Drawing inspiration from the hair style trends of our favorite stars and celebrities has become a national past time. One star whose hair styles have inspired women throughout the world is the Queen of Pop Madonna. For over a quarter of a century, Madonna has been a music mega-star, a pop culture provocateur, movie star and a global style icon. Few can match her flair for reinventing her image and uncanny ability to predict trends. Ever the trend setter at 50 plus, Madonna continues to set the standard for style and glam in a grown-up way.

TO GET THE LOOK:  Are you approaching 50 or pushing the big 60 and feel it’s time for a totally new hairstyle? If that's the case, take a styling lesson from this style icon and let everyone know that you’re still in the game. Updating your hairstyle does not need to be drastic. Often all it takes are a few well placed snips and a splash of color to create a fresh new look. For those that love the feel and feminine look of long hair Madonna’s versatile face framing style and sexy hair color would be the perfect staring point. To get the look, let’s take it one step at a time, starting with a style cut and shaping. 

LET’S SHAPE IT: To get this versatile “two in one” style, start with a shoulder length or longer contoured silhouette with youthful up-lifting face framing layers. This ultra feminine style cut suits both straight and natural wavy hair and most face shapes, especially those with large or angular facial features like Madonna. With a few adjustments (tweaks / trims) as it grows you can easily find the ideal length and shape for your style. 

LET’S STYLE IT: To put your style in motion start with a styling mousse for volume or straightening balm for a smooth straight look. For sexy up-lifting face framing waves a quick blow dry, few twists around a styling iron or a handful of hot roller is all it takes. For slick smooth straight look give it quick press with a flat iron and a dab of hair polish and you’ve your ready for any occasion.

NOW, LET’S COLOR IT: Actresses change their hair color often for the roles they play and Madonna is no exception.  Madonna’s dark brown hair is given a rich warm auburn hue with a high lift tint to define the shape and wash away the gray. After, Honey and Carmel blonde highlights are sprinkled throughout with a foil weaving technique pushes the glam bar to the max. To maintain this creative coloring effect the new growth is lightened every six weeks and highlighted every three months. This may cost a few extra bucks, but is well worth the price for a totally new image and all the attention you'll get.

Madonna’s ultra feminine style has all the bells and whistles to let everyone know there's a new girl in town and she's ready to rock. A quick blow dry and styling iron adds soft up-lifting face framing waves or a smooth straight polished look. The multi-colored hue with Honey and Carmel highlights is a work of art and thing of beauty. Your new look pushes the time clock back and style bar to the max. You’re sure to get rave reviews when you show up looking years younger and ooh-so stylish in a totally grown-up way with Madonna’s color and style.
