Hot Hair: To Dye For

Bold Color
By · August 2, 2011October 28, 2020
01
Purple Rain

Add oomph to your short natural by tinting the tips a vibrant violet! Redken Color Extend Conditioner ($15, amazon.com) will keep your color dazzling, not dull.

Michael Williams
02
Dye-namic

Bold streaks give this bob a modern edge. To make the shade pop, apply a dime-size amount of Keihl’s Silk Groom Serum ($18, nordstrom.com) throughout dry hair.

Peter Buckingham
03
Honey Child

An asymmetrical bang and heavenly honey blond hue will get you noticed! Make it last with Rusk Sensories Brilliance Grapefruit and Honey Leave In Color Protector ($13, amazon.com).

Alex Beauchesrie
04
Color Code

If you go for professional color, never get a relaxer on the same day. Instead, straighten strands by applying Paul Mitchell Relaxing Balm ($20, drugstore.com) and then flat-ironing hair.

Fabrice Trombert
05
New Hue

Achieve a multi-dimensional effect with copper, light brown and blond streaks. You’ll reveal a new hue wherever you part your hair! Ted Gibson Color Conditioner ($26, folica.com) prevents fading.

Peter Buckingham
06
Midas Touch

You can’t go wrong with warm blonde shade that’s not too yellow or ashy. Get the look at home with Dark & Lovely Semi-Permanent Color in Honey Blonde ($4, amazon.com).

Fabrice Trombert
07
In the Red

Red hair is notoriously quick to fade! John Frieda Radiant Red Color Last Conditioner ($5.73, walmart.com) helps keep your crimson from going brassy or dull — plus, it smells terrific.

Michael Williams
08
Dark and Lovely

Jet-black hair is always a dramatic look. Keep your shade looking rich and glossy with Aveda Black Malva Color Shampoo and it’s coordinating Conditioner ($19 each, aveda.com).

Darren Keith
09
Black is Beautiful

Achieve brilliant black haircolor at home with L’Oreal Paris Feria Haircolor in Black Leather ($9, walmart.com). Stay bright with ARTec Color-Depositing Shampoo ($14.99, folica.com).

Peter Chin
10
Golden Girl

To protect your honey-highlighted tresses from heat damage, apply Wella Color Preserve Thermal Protector ($13.99, amazon.com) before using a flat iron or hair dryer.
