TRUE OR FALSE?
Q: If you pluck out one grey hair, 2 or 3 will sprout in its place.
FALSE!
A: Although not true that afew will sprout in its place, when the grey hair grows back, it will stick up and stand out becos it will be shorter than the rest and the grey hairs are usually coarser making them stand upright.

Another great video from videojug I love these tutorials, they are fun and creative. Keep them coming guys…
My Pick ~ Block Color
I chose this because I Love the color combination…
Unfortunately because I found this picture in a hair magazine, I don’t know who did the color so I cant even give them credit for it : (
But as you can see, the absolute perfection involved in doing this just to create the clean lines and perfect shades in color is amazing, no bleeding of colors, straight lines and perfect shade of blonde.
Hey… in fact, its so perfect that I hope it hasn’t been touched up afterwards !!!!

How to NOT look like a Japanese or Canto Popstar….
After living in Asia for several years, one of the things I noticed was how unattractive guys with longer hair looked. Now, don’t get me wrong, I have absolutely nothing against guys with longer hair, in fact I love it normally, so why is it I found these guys to be so unappealing?
After careful studies of haircutting and techniques and style in Asia I came to a conclusion that satisfies my query.
The method to hair cutting that is predominantly used in Asia is done with a razor, as we all know the razor is a great tool to use on thick coarse hair but the problem arises when the hair is OVERly razored…. resulting in a Japanese or Canto popstar look!!!! (Canto stands for Cantonese)
No offense to these popstars but in my opinion, one should aspire to look more like a ‘rocker’ rather than a ‘Japanese/Canto Popstar’. Overly thinned hair not only looks dated but also too ‘girly’ and ‘feminine’, the exact opposite of what is desired. In other words – Passion Killers!! See below for examples of what I mean……
Now in order to achieve more of a rocker look, the hair should still be razored but in a more controlled way. Hair should look piecey and not too wispy, unkempt yet not gelled looking, done yet not look done! There is such a fine line between the 2 that to some peoples eyes, I could be just talking a load of rubbish, but for those in the know, those subtle and slight differences in hair techniques make or break a look.
And for me,(and I’m sure alot of other women) they make the difference between: Rocker V Japanese Popstar, Cool V Cheesy, Funky V Feminine, Good V Bad and Sexy V Ewww!!!! As seen below……
So for all you guys out there, make sure you ask your stylist to give you a style that give you all of the positive traits and not wonder why women/men are not looking your way !! You have been warned!
My Pick ~ Black and Brown Combo
So I chose this hairstyle for a few of reasons:
1. The color combination is really cool, by combining black with brown, the differences are subtle yet enough to give it a more dramatic effect. The color really brings out the hairstyle which is what good color is all about.
2. The haircut is so well done, again with the combination of soft and hard edges, razored and blunt ends, showing up dramatically on strong straight Asian hair.
3. Hairstyle is soft yet edgy, wearable in real life, and complimentary to the bone structure of the model. Excellent! Well done!
Alexa Chung
Alexa Chung – latest ‘it’ girl from England, known for her great fashion sense and now host of MTV USA. I admire this girls syle and wanted to show you some varied looks that make this girl stand out with her simple yet original style, both in hair and dress. She has the perfect hair for the ‘unkempt’ look which makes out like she doesn’t have to try very hard at all! With her English mum and Eurasian dad, it looks like she got the best of both worlds working for her hair. Go girl!
My Pick ~ Asian Blonde
I chose this one for the color. Love the color! We all know how difficult it is to achieve a nice shade of blonde on Asian hair so well done for creating this color that is complementary to the skin tone, doesn’t make her look washed out and is not a tacky shade of yellow.
My Pick ~ Short and Blonde
This is one of my picks because I love this fun, funky, blonde rocker look! The top has plenty of texture creating the height to the style, (thanks to the bleach, which supports my article on bleaching hair for texture)
