Dip Dyed.

Street Style, for your hair, with an ombre effect... Just the tip and all that jazz. Some of my fave photographers capture the two-tone dip dyed effect in natural hues as well as rainbow. I think come summer it might be necessary to take off the hat, at least part of the way...

UPDATE: This just in from Toronto Fashion week photographer James Lourenco. A bit more brazen on the "natural hair color" front, but still dip dyed and ombre.

I was also informed by my BFFAE (best friend forever and ever) Analeigh that the Man Repeller recently did a blog post on ombre hair. Great minds MUST think alike... What do you think of Leandra Medine's new do?

Feather Brain

This idea just tickled me. Feather hair extensions! Maybe it is my previous, elementary school love, for hair wraps- you know the kind you could get on the OC boardwalk, the rastafarian would wrap a braided section of hair with multi colored threads, typically in navajo or African inspired patterns, and ended the glorious concoction with plastic beads. OR maybe it's my secret hidden love for all things hippie and different. Whatever the reason I sweat this trend hard, like doing sprints in the gym.

Yes, this is the hair wrap's sophisticated boho older cousin. Refinery29 featured this little secret hair weapon accessory a few weeks ago. NYC based handbag and jewelry designer Wendy Nichol offers the service in her Soho studio/boutique for a mere $45, takes only 10 minutes and the extensions are said to last up to one month. Me loves. Not only that, Nichol has said,

 "The feathers are sourced responsibly, the colors are all-natural, and come from farm-raised happy birds." ... Me really loves!

Next time I'm up in NYC, I'm making a bee-line to Nichol's studio.

NYE Hair

Obviously I am getting my "hur did" (an updo or blowout at the least) today for NYE. I would not leave my own untrained hair styling skills to sacrifice my hair on this momentous evening. It's the longevity issue that is most problematic for me. I tend to play with my hair A LOT, but if I have paid for the way it looks I am less likely to F it up. A few ideas I have been thinking of:

Hopefully Megan at Salon Laurie can make either of these happen. Wish me luck! 

AND... Happy New Year!
