Remember Richard?

His dilemma about whether to keep growing out or throw in the towel for the summer was made into a class project for the Sono Academy, one of the hottest new salon schools in the Northeast.  The project included not only his haircut, but color and styling advice.

Drumroll, please!

Academy Director Thea Tsiranides cut Richard’s hair similar to the winning Option #1 and enhanced his shade with a demi-permanent color by Wella. According to Thea, the haircut gives Richard “a more progressive look” and can be styled either flat to the head or in a “messy, spiky” fashion. Thea used Rusk Wired Flexible Styling Cream to create the look.

You look fantastic, Richard!

Oh! Oh! I LOVE THIS UPDATE!

Remember Cayce?

Cayce took heed of the majority vote and is now sporting long layers and sideswept bangs.

How gorgeous does Cayce look?

SO GORGEOUS, right? And check out her perfect ponytail bangs.

Thanks for sending in your update, Cayce!

Yesterday, after 7 long years of follicular virginity, I jumped back into the world of hair color. Highlights, to be exact.

Okay, the verb “jump” might be a little too strong…let’s just say I dipped my toe into the proverbial water.

I am happy with my natural hair color, but MAN, it gets tough browsing through photos every week while writing these makeover posts. I was craving a little change. So I requested a few auburn highlights from my stylist. Actually, I think my exact words were, “Subtle. SUBTLE. I SWEAR TO JEBUS IF YOU GO OVERBOARD I WILL HURT YOU.”

(I’m so glad she puts up with my slight anxiety when it comes to these matters.)

She told me not to worry and re-introduced me to my old friend, the foil.

And voilá! Shiny, VERY subtle auburn highlights!

Yay! Let the summer games begin!

I try to keep things on the non-snarky side around here, but OH MY GOD when I read this quote from Kate Gosselin in Entertainment Weekly, I died. Dead.

Everybody wants it. It’s work. I have very, very thick hair, so it’s not going to work for everybody. I’ve seen people come through the book line with thin hair and it’s just won’t work. My hair stylist gets calls from all across the country.

Everybody wants it? EVERYBODY WANTS IT? No no no, I do not want it. YOU SHOULD NOT WANT IT.

People, I urge you. DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS HAIRCUT. To put it simply, it makes the baby jesus cry, kills kittens, you know the drill.

US Weekly has the best photo gallery ever of what celebrities would look like with Gosselin’s hair. It pretty much made my day.

Remember Kat?

Kat already had beautiful hair, but wanted a little change. An overwhelming 91% of you voted for Kat to add some bangs to the mix and here’s the result!

Doesn’t she look great? She also followed the advice to stop highlighting and celebrate her beautiful rich brunette color. Kat says:

Your advice to go to one color – GENIUS. I love the all dark hair now. it’s much more glossy and looks healthier and totally easier to manage with no highlight appointments.

Looking gorgeous, Kat!

I’m not going to lie – the main reason I watch Gossip Girl every week is to check out Blair Waldorf’s hair and makeup. I can’t help it, y’all! It’s a sickness. (Although, last night’s prom look wasn’t my fave.) However, when I saw the above look on Leighton Meester at a recent event, I was instantly smitten. The rosy pink cheeks! The perfect lipcolor! SMITTEN, I TELL YOU.

The good news? I just found her makeup artist’s step-by-step info for this look at Luxaholics. The bad news? It seems the lip color and gloss he used is discontinued. Drat.

However,  Who What Wear recently posted about Meester’s personal lipcolor faves:

When she’s not made-up for the cameras, Meester slicks on a combo of Lancome’s Star Gloss in Siren with MAC Pro’s Longwear Lipcolor, using Boss Brown as a base, with Slave to Pink as a glaze on top. Unfortunately for us (and Meester too!), most of her selections are technically out of stock, but don’t worry, we’ve got the perfect substitutes. First of all, you’ll want to pick up Lancome’s Color Fever Gloss ($25) in Hotness. Then feel free to adulterate it with the classic MAC Pro Longwear Lustre Lipcolor ($21) in Boss Brown (which used to be paired with Slave To Pink in a limited edition combo) and MAC Lustreglass ($14) in Love Nectar.

If you’ll excuse me, I’m off to buy these lipcolors ASAP as I seem to be having a Single White Female moment. Toodles!
