SHOULD YOU GO HOLLYWOOD BLONDE?
There’s one colour every celebrity wants — and one stylist who provides it. Here she shows how ANY woman can have it...
There’s only one colour you should be asking your hairdresser for this season, according to the fashion crowd: a glossy hollywood blonde.
Dubbed ‘ blondeshell’ by Vogue magazine, the sunshine shade is as far from the past few season’s muted, mousy colours as possible.
According to the fashion bible: ‘The bottleblonde movement is seizing showgoers. Against a head of white-hot hair, suddenly everything looks a bit cooler.’
But as every women knows, it’s also the trickiest shade to pull off. Pick the wrong tone, and it can look cheap, brassy or yellowed.
That’s why the hollywood crowd turn to socalled ‘ Queen of Blonde’, colourist Nicola Clarke — who tends to Gwyneth Paltrow, Cate Blanchett, Kate Winslet, sienna Miller, Kate Moss and Madonna.
Kate Winslet recently gushed: ‘ There’s so much to be said of her skill and artistic brilliance, but the friendship and the fun times we have shared count for much more.’
so what are Nicola Clarke’s secrets? how do you turn women of all ages and hair colours — from greying to redheads — into blonde bombshells?
here, Nicola and her top team of hair stylists at new salon Nicola Clarke at John Frieda turn five very different women into beautiful blondes — and reveal how anyone can carry off this most desirable hair colour.
