On towel dried hair apply some volumizing mousse and use your fingers to tousle your hair as you blow dry it. Once you have your hair dry, apply some heat protecting product and anti-frizz spray. Use a large or medium barrel curling iron to add lots of waves and curls. This not only frames your face, but makes your hair easier to work with. Give your hair a light spray of hairspray, and part your hair into three sections. Next make a loose braid that goes to one side. Make sure you don’t pull the braid too tightly, you want a messy loose look. You can also twist your hair together for a different look. Leave lots of waves and curls around your face.
Take the ends of the braid or twists and collect them in a covered elastic. Roll the ends under and secure them with bobby pins. Spray your hair with some more hairspray and you’ve got a feminine and pretty hairstyle. You may want to ask your hairstylist to help you the first time you try this style. She can show you how to handle your hair and help you select professional products that are best for your hair texture and type.

Lauren Conrad was instrumental in making the dipped hair trend popular. Now she has let her fans decide to have the ends of her hair died peach. She ran a poll on her website giving them a choice of whether she should have her ends colored peach or not. She says she got the inspiration from the model in the picture. She saw her in a runway show and thought the color would be pretty in her hair, but a bit toned down to peach instead of orange.

Could this be a new trend? The peach color does look very nice with her blond hair. This is another example of how a celebrity can influence how we wear our hair. While you may not want to wear lime green ends or even watermelon pink, peach could be subtle enough for almost anyone who is brave enough get away with. Peach would look best with blonde or light brown hair, but you could wear it with dark hair after your stylist bleached the ends.

Some other options could be a mixture of peach and gold, peach and caramel or an all over peach color if you feel adventurous. You could actually use any color you liked and have your stylist tone it down a bit to a pastel shade. So would you wear peach hair or another fruit color?

Dipped hair is similar to peek a boo hair because you don’t color your entire head. It is also related to boho hair, but not all of the ends of your hair are colored. If you have layered hair the effect can be stunning with several layers of brightly colored hair falling down your back. Lauren Conrad is a celebrity that recently had her hair colored with the dipped hair technique. Bright colors such as fuchsia, electric blue, neon green and bright yellow combine to create a very trendy and chic look.
