A-lister celebrities of all ages have been experimenting with bold hair color choices. Whether it is in the form of streaks, dipped ends or overall base color, bright hues have been gracing the heads of many celebrities, says Pravana Color Director Vadre Grigsby.
Hot Pink Streaks
The pink hair trend is the "IT" color in Hollywood currently. Nicole Richie just recently dip-dyed her hair, revealing her new look on Tuesday, posting on her blog as well as her Twitter with the caption "Tickled Pink!" Nicole is now part of the growing group of celebrities brigtening their hair with this eye-cating color.
Who else has hopped on the pink bandwagon? January Jones, Ashley Tisdale, Brooklyn Decker and Lauren Conrad have all experimented with the trend.
TRY IT: To achieve hot pink strands pre-lighten the pieces you would like to color to a light pale yellow using PRAVANA Pure Light Power Lightener. Follow up by applying the following VIVIDs formula on the lightened pieces: 3 parts VIVIDS Magenta + 1 part VIVIDS Pink + 1 part VIVIDS Yellow. Process for 30 minutes.

TRY IT: To achieve Actress Jamie King's blue ends, start by deciding where your blending color will begin. Pre-lighten the hair with PRAVANA Pure Light Power Lightener to a light pale yellow for the blue section and a pale yellow for the green sections. Mix the lighter color first and apply from the starting point through ends. Mix the second darker formula and apply this over the lighter shade wherever you want the darker color to start. Process 30 minutes.
Lighter color formula: 1 ounce Silk Degrees Shine Treatment + 1 drop VIVIDS Blue + 1 drop VIVIDS Green
Darker color formula: 1/2 ounce Silk Degrees Shine Treatment + 3 drops VIVIDS Green + 2 drops VIVIDS Blue.
