BLONDS. As invincible icons and ambassadors of Marylin MONROE’s ‘peroxide attitude’, they embody the image of female sexiness.
It should be noted that the palette of blonds is extremely wide and includes the accompanying highlights that range from beige to ash blond, not forgetting golden and coppery tones, and even mahogany blond for some [...]

This winter, we will bare the back of the neck and the sides, putting highlights in the spotlight!
This significantly “younger” unisex trend marks the return of the post-rock dandy look.
To be continued……
En avant toute
Cet hiver on dégage la nuque, les côtés et on propulse la mèche vers l’avant.
Très « younger » et unisexe cette tendance [...]

There are different schools of thought when it comes to color.
They include those who advocate natural hair color at all cost and those who do not.  For those who dare to color for color’s sake, here is a small selection of color effects.
It is true that with today’s technologically [...]

We pull, straighten and overheat it, and in the long run we make it suffer!
Yes, our hair has it tough and that is why, after a few months, it begins to form ‘split ends’.
This is a normal reaction if hair is not cared for.
Forget about miracle treatments, ‘grandmother’s recipes’ and compensating programs. They [...]

Here’s a good example of texturing on soft hair, with plenty of volume.
Many of us Europeans have this hair type, and we often fall into the trap of wanting to smooth it all down.
What we should be doing is allowing our hair’s natural characteristics to shine through, with a few simple techniques using [...]

Here’s an interesting way for you to add a hint of “flower power” to your hairstyle, to finish off your autumn look.
What’s more, the technique is really easy: a large triangle on each side of your head, loosely braided.
Zoe Macaron created this softer look using a clip, but you can transform it into [...]

The season’s ‘breaking news’ for hair: whether long, short, in a bob or layered, it will be on all foreheads. And it shall be long! Down to the eyelashes is a must.
I’ll admit that in the long run, it’s a little annoying, but there you go… steackstar has prepared a [...]

Are you a fan of oversize volume, of pinning your hair up into a beehive? In that case, here’s a nice way to get volume.
After washing and towel-drying your hair, pre-dry your hair with your head hanging down. Then blow-dry your hair using a big brush. Roll a Velcro roller into a lock [...]

We can never say it enough: beautiful hair requires upkeep.
There is nothing sadder-looking than dull, lackluster hair without energy.
Forget about “once every two months is enough”. Hair demands to be taken care of, with the same regularity as homeopathic therapy. Brush your hair every evening with a pneumatic brush made of boar [...]

Here’s a good example of color on an unkempt layered style.
Too often, we want to do too much in terms of highlighting, with highlights that are too wide or too blond. The result is a zebra effect.
The point of highlighting is obviously to enhance your hair colour, not camouflage yourself from carnivores! A good [...]
