ARE YOU bored with styling your hair the same way day after day? Then it is time for you to try out some cool `special effects'. The right look could become your signature. The best way to go about it would be styling and colouring, suggest hair stylists in the city.
Be it a hairstyle a la David Beckam, or the cool chic look sported by the actors in the Bollywood hit, `Dil Chahta Hai', the hairstylists are gearing up to transform the youngsters with a snip here and a cut there. With the changing fashion trends, hair styling has come to play a major part in setting style statements.
"We can even make customers resemble Cruella De Vil, the animal-fur-loving shrew of the Dalmatian series, with white fluffy hair on one side and black spiky hair on the other. We seldom come across customers who are daring enough to go in for funky styles," says Anitha, a beautician in the city.
The latest in fashion trends is colouring the hair or perhaps indulging in some streaking with light and dark shades to complement the skin tone, face and personality.
Beauty salons are fast becoming the favourite haunt of the fashion conscious youth. With youngsters aiming to sport the hairstyles of their favourite movie stars, beauticians and hair stylists are busier than ever before.
"Rani Mukherjee's light brown shining tresses and Preity Zinta's curly locks are the current fad among girls. The boys prefer Aamir Khan's cool look. There are quite a few Ricky Martin fans who wish to emulate his looks and we do all that we can to help them get the desired style," says Sudheer, a hairstylist in the city. The spiked hair sported by the Tamil hero, Ajith, is also much favoured by the youth.
"The demand for the latest hair-dos among the college-goers is restricted to the styles of the pop icons and film stars," Sudheer says.
To get that right shade of colour and the hip cut, make sure you head straight to a qualified hair stylist. A good hair stylist keeps himself or herself in business by closely monitoring the changing trends. "Today, it will be Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai who set the style trends, tomorrow it will be someone else. When customers come to us with demands that their hair be styled in a particular way, we cannot afford to say it is beyond us," says Sudheer.
In some cases, the specialists in hair colouring and styling are called upon to suggest what style would suit the customer most. Beauty salons are also going hi-tech. Computers come in handy to simulate images to convince the customer of the effect of different hairstyles and different colour tints.
An `element of drama' can be added to a certain look with the right hue in mahogany, burgundy and blonde. "Tints of copper, silver, gold and violet are also available. And it requires considerable expertise to decide which tint would suit a particular customer. The hair tint has to complement the skin tone," says beautician Anandavally. So go ahead, streak your hair, and make a new style statement.
