If you're a redhead…
Whether you have a bright auburn hue like Rose McGowan or a deeper reddish brown like Debra Messing, give it an update by opting for semi permanent color. "It’s the best way to tweak red hair, because it’s not too severe and lasts around 20 shampoos. This lets you play with different styles throughout the season without doing a ton of damage," says Kathy Galotti, a senior colorist at New York's Louis Licari salon. Her favorite shades this fall are golden copper (for a soft, romantic lift), or a deep vampy red (for a dramatic, more polished appearance).
If you're a blonde…
Opting for a mini-makeover when your hair is blonde, raises the following questions: Do you want to go the white-blonde, brighter look like quintessential frenemy Heidi Montag? Or do you prefer a deeper, golden hue like Hills' star Lauren Conrad? If it's the former, then Galotti advises adding just a few extra highlights to the tips of your hair in a sunny shade for brightness. Removing a few highlights with reverse streaks of a more honeyed shade is the way to go for a color with more depth and dimension. Looking for a good highlighting kit? Browse our community reviews.
If you're a brunette…
Season after season, we've been seeing brunettes give their brown hair a reddish tinge. But for Fall 2008, it's all about taking this color deeper and darker into the brown zone. So if you're looking to tweak your hue, add warm chocolate tones for a style that looks equal parts pretty and polished. You can do this at the salon with auburn permanent color and a developer, or D-I-Y and opt for the myriad of color-depositing glazes on the market. Galotti guarantees that this gives brunettes the best of both worlds: a gorgeous depth of color and enviable shine.

not if you have black hair its harder to turn a dark color to a light color with out it frying your hair..
yea i know what you mean!!
Also, if your hair is NOT a dark brunette and you follow this advice, you will find it next to impossible to EVER get your hair lighter again. I have been impatiently waiting for my hair to lighten back up some, but now, 7 months into it, shade by shade plus highlights, my brunette hair has the copperish/caramel highlights all over and I have never gotten so many comliments from random people..they love the warmth and colors. Just be careful if you follow the "trend" they are suggesting...it's whatever looks good on you, NOT whats in "style" for the season...
I love this mascara it is very good for the price. It is compared to dept store quality to me.
This is good but what if you want to go a natural way to change your hair color such as using stuff around the home. Then what would you do? It is possible.

Having a bad hair day? Don’t let it ruin your day. The comedian Chris Rock will truly rock your world because of his documentary about the hair industry, called Good Hair. The documentary is packed with astonishing information, and takes on the hair industry and hair culture of African American women from anthropological, sociological, and economic viewpoints. According to an interview on Oprah.com, he got the idea from his daughter who complained about her hair just a bit too much for his taste. I think we should watch this documentary to give us additional tips of having a beautiful hair.
