Celebrity Haircut: How to Keep Celebrity Hair Color

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.
