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"!

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!

When seasons I change I always get the urge to do something with my hair - new haircut, new hair colour...anything!
Comes autumn with the orgy of colours everywhere you look - this is perfect time to go for a big, bold colour! In spring and summer I am always inclined towards lighter and more natural shades but comes autumn and winter - and I look longingly on deep reds, auburns, plums.
When choosing a new hair colour try not making hasty decisions - we know that bad hair colour is much more difficult to rid off than to put on!

Can you spot the difference?
A picture of Beyonce in a L'Oreal ad campaign (left) for Feria hair highlighting kit has caused recently a lot of controversy. And not because of the strawberry blond hair she's sporting in the photo! US newspapers have accused L'Oreal of "whitewashing" the pics by digitally lightening her skin. The New York Post, under the headline Beyoncé The Pale, called the advert "shocking" and accused the company of making the singer look like a "weird, nearly white version of herself".
Hair Craft won't comment on Beyonce's skin shade. But I will certainly take a stand against her hair colour! This ad is like a great warning sign:"FERIA WILL DRAIN THE COLOURS FROM YOUR HAIR, YOUR FACE AND YOUR DRESS". And I guess it's the last what we expect from our hair colouring products?

How many of you have cried their eyes out or were close to shaving their heads after unfortunate choice of hair colour? Hands up! Yes, I was there, with my hair the colour of scrambled eggs...Dying your hair is not as easy as the adverts make it. And I am not talking about the technique! That's the easy part! Getting the shade that compliments your skin, eyes and that you feel good in - that is the trick!
Are you cool? Your skin tone and eye colour play a big role in helping to determine which hair colour will be best for you. According to Carole Jackson, author of "Color me beautiful", there are two main categories, depending on the above: cool and warm.

Cool category:
- eyes: deep brown or black brown; grey blue or dark blue; hazel with white, grey or blue flecks;
- skin tone: very dark brown; true olive (most Asians and Latinos); medium with no color in cheeks ;medium with faint pink cheeks; medium with golden undertones ;pale with no color in cheeks ;pale with pink undertones ;brown or bronze when you tan;
- natural hair colour: blue black ; deepest coffee brown ; medium ash brown; medium golden brown ;dishwater blonde; salt and pepper; white.

If you were two or more of these, then you fall into the cool category. Naturally cool people should avoid gold, yellow, red and bronze tones in hair colour. These warm tones have a tendency to make you look sallow and drawn. The best hair colour shades, depending on your skin tone, are shiny raven-wing blacks, cool ash browns, cool blondes in shades ranging from mink to platinum and icy white. You're also fortunate enough to be able to wear many exciting "unnatural" hair colours like lipstick reds, burgundies, and orchids, purples.
Warm category:
- eyes: golden brown ; green, green blue or turquoise; hazel with gold or brown flecks;
- skin tone: brown with pink undertone; brown with golden undertone; pale with peach or gold undertones; freckled;
- natural hair colour: deep brown with gold or red highlights red; strawberry blonde; grey with a yellow cast; natural golden blonde.

If you were two or more of these, then you fall into the warm category. You should avoid blue, violet, white and jet-black hair, ash based hair colours which will seem to "wash out" your natural colour. Depending on your skin tone and your preferences, you'll find dark, warm browns, rich golden browns and auburn, warm gold and red highlights, and golden blond shades look best on you. Highlighting is a great way to add warm tones to your hair.

Uff...Got all that? In next article I'll talk a bit about colour wheel and matching shades with your natural colour.

Celebrities never fail to surprise us when it comes to hairstyle transformations. Few months ago Kate Moss shook the style world with her fringe. We can't keep up with Katie Holmes and her more and more radical haircuts. Last week Lily Allen revealed her new hair colour - from black she went to ash blonde!

The person responsible is James Brown - stylist to many A-listers and best mate of Kate Moss herself. He styled Kate Moss for the iconic 1993 Corinne Day cover shoot for Vogue.

Will Lily's new colour set a trend for summer? Or will she go back to black before we say "blonde"?
Let me know what you think of this new look? Hot or not?

Do you feel sometimes like your hair is never blond enough, black enough, red enough? Do you weep every time you have to wash your hair - you can see the colour fading away! If you answered yes to the above (and even now you are fighting of the temptation to have the roots done), you are a colour addict and in a need of hair colour rehab!

Rehab is one of the hottest trends in past few years. If you are addicted to drugs, sex, alcohol, work, or just need some quite time away, rehab is a thing to do. Usually couple weeks long, rehab will transform a shadow of human being into a glamorous celebrity we all know. But what about very glamorous but strapped for cash you and me? What can we do about our hair colouring addiction?

There are 3 parts to every rehabilitation process: detox, where your body gets rid of the harmful toxins, feelings etc. Therapy, when you are trying to understand why you are doing what you are doing. 12 steps programme to keep you straight once you out in the wild world again. How does that translate to hair? Quite simple really!

Hair colour detox: If you want to change your ways or you are fed up with your impulsive hair colouring decisions you need some radical solution! If you are ready for something really radical - cut your hair. It may be the best time to try out this new short haircut you were thinking of and it will speed up the colour removal process. Condition your hair with heat - hot conditioners help to remove your hair colour. Hot towel or plastic bag should do the trick! Expose your hair to the sun . Nothing will fade hair colour quicker than sun and if you condition your hair they will stay healthy despite the sun exposure!

Therapy See a professional and be open to their advice. Listen to how long the rehab will take and what it will involve. Write down the questions that you want answered. Listen closely to their answers. People often have selective hearing during consultations. This can lead to more heartache and disappointment.

12 steps This one is just a metaphor. I really can't come up with 12 steps of breaking up with hair addiction ..One: admit you are an addict. Two: You want to change your ways...In order to do that and stick with your resolution, take a picture of yourself with bed hair colour. Keep this picture as a warning - it will always remind you why this colour wasn't right for you and help you to avoid this mistake in the future.
Hope this will help you stay strong and stay away from the hair colouring products section of your nearest Boots!
