Emerson Salon – Capitol Hill Seattle

Now that Dancing with the Stars new season is in full sway (we’re rooting for Evan Lysacek!) we nostalgically look back at previous casts.

In particular, Kelly Osbourne’s many hair transformations over the years show how altering your hair can completely shift your overall style. Her look is reinvented often with a change of haircolor, cut and product. At times she is fun and edgy and others she is modern yet elegant.

Recently, Kelly altered her favorite shade of blond to a more purply platinum beige tone. It flattens out her tonal value and reflects light in a more balanced way in order to draw more attention to her angular features.

Kelly most likely receives a bleach and tone service that includes styling with a high shine product. Want to try out her look? Use these tips:

• After an extensive bleach and tone service, use a deep conditioner like Moroccan Oil’s Reconstructing Masque for 7 -10 minutes. This will restore moisture and shine in addition to equallizing the porosity of the hair after extensive chemical lightening. You may do this up to 2X a week in the first month after your initial coloring service.
• Use color safe shampoo and conditioner in order to maintain the tone on overly porous hair. We recommend Caviar Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner which will extend your haircolor in addition to helping restore luster, manageability and shine.
• When styling, use medium to low heat as high heat will add to breakage and split ends on overlly senstive hair. Use Bodyguard Lotion by Kevin Murphy before your blowout to drive out excess water while imparting Peruvian Bark moisture. When finishing, use Rapid Repair Spray by Alterna. It imparts high shine while simultaneously aiding in its repair with a concentration of vitamins and lightweight silicones. Hint: This product is also good as a refresher on second day hair. It breaks down heavy product and also has a wonderful aroma to get rid of unwanted smells.

Here are some of the other looks that Kelly has worn:

We look forward to seeing the upcoming styles of the current season of DWTS. The great costumes and the hair! Who are you rooting for?
