Celeb Covet-Worthy Hair Colour

Posted by Lauren | Tuesday April 19, 2011

Spring is all about keeping things fresh, and what better way to celebrate than with a fresh new hair color? If you're looking for some colorful inspiration check out the celebrity styles that have us seeing green (well, actually blonde, brown and red)—it might be time to make a salon appointment.

The New Blonde

Michelle Williams' and Amanda Seyfried's blonde appears to be one light shade, rather than blonde with highlights. On Michelle it's a bright platinum (hard on the hair so easier to maintain in a shorter style), while Amanda's is a light wheat shade with a bit of ash and not a hint of brassiness.

Dark and Sultery

Lea Michele's dark strands are only slightly lighter at the ends, just like the sun would naturally do. Does she colour her hair, well that's anyones guess with colour like this. Did you blink and miss Khloe Kardashian as a red head? Rumour has it producers of Keeping Up With The Kardashians' made her dye it back so she looked more like her sisters. Too bad, this spunky shade really matched her outspoken personality.

Ombre

This trend shows no signs of slowing. Jessica Biel and Leighton Meester are just two of the starlets who've played around with this look (see also: Rachel Bilson, Whitney Port, Shenae Grimes and Alexa Chung) which is great for ladies with length who want to play around with highlights but don't want to be a slave to the salon for touch ups.

Highlights

At one end of the highlight spectrum there is Gabrielle Union who's opted for subtle shots peaking out from her top layer, and at the other end is Emma Roberts who's gone for classic honey blonde streaks all over. Both have chosen colours that enhance their complexion and work with the hair's texture.

Are you looking for a great new hair color for Spring 2011? What are you most excited to try?

Love Jessica Biel's darker roots and Leighton Meester. Ombre can look too much if not done subtly but I think theirs are bang on.
