BellaSugarUK — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 02:40:12 -0800

Last night in London, Zoe Salmon was given the honour of switching on the famous Marylebone Christmas lights, but this time she did it with brown hair instead of blonde. I quite like this rich and more mature look on her, however, I'm so used to her with pale hair, it's going to take a little getting used to. Vote below to let me know which hair hue you prefer on the saucy Ms.Salmon.

Recently, I made my yearly - OK, it's been more than a year - trip to the eye doctor. I've worn glasses for about 14 years now, and from one "trendy" frame to another, I've had lots of different looks. Since some were good, and others I'd prefer to forget, that was the inspiration behind this series of posts on choosing eyeglass frames. Since we've already looked at face shape, eye color, and skin tone, for the final installment of this series, let's look at how your hair color can help guide you when making a choice between those funky green shades or whimsical yellow specs. To check out some tips, just keep reading.

Goody Hair Care in the United Kingdom has conducted a recent survey of 3,000 women claiming that blondes spend take an average of six minutes longer to get ready than brunettes do. In fact, on average, it takes women with pale hair 72 minutes to beautify compared to the 66 minutes that it takes women with darker hair. How long does it take you to get ready? And, if you've been both a blonde and a brunette, have you noticed that one hair colour effected how quickly you got ready for a night out on the town over another hair colour?

To find out more fun facts about the beauty habits of blondes versus brunettes, just read more.

Leaving the house: Whilst brunettes are more likely to leave the house without any of their hair and make up being done, blondes spend excessive amounts of time showering, brushing their teeth, doing their hair, makeup and nails.
Beauty regimens: Brunettes can stray or vary from their skincare routines, however, three quarters of blondes stick to the same beauty regimen every day.
Who has more fun?The answer to this, whilst trite is blondes! At least in the UK, this study shows that blondes have a better social life than brunettes, as they go out more often. According to Goody’s Rose-Marie Jarvis, "We found that often it’s the time spent on getting ready that gives women a confidence boost."

BellaSugarUK — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 04:30:00 -0700

Within the past month, Canadian actress Rachel McAdams has dabbled in three different hair colour dyes. Back in August at the New York premiere of The Time Traveler's Wife, her hair was a shiny and rich shade of brunette. Me thinks it was a semi-permanent job because weeks later it looks faded, like some of her old blonde highlights came through. Then yesterday, she attended the Proenza Schouler fashion show with brand-new blonde hair. Out of these three colours, which do you find the most flattering on Rachel McAdams?

Trend Alert: The Brazilian Glaze

BellaSugarUK — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 07:30:00 -0700

Caramel highlights are all the rage this Summer. They give off the effect that you've spent your holiday basking in the sun, yet they are less maintenance than going blonde. According to expert stylist Simon Hill, the hottest new hair colour look is called the Brazilian glaze.

Just take your cue from the lovely Brazilian ladies like Gisele Bundchen, Ana Beatriz Barros and Alessandra Ambrosio. Their base colour is brown, yet they have those sweet and succulent coveted honey tones that have tonnes of shine and healthy bounce.

Lightening up just a little bit is also much healthier than heavy bleaching. To ensure that hair remains in good condition, Hill always begins with scattered highlights and then adds a toner for shimmer. Last but not least, a deep conditioner is applied followed by heat to maximise the treatment. The result is a sexy, unstructured style that's fresh and modern for Summer.

BellaSugarUK — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 04:30:00 -0700

A smiling Mischa Barton stepped out last night in New York City in a sexy outfit for a music party at the Cooper Square Hotel.

Out of these four colours in the past four months which do you think looks the most flattering on Mischa?

BellaSugarUK — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 04:30:00 -0700

Last night in Los Angeles at the premiere of The Ugly Truth, Katherine Heigl wowed the red carpet with dark auburn hair. Depending on the light and the angle of the cameras, the shade varies between red and chestnut brown, but it's certainly is a drastic change from her usual platinum look. The only other time I've see Katherine head over to the dark side was for her role in 27 Dresses. Out of these three colours, which do you like the best?

Which Hair Colour Do You Prefer on Jessica Alba?

All of this back and forth is making it difficult to keep up with Mrs. Warren's salon's visits as she's constantly ping-ponging between blonde and brown hair. Yesterday she was spotted shopping for sunnies and getting her nails done with a bleachy, almost yellowy shade of golden locks but just four days before she attended the BET pre-show awards dinner with dark hair. I like her better au natural (yes, by that I mean as a brunette) - how about you?

Check out this is a new and exciting look from Lauren Conrad! Even though it isn't permanent, (yep, her brown hair was just a wig for a photoshoot on Friday), I welcome the change from her typical long plaits. However, for those of you prefer LC as a blonde, have no fear, she's already back to her long, blonde style. Although we won't see her on The Hills anymore, she is getting ready to promote her new book LA Candy across America.

Study Proves That Bond Loves His Dark-Haired Ladies

BellaSugar — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 07:00:19 -0700

Are you a gun-toting, long- and dark-haired lady with a penchant for danger? Then James Bond will love you. I'm still getting over the fact that there was an actual Pussy Galore character in one of the flicks in the Bond franchise. I'm also getting over the fact that researchers from Cleveland State University took the time to delve deeper into the female characteristics preferred by everyone's favorite British spy. A recent study published in the journal Sex Roles proved that of the 195 women in Bond's first 20 films, 40 percent had black hair, 19 percent were brunettes, nine percent were redheads, and 27 percent were blondes.

Their average age was 26, and not surprisingly, he was more likely to sleep with the slimmer, younger, and better-looking women of the bunch. Also, while 007 seemed to end up in sexual liaisons with the longer-haired women, the study concluded that their hair has actually gotten shorter over time. Looking to get a snapshot of the Bond's ideal lady and his chauvinistic ways? The researchers recommend checking out Lois Chiles as Dr. Holly Goodhead (groan) in Moonraker or Lana Wood as Plenty O'Toole (ugh) in Diamonds Are Forever.
