Coco Chanel that's who!
I'm certain that she had a sense of self and knew what felt good on her body and her head and feet. How did she ever come to possess that self assureness? Coco (Gabrielle) was orphaned as a child in the late 1880's. She started at the top (of the head) by opening a hat store. From there she starte designing clothing. Coco introduced the "little black dress" in 1926. And then her signature scent Chanel No.5. Even the way that perfume name is written is simple elegance.
It's so easy to go with fads or "fashionfades" with our hair instead of remaining with our "style".
and it's OK, that is sometimes how we learn what we don't want. I remember when I had a perm and it was not for support of a style it was "THE STYLE". For years I'd cross My fingers and say "Oh not me any more." But if I needed to support a hairstyle Then I may change my mind.
The thing to remember is to question the stylist how to maintain color and condition. Same goes for massive bleaching throughout your hair. Bleached streaks of hair does not look the same as your unbleached hair. They need more conditioning and will react differently to curling or straightening irons.
Keep in mind fashion fades.... hair grows.... your style evolves.

Is it the economy or Palin?
An interesting question for a client to sit down and ask me today was....Is the reason for hair going darker this season, in response to the economy or Goveneor Palin's haircolor?
We discussed it for awhile. How did the question relate to my client and what she wanted. She just wanted to know that we did not have to follow the seasonal trend of darker hair color, She's a BLONDE! There were lowlights done last appointment 9 weeks ago, so none were needed this time. The hair was not bleached out from too much summer sun. Doing lowlights 2 times in a row can dull the hair dowm and darken it too much on the ends. So we did the same highlights, buttery blonde, no toning needed, YEAH!
So back to the client's question, I think it was a random one. But, there's other women asking the same question.
First, every fall color goes darker because of the overlightening of the hair from the summer sun.
Now for the Palin color question. finally a woman not trying to lighten her hair. It appears to be a nice brown auburn with a few blended (toned) streaks. The color looks sheik, BUT, that clip on the back of her head how jogger mom can she be on the podium. If Palin is wearing a 500$Italian glasses why the cheap 2$ clip. Hmmmm. I love a bargain, but.....
