Drawing inspiration from the hair style trends of our favorite stars and celebrities has become a national pass time. One such star hair is Karen Allen. As the heroine in the “Raiders of the Lost Ark ”, she became a spunky role model for a generation of young girls. Karen’s new flirty-do’ complements her bubbly personality and time challenged life style. 

TO GET THE LOOK:  Are you up for a new hair style and looking for inspiration? If that’s the case, try Karen’s face framing style and lively chocolate toned hair color and watch heads turn when you show up with this spunky new look. Best of all, this shapely-do’ is a time savor and almost styles itself. To get the look, let’s take it one step at a time; starting with a custom style cut and shaping.

LET'S SHAPE IT:  For Karen's style, start with a shoulder length layered silhouette and brow brushing bangs to accent the eyes. This ultra-feminine style can be dressy or casual and suits most face shapes, especial those large foreheads and high cheek bones like Karen’s. With a few adjustments (trims) as it grows you can easily find the ideal length for your face shape for your style.

LET'S STYLE IT:  Start with a puff of styling foam or spray gel for style support.  Comb either through damp hair and comb in place to dry au natural or give it a quick tousle with a blow dry to pump up the volume. After, if the hair looks a bit on the dry side or frizzy, a dab of styling cream will tame it. For a glam look, a quick turn around your styling iron or a handful of steam rollers gets the look. After, simply brush or finger comb and finish with light hold hair spray and you've got Karen Allen’s star style.

NOW, LET’S COLOR IT:  If your natural hair color is dish water blonde or ash brown and graying around the edges, a rich deep Chocolate tint will define the shape and wash the gray away for a youthful look. After, a clear glaze seals in the color and amplifies the shine. To keep this youthful look up, the new growth is touched up every four to six weeks.

This ultra-feminine style can be dressy or casual. And for your time challenged life this bouncy do’ almost styles itself. Just comb in place to dry au natural or give it a quick tousle with a blow dry to pump up the volume. For a glam look, a quick turn around your styling iron or a handful of steam rollers gets the look. The rich deep Chocolate hue defines the shape and washes the gray away for a youthful look.  When you show up with Karen’s tousled flirty do’ and youthful hair color don’t be surprised if some people you know don’t even recognize the new you. Change is the spice of life.
