing your hair up in a very tight hairstyle may also cause unnecessary damage to the hair follicles and may result to hair loss.
Lastly, always keep your scalp clean and free of dirt or product buildup. Wash it on a daily basis to get rid of dirt, grime, excess sebum, and styling product buildup. Massage it every so often to aid in the circulation of blood to the scalp. This allows the scalp and the hair follicles to breathe and to stimulate the growth and production of healthy hair.

Popular Haircuts for that short and sexy summer look!
If you are looking for ideas of popular haircuts, you’ve come to the right place. Short hairstyles are in right now, with celebrities donning cute bobs, or slicked-to-the-side crops.
Megan Ward works her hair well with a bob that’s angled and layered at the front. This gives the illusion of a faux fringe. To achieve this look, use a round brush and blow dry hair smoothly.
Christina Applegate’s hair is sassy but not too short. Her blonde bob is accentuated by a side swept bang, ending with loose curls, giving her hair lots of bounce and movement.
Like Eva Longoria’s hair? Get her great looking curls with a faux bob. This is a great way to look sexy with shorter hair.
Short retro haircuts are also in for the season. Jennifer Connelly’s dark wavy hair is reminiscent of the 30s. To create this let your hair dry halfway, then put on styling cream. Roll up the front with Velcro rollers. Once dry, you’ll get the wave just like Jennifer!
Kelly Clarkson’s hair is bouncy and simple, yet makes her look fantastic. All you need is to use a curling iron on the ends of your hair. If you want a loose curl, use a wide iron. For tighter curls, use a narrow iron size.
This Hilary Swank hairstyle is created with two sizes of Velcro rollers. For large soft waves at the top, use the bigger rollers, and work the smaller ones for the tighter curls at the side. Remember to use styling cream on half-dried hair before you roll Then, you can say that your popular haircut is just like Hilary Swank’s!
