For those of you who are looking to take over the world with your blonde ambition this is the tone for you. Keep in mind this hair color is high maintenance, a root touch up every 4 to 5 weeks ladies. Your skin tone is a very important factor to consider when deciding if this hue is for you. It is not white, it has a slight yellow hue. If your skin tone has a red undertone then this color is not for you. Peroxide blonde compliments those with a violet undertone in your skin.

GOLDEN BLONDE
If Peroxide Blonde is not your color then express yourself with a beautiful golden blonde that looks very natural. The key to obtain this color is to not have any white/ platinum tones mixed into it. With this color, as long as your roots are well blended, it will look very natural. If your hair color is in the brown family then you may want to opt to having your locks single processed to a lighter color, then have highlights added in with a blind of golden tones to give you a very natural effect. This color looks good on almost all skin complexions.

RAVEN WARRIOR
It has been said that blondes have more fun, but Raven Warriors always get what they want. Blondes are not going out of style but they do have some fierce competition in this new decade that is among us. Let me bring to your attention the Red Bombshell, this is not copper red, this red is richly colored and very natural. For those of you with natural blonde hair you will need to make sure you choose a reputable salon where the stylist will understand that your hair will naturally pull a orange tone and they will need to take that into consideration when formulating your color formula. If you have naturally darker hair then your stylist may need to pre-lighten your hair to get you that perfect red bombshell tone. This hair color looks best on those with a porcelain skin tone.

MISCHIEVOUS BRUNETTES
What would we do without those mischievous brunettes? Brunettes have always been seen as sultry mysterious vixens and nothing has changed for this season except for the tone of brunette. Brunettes in the past decade have been very warm and glowing, for spring/ summer 2010 it is all about cool, icy shades of that ever classic hair color. Cool dark tones look best on those with an olive complexion.

BLACK
For the brave and the bold, black is back! Black hair was quite visible on the catwalk this season, especially short black hair. Black hair is not for everyone, it looks its best on those with olive to tan complexion.

The Groovy Granny Movement
For those of you who are looking to stay ahead of the trends, this is the color to consider. Shockingly, grey hair found its way on to the catwalk. You are probably thinking, WHAT? Well men have always been allowed to have grey hair, some men even look forward to going grey. Society has built a double standard around grey hair, men look more distinguished and women look like they are aging. In this new decade many woman are no longer fighting that horrible nightmare, their first grey hair, they are embracing it and some are enhancing it. This trend is becoming popular with young women, especially the townies and the hipsters in London and Paris. Keep in mind if you are not already grey, maintaining this color is as high maintenance as peroxide blonde, touch ups every 4 - 6 weeks. This color compliments those with porcelain and violet skin undertones. Consult a well qualified stylist for your exact tone of grey.
*** For those of you who love your natural color but would like to adjust the tone, you don't have to permanently change your hair color. Ask your stylist about a toner or a semi-perminant color that will fade out in 6 - 8 weeks. This will allow you to keep your natural color but enhance and adjust your natural tone for each season. This is a low maintenance, non dramatic, and cost efficient way of changing your look each season.
