Good Hair Color vs. Bad Hair Color
By Genevieve Monsma
Even with world-class colorists at hand, Hollywood glamour girls still make wacky choices. Here, the fab, the drab, and the remedies.
5 Things I Know for Sure About Hair Color
By Rita Hazan, hair guru to Jessicas Simpson & Biel
1. It's less damaging to go from light to dark than dark to light.
2. Women tend to go lighter in the summer — and darker after a difficult breakup!
3. Blondes are sexy, brunettes are sophisticated, and redheads are born attention-getters.
4. If you get a major haircut, don't assume the old shade will work well with your new 'do.
5. Most of the time, hair color should be inversely proportional to length — i.e., short blonde hair can go lighter and brighter, while longer blondes look better warmer and deeper.

Brassy. Insider info: If you're a frequent color client, like Nicole Richie, your fragile strands risk major damage transitioning from light to dark too quickly. Advises celebrity colorist Rita Hazan: Don an in-between red for a few weeks.

Classy. Whether she's legally blonde or brunette is moot — she flirts with both. Which is exactly why Richie briefly went red.

Fab. Cameron Diaz's famous icy blues pop with both blonde and black tresses, but her skin glows more when she's goldie-locked.

Drab.
Insider info: Dyed-black hair can be striking — but also unforgiving when it comes to skin imperfections like breakouts, fine lines, and dark circles. To soften the look, ask for a multitonal brown or a few highlights.

Fab. Yes, her music's gotten more serious lately, but Natalie Maines's looks are lovelier when she lightens up.

Drab. Insider info:
Unfair advantage: Blonde strands can turn a curvy woman into a bombshell, while darker shades say the lady is a frump.

Fab. Mandy Moore, lucky girl, can pull off myriad hues. But while the chocolate brown is sweet on her, the rusty version's an acquired taste.

Drab.
Insider info: Red hair is a risk unless your skin has pink under-tones. Complexion-wise, Moore's literally a golden girl, so red and her skin clash, says Hazan.

Classy. Pop star Ashlee Simpson's better off warm and beachy — as opposed to just bleachy.

Brassy. Insider info: If you're fair-skinned, platinum strands can wash you out, says Hazan. Case in point: Simpson had to compensate for her hair's skin-sallowing effect with dark eye makeup and piles of bronzer. (And who wants to be that high-maintenance?)
