Whether created by nature or art, today’s blondes, brunettes and redheads highlight the best in haircolor.
Blondes. Brunettes. Redheads. Famous beauties from bygone eras may have had plenty of pizzazz in the “bod” department, but they’re really remembered for their stunning haircolor. Marilyn Monroe’s striking platinum locks made her a star. Rita Hayworth was an unknown until a studio colorist turned her natural, mousy brown hair a rich, strawberry blonde. And Ava Gardner’s raven locks are forever tied to her sex-kitten persona.
But unlike these beauties of yore who, once transformed, didn’t dare to alter their color, today’s haircolor habituates morph from blonde to brunette to red on a whim and strut their ever-changing colorations like prized plumage—thanks to state-of-the-art color formulations, not to mention the more intricate and artful color designs from talented beauty specialists like you.
