An Inspiring Celebrity for 2009 Hairstyles


Selma Blair is a great inspiration for 2009. She changes her color, cut and style often and knows how to accentuate a new look with makeup and clothes. In some of these pictures, she rocks more conservative cuts and color and left, she sasses up with bleach blond and a punk rock cut.

The Ups and Downs of Blonde



Blonde hair is iconic. Marilyn Monroe, Debbie Harry, Gwen Stefani, and of course, Madonna all out glamor and glitz with this fair haired hue. Before making such a huge step in the blonde ambition direction, you might want to think of the following items:
  • Taking your hair significantly lighter could cause damage to the structure of your hair when using “bleach.” Not everyone needs to have this type of blonding service and lighter hair can be achieved in most cases without it. The chemicals in bleach blast apart the pigment inside of the hair’s innermost structure and leaves holes in the cuticle protectors that keep moisture from falling out. Breakage, difficulty styling and color fade-age can occur following a bleach and tone or color correction.
  • Certain professional products can help the health of your hair after such extreme color services. For example, Alterna’s Caviar Blonde Shampoo and Conditioner have seasilk that energizes the hair and imparts a cool violet tone to enhance your shine and blonde hue.
  • Will the level and tone you have chosen compliment your features? Will the makeup you wear need to be altered? What products will you need to assist the health of my hair after lightening? Ask your stylists here at Emerson and we will tell ya!
  • Design your hair with your stylist to determine how much long term maintenance you prefer based on your budget and wishes. Don’t go blonde if you have natural dark brown hair and can’t keep it up every month. You don’t like the grow out line and neither do we!
  • Blonde is sassy, fun, sexy and fashionable. If people are banging down your door because we made you blonde- don’t complain,….work it!
