People have coloured their hair, rouged their faces and decorated their bodies all over the planet for thousand's of years. Although you may feel you're the first one ever to take the big plunge into a new hair colour, this couldn't be further from the truth.

What is the reason for this? Because colour is eye-catching, men and women have sought after to attract each other since Adam and Eve. That's why I'd enjoy to see more people experimenting with colour. It's pleasurable. It's sexy, and it's risk-free.

The Victorian idea that self-decoration was somehow conceited now belongs to the dark ages, and should be given the cold shoulder once and for all.

Colour shouldn't just be an instrument to camouflage grey hair, it should be used creatively to improve your look and to make you feel good. 

You may not like the amazing pinks and purples of the early eighties, but I feel that the young people who have recently experimented with limelight colours have done us all a lot of good by shaking up the hairdressing profession so that in the salons we've been required to take a fresh look at colour.

You may not desire a bright green or orange crop of hair, but you may well want a lovely rich auburn or chestnut shade - and it really is very trouble-free to achieve these colours.

Several people would benefit enormously from having colour added to their hair. It would boost their cut or hair style and lift it out of the realms of the boring into something truly eye-catching.

Colour also lends warmth to the hair (particularly if you add a touch of red to the mixture) and some products give the hair extra shine. Even blonde hair, which tends not to gleam as 'glossily' as dark or auburn hair, can be made to shine and sparkle.

Highlights help, but you can also use a hair spray which contains silicone so that as soon as the light hits it the shine bounces back.

So act toward hair colouring light-heartedly, don't be scared of it, lighten up your life and lives of folks around you.
