Haircolor Trendwatch 2010: Pop Art Blonde!


Let's be realistic, in the world of blonde hair; yellow is anathema. We spend our hard earned cash to ensure our blonde stays pale and pure. We tone away brassiness, maintain the fight on lemon and use neutralizing violet shampoos and conditioners like they're going out of style BUT.....should we? Maybe we should embrace this oh so disrespected sunny hue and go atomic! It's quite the unexpected choice. It looks punk rock extreme and yet gives off an aura of Technicolor glamour. In the 30s, 40's and 50's, movie studios often had their black & white promotional photographs hand colored, which gave blonde actresses bright yellow tresses. It can also be seen in cartoons, in the pages of comic books, pin-up art, and in the work of pop artists like Roy Lichtenstein. Give up the fight and go glow!

Bright As F@#$ Yellow hair dye by Special Effects

As someone who was a teenager in the 90's, I definitely dabbled in the world of extreme hair color. This is by far and away the BEST funky color hair dye on the market! It's a conditioning, semi-permanent cream formula that stays brighter and lasts longer than any other out there. Apply it to dry, freshly shampooed, UN-conditioned bleached hair and leave on at least an hour, longer if possible. The color will last 2-6 weeks (depending on hair type), gradually washing out with each shampoo. Oh, did I mention this color glows under black light?!

Lil' Blonde Darling: Lita Ford!

Blonde Beauty Icon Lita Ford

Originally getting her start as the lead guitarist in 70's all-girl teenage rock band The Runaways, Lita Ford became Metal's most glamorous dose of estrogen in the 80's! Her debut solo album, Out For Blood was released in 1983 but it's title single failed to chart. She didn't find commercial success until her junior album, 1988's Lita which featured slick arena rock/pop-metal hooks and the #5 hit single Kiss Me Deadly. Armed with killer pipes and a vast array of "specialty" guitars, she was what every late 80's skank and rock stars girlfriend aspired to look like. Let's face it; her fashion choices defy the boundary's of good taste (thank Jesus!)....and unlike say, Samantha Fox (who was a pop tart masquerading as a rock star), Lita was a true Metal Queen in every sense of the word!

The outfit is amazing BUT is that guitar is made from a locomotive?!

Biker chic!
