Coloring the Red Carpet
Although the 2013 Golden Globe Awards honored a lineup of luminaries who hail from film and television, the haircolor was quite outstanding.
Here, George Papanikolas presents his awards for the best in show-and shares the coveted how-tos.
Jessica Alba |
Best "Bronde": Jennifer Lopez and Jessica Alba
Soft brown color melting into creamy ombr? ends produces the perfect "bronde" marriage of brunette and blonde.
"To get these creamy tones use an ash-based formula that will neutralize the red undertones," says Papanikolas.
Formulas:
Natural Level: 5
Base: Equal parts Joico Vero K-PAK Color 6A + 20-volume Veroxide
Highlights: Joico VeroLight Dust Free Lightening Powder + 30-volume Veroxide
To create the highlights, section the hair horizontally, backcomb hair and apply the lightener to the ends. Lift to golden blonde. For Lopez's highlights, apply the highlights to alternate sections to vary the tones.
Francesca Eastwood |
Best Bombshell Blonde: Francesca Eastwood
Va-voom! This crystal-clear, pale blonde is the ultimate in Hollywood glamour and the perfect shade for Clint's little girl!
Formulas:
Lift: Equal parts Joico Vero K-PAK Color Cr?me Lightenter + 30-volume Veroxide. Apply 1/2 inch off of the scalp to ends. Process, pull through to the roots and lift to pale blonde.
Tone: Joico Vero K-PAK Color TSB Silver Blonde Toner + 20-volume Veroxide. Process for 5 minutes.
Claire Danes |
Best Golden Blonde: Claire Danes
"This is a beautiful, bright, buttery shade," says Papanikolas.
"It's arguably the most perfect, flattering blonde. I like Joico Base Breaker to bring up the golden undertones."
Formulas:
Base: Equal parts Joico Base Breaker + 20-volume Veroxide
Highlights: Joico VeroLight Dust Free Lightening Powder + 20-volume Veroxide
Apply heavy foil highlights throughout the top sections and lift to pale golden blonde.
Debra Messing |
Best Cabernet Red: Debra Messing
Messing's cool red hue was a "smash" on the Red Carpet-the perfect accessory to her milky skin and black gown.
A fusion of gold, copper and red mahogany creates the perfect, cool, balanced red.

Jessica Chastain |
Best Copper Red: Jessica Chastain
Nothing steals the spotlight like an exquisite, vibrant red and on awards night, Jessica Chastain illuminated thanks to her shiny, copper shade. "When creating vivid reds like this for my clients, I love using a copper intensifier. It makes reds brighter and longer-lasting."
Formulas:
Roots: Joico Vero K-PAK Color 1/2 oz. 8G + 1/2 oz. 8GC + 1 oz. 20-volume Veroxide
