Jennifer Lawrence's new dye job: Should you go dark for fall?


 

Check these out, too...

Jennifer Lawrence looked seriously stunning with her dark locks at the Toronto Film Festival. David Babaii created a “high fashion look” for Jennifer’s premiere of her new flick, Silver Linings Playbook. Are you craving change? Fall is the perfect time to go darker and virtually anyone can go brunette, but before taking the plunge, check out these tips:

 

1. Do some research

Don’t just go for the first color you see. Figure out what shades are the best match for your skin tone. For example, girlies with fair complexions should go for hues with more honey and caramel undertones. Your stylist will know what’s best for your skin tone.

 

2. You can always go darker

As invigorating as going from bleach blonde to jet black sounds, most stylists recommend that you stay within two shades of your natural hair color. It’s easier to maintain and it’ll really pull together your skin and eye tones. Wanna go darker later? That’s cool, but just remember that it’s hard to go lighter once you’ve already gone too dark.

 

3. Know the differences
There are three basic dye types and depending on what you’re going for, you’ll wanna know them all. Temporary dye lasts only one wash and works well for short-term toning.  Semi-permanent dye lasts up to 10 washes and is great for the gals that aren’t quite sure whether they want to commit. Lastly, permanent dye is the longest lasting that grows out with the hair over time. This is the best option for rich, full color.

 

4. Don’t freak
If you wanna go a little darker this fall, go for it! Just follow the above steps and have fun with the whole process. Don’t take it too seriously because most mistakes can be fixed if not reduced. Transform your locks and check out how awesome it can be to rock a different shade!

Her hair color is great, but her hair looks so thin and blah. She should do something about that.

I love, love, love dark hair in the fall! My best friend is a natural blonde and I just dyed it brown for her and it looks awesome!! If you don't want to get rid of your blonde just get some low lights!

MOD MOD MOD MOD MOD- Do side bangs look good without layers? I'm considering getting a side bang but don't want the layers. Also, I have literally NEVER had any kind of styling done to my hair. Just trims. It's all one length right now but want to get something done to it. any ideas on what i should get done?

 

Hey girlie, you can have side bangs without layers. Side bangs are a good way to try something new. Talk to your hair stylist about what you should get done. They know what hairstyles look good with your facial structure, and they love to be creative and give advice.

okay so i need advice on 2 things...1, i RLLY want straight across bangs but idk how they'll look...im a rlly edggy person so i LOVE the look of bella thornes hair but idk howd they look on me...any ideas? and 2, as i said..im a very edgy person...my wardrobes rlly girly though and i hate it!!! what kinda of clothes should i look for , for an edgy persom like me on a VERY VERY VERY small budget? thanks(;

 

hey! 1) when you go to get your hair cut, ask the stylist for their opinion, they can give you good advice for the most flattering haircut for you 2) for clothes i'd recommend checking out thrift stores. You can mix and mach funky and edgy pieces for less money. Goodwill in particular is really cheap Smile
