Best trends for your hair colour: blondes, brunettes and redheads
What is it about the changing of the seasons that invites a physical transformation too? Ready for a new haircut or colour? Spring is the season of renewal and summer spells fun so these seasons mark perfect times to play with your style. Head to your hairdresser's chair for an instant update, but not before finding out which hairstyles are turning heads this season.
John Frieda's celebrity stylist Alain Larivee shares his professional perspectives on the hottest hairstyles and trends for spring and summer 2009.
Homemakers.com: What hair colour is hot now?
Alain Larivee: Spring 2009 is looking blonder than ever. You'll see rich, dimensional blondes: lighter highlights on top with darker blonde tones blended in the interior. Natural blondes can use shampoos that gradually and naturally lighten hair. If your blonde is colour-treated, try Sheer Blonde Colour Renew Tone Restoring shampoo and conditioner to keep your colour from going brassy and to help keep your hair looking salon fresh.Brunettes don't need to go blonde to be hot for spring. A darker brown tone, tickled with very fine brighter highlights is a refreshing way for brunettes to prepare for warmer weather. Brown hair can appear matte and dull so keep hair looking shiny and healthy with Brilliant Brunette Liquid Shine Illuminating shampoo and conditioner.
Homemakers.com: What about highlights?
AL: Highlights are in, but make sure that your stylist understands the difference between highlights and streaks. Fashionable looks are created with a multitude of fine light sections and not few thick light sections.
Homemakers.com: How can blondes, brunettes and redheads stay on trend this season?
AL: The best advice I can offer for all hair colours is using tone-appropriate hair care. Using the right shampoo and conditioner is a must. It's the best way to maintain shine and richness.
Blondes: Go blonder gradually!
Brunettes: Be brave and open to change -- add dimension to your colour with highlights and definitely add shine!
Redheads: Add lighter dimensional copper effects and treat yourself to a good weekly conditioning treatment.

Homemakers.com: Which celebrities are sporting the must-have look of the season?
AL: Karinne Vanasse, a French-Canadian actress, has a fabulous haircut: a modified layered bob with feminine carefree curls -- a great spring/summer cut. Also, Jennifer Aniston always has smart hair colour and is wearing braids and different hair textures. Rihanna's smart, short and versatile cut, as well as supermodel Gisele's fringe, come to mind.
Homemakers.com: What's more popular this season – long hair or short?
AL: This season, both long and short looks are in.
Long hair is individual: layered to complement individual bone structure. Versatility is a must, meaning length depends on the hair's ability to hold different looks during the day and night.
Hot and adaptable short haircuts worn straight and shiny with beautiful definition or soft and carefree are a look that is both bold and feminine.
Homemakers.com: How can you update a hairstyle, without doing anything too crazy?
AL: Strategically adding a few layers or modifying your hair colour for the new season are fun and easy ways to add a little change to your hair.
Homemakers.com: In your opinion, which celebrity has the hottest hair right now?
AL: The perfect example of good colour, smart versatile layers and style conscious sexiness is Gwyneth Paltrow's hairstyle.
Homemakers.com: Can you offer five tips for maintaining your hair this spring?
AL:
1. The number 1 trend is healthy hair. If your hair is dry, damaged or broken, it will always be a "don't."
2. You don't need to scream to be noticed. Simply have your stylist lighten up your look for the season.
3. Embrace your curls! Find the right products to sculpt your hair without crunch or frizz.
4. Change up your look! With the help of heat styling tools like curling irons, flat irons and hot rollers, you can transform your hair. However, always protect your hair when using heat styling. Frizz-Ease Heat Defeat Protective Styling Spray works with heat tools to condition and straighten strands as it helps block humidity and rehydrate hair for ultra-safe styling
5. Trends are meant to influence, and not dictate! Avoid being a fashion victim and start your visit to the salon with a conversation about how to make your hair reflect who you are.
