It takes dedication to maintain hair that smooth. I keep Kerastase Nutritive 8H Magic Night Serum in my pocket to make my strands very moist during the night. You should always have heat protectants, particularly when you do a lot of styling.
The simplicity is what impresses me most of all-it does not require ornamentation. Nothing but the richness of color and the movement of long layers.
And frankly, long chocolate hair does not wear out. It is the sort of classic which keeps you in touch with reality, however crazy the trends become.
Blonde Bob with Baby Bangs
This is a cute bob with baby bangs, but it is not too childish. The blonde color makes it up-to-date, and the fringe adds character to it. It is one of the edgies of the season that is not very long yet surprisingly wearable.
Fringes must be trimmed frequently-it has been my own experience that too long a wait disturbs the balance. Even in winter when the winds are unforgiving, a light smoothing cream such as Living Proof No Frizz Nourishing Styling Cream will keep the bangs in place.
This cut is too chic to resist-it has Parisian vitality, but it is equally effective in New York. It is adorable, daring and it changes your mood immediately.
And best of all? It makes an excellent talking point-people pay attention when you change to baby bangs.
Smoky Blonde Waves
Dark-rooted smoky blonde is glamorous and grounded. These long curls are very dramatic and very voluminous, thus suitable during special evenings of winter. It is a bold inspiro appearance to anyone who needs the dimension.
Lightweight oils are good to use on high-shine curls, but I would apply Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Oil in small amounts to ensure the curl does not fall down.
Personally, smoky blonde is the elegant substitute of icy platinum. It is warmer, softer and much easier to sustain during winter.
And dramatic waves like this, of course, photograph well. It is one of those styles that you would wish to reserve a winter photo shoot.
Classic Dark Layers
This stratified medium-long cut in deep brunette tones is smooth, but friendly. It is also one of the easiest concepts of dark hair, and that is precisely its advantage, as it looks naturally stylish in any environment.
In good condition, Brunette layers are the brightest. I would prefer to use Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Replenishing Moisture Shampoo to maintain depth and gloss.
I prefer this appearance as it suits each and every person. Office, weekend, formal dinners-it fits itself like a glove.
And in case you are in need of thin hair ideas, layers such as these will give you the appearance of fullness without any extra work.
Fiery Copper Shag
This copper shag cut is bold, fiery and full of texture and is an ideal mood-lifter in winter. It is light enough to be short, and its edges are tossed about giving it a lively effect. Of all seasonal concepts that are short, this one is simply personality.
Copper also needs some consideration, and the products such as Davines Alchemic Copper Conditioner are useful to maintain the tones. Ordinary masks are also important, as the red pigments dissipate fast in winter air.
In my case, copper is always adventurous. It is that type of shade that ensures compliments and head turners.
And when you feel like you need a kick in the rut, a hot shag is the reset button. It is audacious, flirtatious and completely memorable.
Blonde Rounded Bob
This is a gentle bob in light blonde that is redefined as sophisticated. It also shapes the face beautifully with volume at the sides, and is a great choice of ideas of round face shapes. It also adds that additional drama with a side part.
Regular trims are necessary to maintain the shape and I would recommend a round brush when blow-drying. Kerastase elixir ultimate oil also provides that salon like shine that blonde people lose during winter.
It is one of those cuts that appears refined even during casual days-it looks as good with a bulky sweater as it does with a smooth blazer.
And, indeed, when you need a new life, a blonde bob will cut to the chase.
Chocolate Gloss Waves
Deep chocolate colors and wavy, falling locks can be an ultra-luxurious long hairstyle. It is classy yet not too flashy, and one of my top tips on how to do dark hair when you want it to be shiny and really shine under winter sun.
It begins in the shower with healthy shine, and I would suggest that Oribe Shampoo to maintain the high-gloss finish with Brilliance and Shine. Those bouncy waves are added with a wide-barrel curling iron.
The thing that I like about this is its timelessness. This fashion never appears to be too fashionable but will always make you appear well dressed.
And in winter, when all is muffled, that glossy chocolate color does shine on the seasonal neutrals.
Choppy Bob with Subtle Violet
A chin-length bob, deep brunette at the base and with slight violet streaks adds some edge to the ordinary. It is delicate, playful and a simple experiment with color without being overly fantasy.
To keep it purple, toning conditioners such as Overtone Purple Coloring Conditioner can be used to keep that violet tint. The cut itself is doing well using texture sprays to make it choppy.
