Hi! My hair is almost halfway down my back and it’s very thick and medium brown, but i want it about 4 inches longer. It seems like my hair hasn’t grown at all in the past 4 years. I was just wondering if there were any haircare products to make my hair grow longer. I’ve been laying off the heat styling for about 5 months now, but it hasn’t seemed to really help. Any recommendations would be great, thanks!!!

Hi!
I have light skin and blue eyes and medium brown hair and my tone is cool. I’m looking for an at-home color kit that will color my hair darkest brown, but not quite black, and the tone should be cool,thanks!

I hate how my hair is so fuzzy throughout the whole day, at the top, and, well, everywhere! It really bothers me, and all I want my hair to look like is glamorous and smooth and I want people to notice it. I don’t know if it’s the shampoo and conditioner, because I use herbal essences and it’s a really good reccomended hair product, but it’s still not doing anything. Can you suggest any tips?

Thanks.

Well, I don’t know if you have already intiated getting the auburn or ombre highlights done, but as a professional colorist for 10 years, I always suggest that my clients wait two weeks befor changing hair color and get a deep treatment one week before color process to protect hair from damage and breakage. On the light brown high lights, I would have gone over that present color and added a 7GN and used an auburn brown toner over the whole head. That way you can still have highlights, but they would give you a more natural look. if however your blonde highlights are chunky then you would have to splice the blonde highlights and deposit the 7GN on the leftover strands. You would end up with a natural color like Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester. Good hair days! It’s winter so keep your deep treatments appointments and use sunscreen under on your face every day for anti wrinkle prevention and night cream on your face and neck at night before bed. I also tell my clients to invest in silk pillowcases.

Hi Liz,
Before deciding on a brunette shade, consider your eyes and skin tone so you find the best brunette haircolor for you! If you have a little warmth to your skin, a cool brown shade would look great on you.

Hi, Danielle!
The ombre haircolor is a hot trend. Check out Sophisticate’s special 33rd Anniversary issue (the one with Carrie Underwood on the cover!) for more inspiration. Check out the “33 Looks” article and you’ll find a TV star/fashion designer who loves wearing ombre haircolor!
