Why does celebrity hair always look so perfect?
Celebrities have all the hair tips, techniques and products in the world at their disposal. So what are the secrets to hair color happiness? Are they available to us in the real world? Yes they are, and they are all captured for you below!
Celebrity hair color always has two or more colors to give it depth, unlike drugstore colors with their flat, one-tone appearance. A celebrity’s hair texture is successfully styled into something smooth and shiny, if not glass-like. There is no frizz or copper in sight. So how do they do it? keep reading…
What tips, techniques and products are used to color celebrity hair?
Celebrities get their hair dyed by a professional who specializes in European hair color or corrective color, or is a top artist. The hairdresser “foils” the hair, using two or more colors to give the hair depth. The hairdressers will then put a “glaze” on the hair to seal in the color, further tone the color and make the hair shine. These services are available in many salons. Foiling with icing is usually done every 2-3 months and can cost anywhere from $100 to $175 on average. A root touch up and glaze is done every month and can cost anywhere from $25 to $100 on average.
How do celebrities keep their color-treated hair looking fresh, without brassiness between coloring?
Celebrities love Artec color depositing shampoos! These eliminate brassiness and keep your hair color looking fresh! Drew Barrymore told Allure magazine, “The best color shampoos I’ve come across lately are the ones called ARTec. I use half Sunflower, half Walnut. Gorgeous. It comes out like a tan caramel brown.” Jenna Elfman has changed her blonde hair to red with ARTec’s Strawberry Color Depositing Shampoo. Minnie Driver uses Cocobean to give her brunette hair depth, and fashion designer Donatella Versace mixes White Violet and Lemon Flower to keep her hair platinum blonde. If the hair color has really faded, the celebrity will have frosted hair, which will tone down the color and make the hair shine between colorings. Celebrities use salon shampoos and conditioners from brands like ARTec and Bumble and Bumble, which are shaped for color-treated hair because they help keep hair color as long as possible and contain sunscreens (the sun can fade color, so they wear hats).
How do celebrities keep their color-treated hair looking healthy, smooth and shiny?
Celebrities use protein deep conditioners very often to prevent the hair texture from becoming too porous and coarse. They create shine and smoothness using ceramic flat irons on the hair, like the celebrity favorite, the Sedu Flat Iron, or curl hair with gel, steam, or Velcro rollers, which hold curls longer than electric rollers. They trim split ends with regular undercuts and have the ends of the hair rolled down to hide them. Finally, the hair is misted with a silicone-based shine spray to complete the “red carpet” hair style!
