OMBRÉ
Known for its dramatic transition from dark roots to lighter ends, this popular technique is evolving to suit just about anyone. “Ombré is more gradual now—just one or two shades different,” McDonough says. Subtlety is key: If you’re brunette, try variations of caramel, as seen here on Sofía Vergara.

POP OF COLOR
A small application of bold color can have a big impact. “It’s not a total commitment,” McDonough says. “A few pops are very easygoing.” Your stylist can also apply the color so it’s hidden easily. Feeling bold, like January Jones? Try a cool lavender or light orange. Less daring? Go with a gold or mocha.

BLACK
Kim Kardashian’s glossy mane proves that black hair is far from boring. Glazing, a tone- on-tone layering technique, punches up a basic black with undertones of more-colorful shades. “This is not flat,” McDonough says. “You want to see dimension in the color, whether it’s a blue black or a cherry black.”

If my hair is black and I want a Carmel brown color what colors do I tell my Regis hair stylists to use?? Or what number I’m normally a 3 but I want lighter
I was in Lancaster Pa and so your beauty salon with a picture of the hair book the end of Feb 2012 and it had a picture of a short hair do with full bangs titled short cut to chic I would very much like to have that style but need the picture on the magazine to show my hair stylest can you help.
Thank you
Hi Jackie,
Your Regis stylist should be able to help you pick the perfect shade for you during a hair consultation or an actual coloring appointment. Bringing in a picture is your best bet to conveying exactly what you want and then your stylist can work to bring that color to life on you!
Hi Phyllis,
We usually transfer our celebrity images from the magazine to the Top 100 Celeb Styles section of our website. You can find those picures of Ginnifer Goodwin here:
