Coloring Your Hair At Home? Don’t Follow Brit’s Makeover Habits

To those of you jonesing for dramatic hair color makeovers à la Britney or the Olsen twins — hold on a minute. John Frieda head colorist Sharon Dorram-Krause, whose clients include Kate Hudson, Kate Winslet and Linda Evangelista, warns that non-celebrities should proceed carefully. “I don’t recommend it for the layperson because they don’t have a colorist at their disposal, and the hair really takes a beating [in the process],” says Dorram-Krause. “A lot of times [stars] aren’t doing these transformations overnight—it happens over stages.” She recommends deep conditiong with L’Occitane’s Shea Butter or adding Vitamin E tablets to a Kerastase mask for “an extra boost.” And if you do decide to color your hair yourself, make sure you do a strand test on an underneath layer of hair to see how the color will take, says Dorram-Krause. “Otherwise it’s months before your hair looks good again.”

She is going to break her hair!!! What happened to the cute bob cut that was her best look since the “come back”

j January 5th, 2007

huh. don’t follow brit’s MOTHERING habits either!!!

Wendy January 5th, 2007

I can’t stand that bob, or those fakey-fakey extensions. I LOVE the dark-chocolate brown color on her, though. I think she should stick to that! It looks PRETTY, and grown up.

T January 5th, 2007

She’s hideous.

Jason January 5th, 2007

Well gonna have to disagree when she appeared on david letterman’s show the second time I thought that was the best she had looked in 2006 but sadly she had to ruin it by putting hair extensions back on and not dressing very flattering and doing way too much partying.

Jason January 5th, 2007

Well calling her names constantly isn’t anymore respectable than the things that she has done.

I’ll be sure to following the hair dying tips when I win a pile of money. The average person cannot afford a hair colourist or stylist. Oh and J, truer words have never been spoken! So funny!

What happened to her? if you look at her 2 years ago she looks like a different person!!!!!!!!!! She also got a little heavier since the time she payed a visit to David letterman

The bob looks a nightmare cant stand it! and the dark brown is ok But blonde britney is best i bet u all agree lyl n i hope britters releases a come back single or albums soon in 2007 xxxxxxxxxx

I think that she is stupid along with her hair. I like it how she says sorry to all of her fans and expects everyone to forgive her. SHE IS TRASH and there is no reason for her actions. . .and on top of that she says she knows it was wrong the way she has acted and the CONTINUES TO DO IT????? This girl needs help and is she going to give her kids to friends like she gave everyone of her dogs away to friends because it was to much with dogs and babies????? WHATEVER Brit you are sick and heartless and I feel terrible for you kids that have a mommy that only thinks about herself.
