Color shock is a straightforward option to give a vacation look some zing! Remember the hint-of-blue white
that Nicole Richie wore to the Met Gala last spring? And you’ll always expect Kesha to light
up the night as she did with this multi-pastel color on the recent AMAs.

For them, playing up the perimeter is usually a welcome suggestion. Show them the look worn by Lizzie Caplan of Showtime’s edgy Masters of Sex series. “Lizzie’s timeless, mid-length bob within the back with slightly asymmetrical sides is, was and should always be edgy!” says Indiana salon owner Nick Ciarletta, who has his own product line in addition to being a guest artist for Cricket’s Centrix line of styling tools. Nick offers steps to recreate the look:

STEP 1: Color the hot growth a medium brown that evolves into slightly lighter red-brown ends.

STEP 2: Cut long layers with a deep point-cut texturizing strategy to maximize styling options.

STEP 3: Use a twist-cut strategy to cut front fringe with a 1660 texturizing shear, with the intention to create controlled but uneven lines for a disheveled look.
