Hair Dye and Health Safety
Coloring your hair is really common, whether it be to add mahogany highlights or hide strands of gray. In fact, nearly 70 percent of American women religiously visit the salon to alter their look, but, as I'm sure many of you have asked, is the beauty practice safe? Quite a few studies have found no connection between coloring your hair and cancer, and multiple studies have looked specifically at breast, bladder, and brain cancer finding no connection to these specific types either.

Do You And Your Partner Match Your Hair?
Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds aren't together in real life, however they play an on-screen couple in The Proposal, and for the movie's Los Angeles Premiere they donned matching toffee-coloured highlights (find out how to get Sandra's tousled ponytail here. Brad Pitt has been known to change his hairstyle to match the woman that he is currently involved with. I don't see the harm in having coordinated his and hers hair, as long as no one's individuality is compromised of course.

Trend Alert: The Brazilian Glaze
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.
Victoria Beckham Reveals Solo Career Was a Mistake
Victoria Beckham posed in lingerie for Harper's Bazaar's special double cover December issue. While she was showing off her more relaxed curls at a basketball match with the family at the weekend, Victoria wears her hair in a tight top knot hairstyle for the 16 page spread by Alexi Lubomirski. FabUK has the lowdown on what Victoria said about her customers and her nerves and I've got extracts from her interview about her solo career, her future, Emma Watson, her exercise regime and the importance of positive thinking.
How Often Do You Get Highlights?
A few years ago when I got regular highlights, (which slowly but surely transformed me into a blonde), I'd go every four to five weeks to keep the roots from showing. This way my hair always looked, fresh and naturally sun-kissed. It became quite a costly and time-consuming commitment, but I really loved the way it looked.
Do You Prefer Ashley Tisdale With Highlights or Lowlights?
Back in August, Ashley Tisdale had bright, blond and highlighted hair at the High School Musical 2 Premiere. These days, she's sporting a darker and more sophisticated hair color with lowlights. Which do you like better?
Have You Ever Had Cap Highlights?
A few weeks ago, I bought one of those highlighting kits from the beauty supply store to give myself a few subtle highlights. Besides the standard mixing bowl, application brush, and product, the kit also came with a "crochet" hook and frosting cap, similar to this Color Trak Tools Xtreme Highlighting Chunking Cap ($3). I've had these frosty cap highlights before from the salon with decent results, but I don't know if I'd attempt to make it a DIY project at home.
Do You Like It When Men Highlight Their Hair?
I'm not saying that guys aren't allowed to cover up their grey, but men (albeit sexy men) who dye and highlight their hair just doesn't totally sit right with me. For example, check out hunky dad Billy Ray Cyrus at last night's Hannah Montana London Movie Premiere. Those streaks of bronzey-toffee give his hair character, but, also take away from any ruggedness that I associate with is country-singing roots.
Young and Gray? You Might Just Want To Stick With it
No matter your age, I'm sure you remember the first time you spotted a gray hair on your head. For me, I was 24. A random occurrence, I thought, although my dad was pretty much completely silver-haired by his late twenties, so I couldn't be too sure.
