Tie-dyed hair

Here's Jessica Simpson at this year's MTV Movie Awards. Notice the gradual change in color towards the ends of her hair. I'm not into matching your hair color to your dress (which I think might have been the idea here), but using a temporary color to sort of tie-dye the ends of your hair is kinda cool--something fun for a night out. If you can still find Color Pulse mousse, you could use that. Or go to a beauty supply store and browse the temporary color section. Roux makes liquid temporary colors that might do the trick.

For you fashionistas out there, I thought I'd just drop a note... We just added free fashion show videos at BeautyRiot. This is the real thing, front row at New York's Spring Fashion Week, as well as priceless vintage fashion show footage. More will be added every month. Right now we've got Michael Kors and Bill Blass from Spring 2006, and a Bob Mackie show from the '80's (much ado about sweaters!). Enjoy :)

Uma Thurman: America's Prom Queen?

Every year during April and May, BeautyRiot gets a surge in traffic as young women search for prom hairstyles. The Oscar's always provide lots of inspiration, and this year was no different. The top three most popular updo's were all sported by actresses at this year's Academy Awards.



Uma Thurman's hairstyle was far and away the most popular. While Jessica Alba and Reese Witherspoon (natch!) came in at second and third for updo's. The preference was clearly for loose, wavy, unfussy, romantic styles. I approve!


Another interesting trend was the rejection of updo's altogether. Long, wavy tresses worn by Jennifer Aniston, Ashley Olsen, Hilary Duff and Mischa Barton drew top views by BeautyRiot.com's April and May visitors.

It seems to me that America's young women are actually developing seriously good taste!

Are they reading Celeb Looks?

You might recall that I recently suggested that Lindsay should go back to red, Paris chop it off and that everybody swear off extensions for a long, long time. Well, ask and ye shall receive. I'm in celeb heaven because my girls just look so good!

Here's what should happen next in my ideal world: Lindsay and Hilary need to clean it up all little and go for something a little more chic like Nicole or Jessica A.
