Haute glamour: hair colour to blow your socks off

There is nothing like the power of a good hair cut and colour to make you feel a million dollars. If you've ever wondered how girls get that shiny, bright and glamorous hair colour, keep reading.

Hot hair. It starts with a warm base colour, perfectly matched to your skin tone to complement your complexion. Then a full, half or t-area of head is foiled in very thin strands placed strategically to brighten the whole look and add dimension. The trick is to choose highlights only a couple of tones lighter, so that they are not obvious. The end look is an overall glossy and lively hair colour without a "streaky" or "stripy" contrast.

1. Chestnut base and honey foils give an overall dark blonde look. 2. Light ash blonde with platinum highlights. 3.  Medium ashy brown with ash blonde highlights. 4. Golden brown with blonde highlights. 5. Medium ash blonde with light ash highlights.

Bangs.  They aren't for everyone, but get the right type and they can transform your appearance and create a dramatic look. They suit many different style cuts - part of the trick is to get the colour right and pick a fringe that suits your face shape. Plus, you can always pull them back in a slight quiff with hair clips if you want a clear face.
