Out of everyone, Hugh Jackman is possibly the one who looks the most different depending on his hair.  He certainly wouldn't of got any wolf whistles with the first do though

Plum Is The New Red

Now were into a new year there's no better time to try a new look and the simplest yet most effective way is to change your hair colour.  Going into 2012, red is going to continue to rise in popularity across the celeb world and with us mere mortals!  There are so many different types of red to choose from but here we look at Plum red and how to care for coloured hair


One of the trend setters for this look was Cheryl Cole, once Cheryl got on board with this colour it spread like wild fire.  The key to red hair is choosing a shade that suits your complexion and Cheryl does this perfectly by opting for a darker, plumier red which suits brunettes perfectly



It's not often that TOWIE's Amy Childs would be classed as a trend setter but one thing you have to give the girl is that her hair colour is simply stunning, it suits her so well we'd be hard pressed to imagine her with any other colour - again she wears a plum shade of red.  So, after having 6 years of my hair being it's natural colour and being inspired a la Cheryl and Amy I decided it was time for a change 



So here's me au natruel - I love my hair colour but like I said, I've kept it this colour for 6 years so I decided to spice it up and Rock My Crowning Glory once more!


Ta da - like Amy and Cheryl I went for a violet shade rather than a harsh red, this really does suit dark hair




It even looks different shades in different lights - I love it here as it looks even more Plum.  Of course, all this is wasted if your hair isn't maintained and treated properly - especially with red hair as it's the fastest to fade.  If you are happy with your results you'll want to maintain the effects as long as possible so you will need to invest in the right products




For radiant brunettes and racy reds, this TIGI Bed Head Colour Goddess Gift Set features an amazing trio of treats for your tresses that lock in your colour while reconditioning and strengthening to leave you with super vibrant hair. These products have really helped maintain my colour and after several washes it's showing no signs of fading.  Packs are also available for blondes and include Shampoo, Conditioner and leave in Conditioner 



You should use a hair treatment once a week and even think of using a hydrating mask a few days before having your hair coloured.  We've said it before and were say it again - if you love your hair then you need MoroccanOil in your life. A therapeutic remedy for colour treated and chemically damaged hair, Moroccanoil Restorative Hair Mask penetrates deep into the hair shaft to help prevent damage caused by chemicals and other environmental elements like the sun and the wind.

Moroccanoil Restorative Hair Mask is particularly effective for fine, brittle hair as well as over processed and excessively damaged hair.  This mask instantly got rid of the dry feeling all newly dyed hair has and made mine feel it's normally soft self again

Hair Should Match The Outfit

Taking inspiration from the lovely ladies at this years Golden Globes, we look at wearing your hair in a way that compliments your outfit - not detracts from it


It comes from age learning that less is more as Charlize Theron demonstrates here - the dress has a lot of detail so she lets the dress do the talking by wearing her hair up in a simple messy side chignon.  The overall look is flawless


We have to say, Kate Beckinsale looks simply stunning as usual, she is the optimum of the English Rose.  Here her dress is simple yet effective and again, she has swept her hair up so as not to take the attention away from her gorgeous dress.  She's opted for an over sized tousled bun and this way she avoids too much going on at once.   When we are younger we tend to think we only look our best when our hair is down.  As we grow older, more confident and settle into our own style, we realise that isn't always the case


Somewhat proving that point, at last years Emmys, Glee's Lea Michele (who is at least 10 years younger than Charlize and Kate) showed a great example of how wearing your hair down can ruin an outfit.  The red dress is stunning but the detail is in the shoulders and back  - the effect of which is completely lost with her hair covering them.  Had she worn her hair up, we would of had the full effect of the dress and a knock out, cleaner look overall


You can still wear your hair down and show your outfit off.  Side swept hair is perfect for showing off one shouldered dresses.  Here's me in New York sporting exactly that.  I simply pulled my hair round and secured at the nape of my neck with kirby grips


Back to the Golden Globes; the key is to know which outfits work with hair up and hair down and Zooey Deschanel looks cute as a button in this Prada dress, her hair finishes the look just as any good accessory would

Reese Witherspoon

Reese Witherspoon is another one who got it right, this elegant dress teamed with tousled hair makes her look effortlessly sexy 

And we must say ladies, it's refreshing not to see a streak of fake tan insight, all looked fantastic rocking the pale and interesting look

So remember ladies, you don't always need your hair down in order to Rock Your Crowning Glory
