Get celebrity inspired hair color!

The following celebrity hair color techniques and ideas will help you and your stylist create a color that works for your hair type and coveted image.

Celebrity Hair Color Inspirations

Although each of the following celebrity inspirations can be varied, generally the application techniques and maintenance requirements will be about the same. Find your favorite gal and hit the salon!

Blonde Ambition

Hello Gwen Stefani hair! Allover blondes have so much fun. If you’re looking for a platinum 'do, get ready for some serious salon maintenance. Gwen’s platinum locks require lifting the base and toning the hair to a silver platinum hue. Expect touch ups every three to four weeks, and be prepared to shampoo hair with your granny’s favorite Fanciful purple shampoo to rid unwanted yellow undertones. Although high on the maintenance list, this look is coveted for its pure old Hollywood glamour.

Girl Next Door

Jennifer Garner is a classic example of girl next door beauty. Brunettes, such as Jennifer, can keep their dark locks rich and decadent with an allover color applied every six to eight weeks. In the fall, ask your stylist to richen your locks with a warm base for a seasonal spicy sheen. Another extra to try at the salon is a clear color shine treatment. Applied just like an allover color, a shine treatment will hydrate the hair while adding that gorgeous glow.

Surfer Girl

Cameron Diaz is the epitome of California cool. Although she is a natural blonde, Cameron has many varying shades of blonde highlights that help to create that perfect California glow. Brunettes looking to copy this look should ask their stylists to lighten their base, and add highlights in the shades of beige and platinum. On the other hand, natural blondes like Cameron can forgo the base lift and opt for varying shades of lightened locks.

For brunettes, expect an allover base touchup every four to five weeks, with a highlight touchup every other appointment. Natural blondes opting for highlights only can expect the average six to eight week touch up appointment.

Caramel Goddess

Jennifer Lopez sizzles and simmers with a full head of fabulous caramel locks. The beauty of brunettes? They have red in their base and once the hair is lifted, this tone can richen and caramelize their lightened locks. If you’re a brunette seeking this sexy mane, ask your stylist to heavily weave your hair, lifting only to the red level. They should then tone the lightened locks with a beige and caramel toner to soften and richen your color.

Blondes looking to create this sun goddess look can opt for a richened allover color, and then repeat the same highlight techniques as a natural brunette.

Maintenance for this look may be quite demanding; brunettes will need to stay out of the sun to keep their hair from lifting into a brassy orange level. Wear a sun hat to protect your fabulous mane, and use a color conserving treatment, such as Aveda’s Madder Root shampoo to richen your glow in between salon visits. Expect to visit your stylist every six to eight weeks to maintain.

Natural Glow

Jessica Biehl, Jennifer Aniston and Mischa Barton all share the stage in the natural glow competition. If you have light brown hair, you’re only a few highlights away from this sun kissed look. Ask you stylist to wear in some bold chunky highlights and get ready to turn heads.

Feeling creative? Artistic and freehand placement of the highlights can add an additional layer of creativity and uniqueness to this color. Maintenance is average, every six to eight weeks, but many can go eight to twelve weeks, diving right into fall color when summers end makes its mark.

Professional Application

To make the most of your celebrity-inspired hue, book an appointment with a color professional. The world of hair color is a tricky business; best not to try at home. Keep maintenance and budget in mind when lightening or richening your locks, and if you’re after a celeb-inspired style, always be ready for change!
