TouchBack Plus offers great products for in-between colorings!

Kristina Barricelli, expert hair colorist and owner of Gemini14 Salon, urges all her clients (including Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez) to toss out that the played-out, breezy ombré look and switch to a sharper style this winter. Kristina thinks that every woman should strive to achieve a look that reflects her strong personality. Starting with your hair, perfect a look that is bold, confident and full of intrigue.

TouchBack Plus Color System: brings your color back to life by depositing rich, warm hues

  • Adventurous brunettes should try the dark auburn shade, which will deepen the dark hues while adding a dynamic auburn sheen.
  • The color system comes out in just a few washes, so the look is commitment free!

Are you ready for something new this winter? I AM! I went much lighter (for me) over the summer, and I think I’m ready to darken things back up a bit. Maybe I should go black like I did in college. Just kidding, mom, get back up off the floor.

Each application gives a boost of added color to both natural and color-treated hair and lasts through 2 shampoos. Provides dual UV fade protection. Smoothes and repairs damaged hair.

This is what Kim Zolciak’s REAL hair looks like – why on earth is she wearing wigs!?

‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ star Kim Zolciak has been quoted in the past as saying she’d never leave home without a wig on. But after seeing this picture of her real hair, I’m wondering why on earth she’d ever put a wig on!

The mother of four might be turning over a new leaf! The reality star, 34, Tweeted this picture with her natural, shoulder-length hair. Her hair stylist Niki Toney-Pressley said “Yes people she has hair!! Just blew it out and it’s all real!!”

Kim revealed her real tresses during an episode of Don’t Be Tardy For The Wedding in June, dispelling rumours she was bald or thinning.

‘I think my wigs are a big part of my life,’ she said as she was preparing to marry Kroy Biermann.

‘Kroy likes it too, he likes my hair,’ she continued. ‘I know I have great hair b****, but I love wigs.’

Kim returned to TV screens on Sunday night when the new season of the Real Housewives of Atlanta kicked off on Bravo.

She wore a long straight wig with heavy bangs for the season premiere, which saw her being evicting from her family home because of a dispute with her landlord.

I can’t get over how beautiful she is with her real hair. I can’t imagine why on earth she CHOOSES to look like that (below)!

I have used this treatment – and I can tell you it is AWESOME. This pre-shampoo treatment is under $10 – and you wouldn’t believe the results you’ll see!

This is an amazing new therapy that repairs damaged hair from the inside out. Used on dry hair – before you shampoo- the hydrolyzed collagen plumps the hair cuticle with protein, transforming rough, damaged hair into smooth, silky, youthful-looking hair. It eliminates frizz and smooths the hair, leaving a healthy shine. With just one use, you’ll see a remarkable difference in the way your hair looks and feels!

What I love about this product – is you can put it on your hair BEFORE you get in the shower! You can go about your business, and let it work it’s magic – before even stepping foot in the shower!

Oh how I love me some Umberto.

PIC: Kim Kardashian spends over $2,000 on her Halloween costume wig!

Kim Kardashian dressed as a mermaid for Halloween, and Kanye went as her captain.

Kim’s wig is drawing attention today, as it’s been revealed she paid more than $2,000 for it!

“Even though the group was lively throughout the evening – posing for pictures, dancing, ordering bottles of Midori – Kanye stole a couple of sweet moments with Kim,” a source tells PEOPLE. “They kissed a few times and he was rubbing her back. At one point, she whispered something in his ear and his face lit up.”

“Kanye kept bragging to his friends about how beautiful Kim looked,” the source adds. “And that he loved her as a blonde!”

“Fun times last night @kanyewest @joycebonelli @carladibello @simonhuck,” Kardashian Tweeted on Sunday.

As the spokeswoman for Midori, Kim hosted the 2nd Annual Midori Green Halloween party in New York City.

I know I’m probably going to get a lot of flack for this, but I just think she is so unattractive. Her boobs are GROSS, she wears too much makeup, she just looks….. plastic. Not a fan.

Jennifer Aniston becomes the face of new hair product line created by MIT Scientists!

Living Proof announced last week it is joining creative forces with Jennifer Aniston as she becomes a co-owner and hair care spokesperson in the ground-breaking company. Living Proof was founded by Dr. Robert Langer, Institute Professor of MIT and by Jon Flint and Amir Nashat of Polaris Venture Partners, a leading venture capital firm that supports the translation of scientific discoveries into meaningful products. Living Proof has distinguished itself by attracting world class scientists and utilizing advanced scientific technologies that originated from MIT to solve women’s toughest beauty problems.

Ms. Aniston will actively help build the Living Proof hair care business using her understanding of what drives our culture and hair trends today. Her role will involve hair care brand development and creative marketing direction for Living Proof’s hair products as well as collaboration with our leading stylists and scientists on new hair care product ideas.

Aniston explains her decision to partner with Living Proof: “What caught my attention about Living Proof is the company’s unique approach to hair care — using scientific technologies to offer women actual proof in a bottle rather than hoping for results. I’ve tried so many hair care products,” says Aniston. “Over the years, my hair has been subjected to everything…blow dryers, flatirons, curling irons, color, extensions, you name it. My hair has taken a serious beating. After using these products, I felt like I finally discovered a solution that works every day. I could not be more excited to share Living Proof with the world.”
