Blacks Prefer
Blonde Hair
As New Trend
Here's a new trend that is
sweeping the country—blonde
hair color on blacks. Along with
more avant-garde hairstyles,
more blacks are finding that
they, too, can have more fun as a
blonde without doing great
damage to their hair.
Hie midsummer issue of Shop
Talk, the professional trade
Journal for cosmetologists,
features a pictorial how-to for
achieving a dramatic blonde hair
color with black highlights.
“Previously, bleaching hair
Monde on blacks was considered
too harsh on the hair," states
8hap talk editor in chief Jean
Brannon. “However, today, our
research shows that more profes
sional stylists are administering
blonde hair color safely with the
use of preconditioning and deep
penetrating conditioners."
Also in the midsummer issue of
Shop Talk, Grammy Award win
ner CeCe Winans of the famed
brother and sister gospel duo,
toils of her Christian salon and
how she Juggles a major singing
career and business.
Another Shop Talk exclusive

hair-care manufacturers are up
to as they travel the road to the
trade shows in a special
