Fun or dumb?

I admit, I am partial to blonde locks. My roots may beg to differ, but at least I try to keep my hair looking light and luscious. That doesn’t mean to say I haven’t had my share of brown tones too – believe me, I have! To me, blondes do have more fun, and judging by the Grammy awards, the celebs are back to the bleach to once again test this theory.

At one point im certain every girl has tried ‘the Rachel’ – you know, Rachel Greene was the classy but sassy, elegant but clumsy girl-next-door from "Friends", who all the boys were after and all the girls wanted to befriend. Well, older and maybe wiser (we can judge that from her hair!), Jennifer Aniston has returned to her Rachel ways from Rachel days, and gone blonde again. Now, when I found this out naturally a smile just spread across my face – I think she looks great!

However, blondes may have more fun, but I think Beyonce may have had too much fun with the bleach this week. Showing up at the grammys sporting a new Barbie blonde mop of wavy hair, I think its fair to say that sometimes it is possible to go too far. Tone it down Beyonce! We will always love you – you don’t need to make this much of an effort to stand out – especially with that voice!

Finally, I’m ecstatic to say – BRITNEY IS BACK! With her new track ‘Hold it Against me’ obviously comes a new video, and to be completely honest, half of my interest in a song is the video that goes with it – and Britney – you did us proud J looking healthy and happy, Brit never fails when it comes to dancing, and whipping her renowned long blonde tresses, we cant wait to see what comes next!

John Travolta braves the natural look!

Was it just me, or did it warm the cockles a bit to see John Travolta chilling out on holiday with the family sans hair-piece this week? The Daily Mail ran with the headline, probably surprising many a fan who didn't realise the star has some subtle help in the follicular department, but we think that he looks just great au naturel and applaud the confidence he obviously has. It just goes to show, as hair brand Aussie reminds us- "there's more to life than hair (but it's a good place to start!)"

Hair Raising Times at the 2011 Brits!

You know how it works – a big night of star studded celeb glamour always equals a
brutal head to toe style analysis from me, and the BRITS are no exception...

Kicking off, I think someone really should tell Avril Lavigne’s hairdresser that they need a bit more training. For me, the green and pink highlights were not a hit – and Avril didn’t look too keen either! Someone should tell her, if shes unhappy – at least fake it!

Someone who does fake it (and without much recognition) – is Mark Ronson. Where has he been hiding lately? His black and white hair may not be to everyones taste, but I certainly fell for him all over again!

Was it just me, or did you notice the newest trend – the plait? Tess Daly played it safe with the always glamorous alice band plait, Liz McClarnon swept elegantly through the red carpet mayhem with her mouse plait, and Sara Cox? We’ll leave that for you to decide.

So all I can say is thank heavens for the BRITS. As I was slowly slipping into a cold weather slump, the celebs come along and make me remember that I’ll always have fashion to keep me upbeat. Even if I’m staying home in pjamas, somewhere in the world, superstars are being papped looking hotter – or ‘notter’ than ever!

Short, Stunning and Simple!

2011 has already shown us some super-swanky styles, but hair just keeps on transforming and the latest trend? The short wig. Yes, you read that correctly – I thought my eyes were misleading me too – wig? Short? Surely that’s the biggest contradiction since “the great depression”, but its true! Cropped is hot – take it from the stars!

Paris sported the look first, many years ago on set, but seems to have returned to the short side, and is looking good! We all know that Nicki Minaj has a bit of a wig fetish, and lucky for her any length suits – and it seems that any colour does too, having most recently been seen with a green do!

One of the most well known case of the wig is our very own Peggy Mitchell. She proves that hair really can define you, as we wouldn’t recognise her without her ‘do – and Albert Square certainly wouldn’t be the same without her!

Also, can you imagine this little lady ‘workin 9-5’ without her signature style? Clearly neither can she! Dolly Parton says herself of not wearing her wig – ‘walking out without my wig? Never!’ 

We think that us ladies are the only ones fond of a short fix once in a while, but the men fail to let us down on this front – proven by John Travolta. This T Bird looks great with his hair piece, and reminds us of why every girl wants their own Danny Zuko! 

Another example of a man who loves his mane is Sir Elton John. Never one to disappoint in the style stakes, Sir Elton always dazzles us with his full head of hair to match his daring outfits. No matter what you think of the attire, his hair is always on point.

Age doesn’t make a difference when donning a hairpiece. Thinning hair, or total hair loss can be around the corner for anyone, its just knowing how to deal with it subtly – isn’t that right Declan Donnely! (We think you look great :) )
