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.

Im wondering if its a good idea to go from black hair to caramel brown with blonde highlights?? ANy ideas??
what if your hair is darkest brown almost black but not there, then which color would be best suitable for doing streaks?? It should appear both glamourous & professional??
im sooooo tired of having black hair.... its actually really damaging. but i have gray hair already and i am only 24... what to do?!?!?!
Heey, i need help deciding what hair colour i should go.
I have naturally light brown hair, i dyed it quite recently, i done it dark brown with purple underneath, im waiting for it all to come out, i was wondering, do you think white blonde on top and a dark brown underneath will look okay? im worried it wont suit me because it will be too light because i have natural dark hair, help please. Would really appriciate it :) x
