Spring 2009 Hair Trends

The new hair color for spring is peroxide blonde, a color that Christina Aguilera is known for. This trend for hair color may not be suitable for all Latinas. If you are an olive skinned brown eyed dark haired Latina this new color trend is definitely not for you.
Now why do I think this is a definite DON’T for Latinas? I’ll explain:

 The amount of bottles of peroxide it’s going to take to get you to from dark haired to that shade of blonde which is almost white is unbelievable. Then when it’s done, you’re going to end up with crazy hair damage. I’m talking about breaking off, split ends and if you have curls that will just turn into a frizz ball. Trust me it’s just not worth it! And if you don’t use the bottles of peroxide you’ll end up with that “ghetto blonde” that I hate. Like an orange color. Not sexy!

 So what can we do instead as a compromise? If you’re thinking of lightening up your hair this summer you can consider highlights. If you have dark hair, some caramel colored highlights would look very nice. Or some “red-lights” some red highlights would be really cute and would give your hair some definition. A friend of mine has this and is so cute! But red is so much harder to maintain and it tends to wash a bit faster than other colors.

 If you want to go all out and change your hair color (like I do) there are a few colors out there to consider. I love what I call the “Jlo Brown” it will bring out your tan. It’s a nice medium golden brown with blonde highlights that Jlo is famous for. She’s gone a bit darker and a bit darker but has pretty much stayed around the same shade all these years.

I also love auburn brown like Ashley Simpson had. If you need something a little more cost effective this is a nice color. Your dark brown hair will grow in but not as bad as if you went really light. Think the look that Shakira has. But hey, if that’s the look you’re going for that’s great. Just check out her hair and see the frizz she almost always has. Even with professionals peroxide kills your hair. Trust me I don’t lie! I like a more polished look but can’t afford to get my roots done every two months. Way too much maintenance. But I’ve been raven-haired for way too long and sometimes a girl just needs a change m’ija. I’m beyond bored with my hair. So I’m going with the Auburn. Are you thinking of changing your hair color this season?
