The red carpet at last night’s Grammy awards was walked by a slightly racier set than the BAFTA’s red carpet. Not only were the dresses more unusual but the hair too. In particular pastel shades were in evidence, worn beautifully by both Katy Perry (left) and (right) Kelly Osbourne.
Although primarily an option for blondes, pastel hair is big for 2012 and there are a number of ways of working it. Directions do a range of unusual shades including pastels. The colour pots cost £3.95 each and the website gives basic instructions on colouring. Dyeing only the ends of your hair, known as dipping, looks cute.
Clip in coloured extensions are less of a commitment than dyeing and can be used regardless of natural colour. Priced at around £23 we found LaClips had a good range of coloured clip ins including blue, pink and purple. Or you could buy blonde extensions and colour them a pastel shade.
Coloured hair mascara is a quick and easy option. It’s almost like painting your hair so does dry quite hard but does wash out. Stargazer do a good range priced at £3.00.
