Who's doing the hair of the blondes Kate Moss, Kate Winslet and Madonna?

Nicola Clarke at John Frieda takes care of Kate Moss’s hair. If you are blonde or want to have lighter hair, Nicola is the person to go to. She has done Kate's colour for eight years. Besides Kate Moss, Madonna and Kate Winslet you could potentially also meet Cate Blanchett, Scarlett Johnsson or Gwyneth there.

Kelly Brook with her natural glossy colour gets hers done at Carol Joy, where Daniel Galvin Junior looks after her hair. Daniel Galvin Junior is the son of Daniel Galvin, celebrity hairdresser who styled the hair of Diana and Margaret Thatcher. Getting your hair done here is probably the most expensive as prices start at £250 but the salon is definitely worth a visit, being quite hard to find it looks more like a luxury hotel rather than a salon.

Kate Moss was seen last week sporting this medium length bob. No more fringe and the colour is the most fashionable this season platinum blonde.
Kate seems to have temporarily quit her trade mark messy hairstyle and went for stylish, sleek do with side parting - I think she looks like a spitting image of Faye Dunaway in "Bonnie and Clyde"!Faye Dunaway

Kate Moss medium bob "how to's":
1. Cut - the simpler the better. Hair should be cut just above your shoulder;
2. Colour - If you are natural blond - good on you. If not, think twice before reaching for peroxide - blonde is not everyone's colour!
3. Styling - Give your hair some volume with volume spray or conditioner and blow dry it smooth. I wouldn't advise using straighter as we are not looking for this dead straight look!

With Glastonbury only a couple days away, festival season is officially open! But everyone knows that festivals nowadays are not only about music. Fashion magazines are full of advice of what to wear and how to wear it during oncoming music fests - and rightly so, considering that 1/3 of girls going to a music festival will buy a new wardrobe for the event!
So if you are planning on going to Glasto or any other fashion show…hm…I meant festival, why not getting a festival hairstyle?! Below you’ll find a few suggestions for every type of hair!

1. Glasto style for long and mid length hair.
Long, messy hair goes with festivals like...well, it goes really well. Let your hair dry naturally: forget about hair-dryer and your pink GHD! Don't even brush your hair unless it's absolutely necessary - and you'll be a boho chic in no time!

2. Festival style for short hair.

Short hair is a great idea for a festival: you don't have to brush it, it may easily go without washing for a few days and if anything a bit of dirt may help you style it!


3. Festival up-dos.
This may be the safest option: bun combined with sturdy braid will not only give you the so much desired hippy look but it will survive sun, rain and mud!

Get the London look - fringe.

Kate's new stylish hair cut
Do you feel like you need a change in your life? I’m sure you do. But before you start packing your bags and tell your boyfriend it’s all over think about something less drastic: new hairstyle.
Let's talk: fringe.
With Kate Moss making the news almost six months ago with her new "Is it a wig?" look, always popular fringe was bigger than ever. I had to stop myself from running into the office toilet with paper scissors in hand to get the look...That's how cool fringe is.

Get the look:
Fringe suits everybody. Almost. Important thing is to choose the right type of fringe before getting the cut or there will be some crying.
Rihanna with long textured fringe
-short and choppy fringe looks great if you have a small face;
-short and straight is good for small faces with delicate features; avoid if you have a big forehead - short fringe will only make it appear bigger.
-sweeping fringe softens angular shapes and pronounced features;
-long and textured fringe gives round faces more flattering shape;
-the flick can widen a small face
-the big fringe this one can make you few inches taller!

It takes a few weeks to get used to a fringe - having all that hair on your face can feel pretty strange at the beginning. Give it at least two trims (most salons will do that for free) before you decide to grow it out again. If you like your new look, look after it - you should trim your fringe every 3 weeks on average.
Styling:
To get a really straight fringe point the hairdryer down and don't move hair too much - this will give your hair unnecessary volume. For a little flick use a round brush. If you thinking of growing your fringe out, work it in with your style. If your hair is long try to blend the fringe with the sides, by adding shape in the length at the front. For short hair, choose a style that goes with growing fringe.

No matter what fringe you choose, good fringe as any good haircut, can completely change your style: give you more edge, or make you appear more playful. Never hide behind your fringe; use it to bring out your best features.
