US weekly interviewed celebrity hair stylist Jennifer J and asked her how she takes care of Kristen Stewarts hair on the set of Breaking Dawn, Twilight series. She has good tips those wanting to create the same rich dark tones.
Q: What maintenance and care tips should I follow to keep my color rich and glossy?
A: First, you should definitely use shampoo and
conditioner especially for color treated hair, preferably sulfate free. A
gloss treatment is key for deep shine and richness. Deep conditioning
is a must for smooth and frizz-free hair and a shine spray will add
extra shine after styling.
Q: What went into perfecting Bella Swan's hair color and how can I recreate it?
A: In doing Kristen's color for Bella Swan, there
was a lot of layering in color involved. Kristen definitely has warm
tones in her hair and if you wanted to achieve this look, you would need
to end up with a chocolate brown base color with warm, amber and auburn
brown-toned ends. This is all done by layering semi-permanent color and
glosses.
Q: Whoops! My end hair color is super dark and isn't the shade I was aiming for! How can I fix it?
A: If it turned out too dark, using a clarifying
shampoo or Head & Shoulders will lift the color out a little bit.
Also, if you put a deep conditioner or an oil treatment in your hair and
cover your hair with a shower cap and a hot towel from the dryer, it
will also help pull the color out of your hair, but in a more gentle
way. If you did make a more extreme mistake, you should definitely see a
colorist that specializes in color corrections. Typically you can color
your hair again right away, but I would not recommend doing this
yourself -- you should really get an expert's advice!
