European catwalks and streets are buzzing with dark hairs be
at Balenciaga, Nicolas Ghesquiere or Gucci. Super models Carmen Kass, Lily
Donaldson, Raquel Zimmermann at the recent show in Europe appeared with much
more intense hair with tinted shades of warm caramel, chestnut and strawberry.
Look of the models are often selected which connote the clothes. Till today
blondes were the choice on the runways but the tides are turning around.
Natural brunettes are squashing off the blonde color from their hair and going
back to their roots whereas born blondes are applying dark shades to embrace
the new rage.
Stylists at the salons are encountering cases wherein
blondes are turning to brunettes. So what is all the new rage for? Survey shows
that brunettes are considered trustworthy and responsible; people tend to take
brunets more seriously than blondes. Hairstylist Laurie Foley who has a stylist
salon in the heart of New York says Chemical blondes comes in and ask for
cutting because of damage and I talk them out of cutting it all off. I tell
them they can get the illusion of healthy hair with the correct tone of
brunette. They can get that high end luxury look, but also incredibly shiny,
healthy looking hair. (Inputs from vogue)
Brunette helps not only cover grey but it aids in giving
extra color and dimension to the hair. Also due to financial reasons people are
going from blonde to brunette as it helps the client to extend their salon
visits. Foley says After going dark, almost everyone says how much shinier
their hair is, the cuticle shrinks and the hair looks shinier and healthy. Dr.
Helen Fisher, an anthropologist at Rutgers University, says blond is outdated
and a head full of natural, glowing brown hair looks more youthful. The blonde
is becoming more and more of the lady who lunches, the kind of woman who does
nothing all day except get her hair done," she said. "The blonde used
to be regarded as natural, and now everyone knows that it's not. Dark hair was
always considered sexy and attractive because it signified youth. Also with
every other female going blonde
brunettes
stand out in the crowd.
Celebrity hairstylist Oscar Blandi says
People are getting tired of the Paris Hilton bimbo-blonde look. They want to
look intelligent and sexy, and you can be sexy and be a brunette.
An opinion poll was conducted on forum
hub Blondes vs. Brunettes: Which do you prefer? This poll started in
2005 and went on for a year till 2006 with majority of the responses preferring brunette look than the blonde as blondes are considered to be plastic and glamorous
dolls as per the responses to that poll.
Even hair color companies have started promoting dark hues
looking at the popularity of the brunettes. Also looking at the global audience
especially in the African and Asian subcontinent people with dark skin prefers dark hues more than the blonde look. So this season get out the brunette in you and
enjoy the entire intense stare you get, all the while making you more glamour
and serious in your role.
