Spring Hair Trend: Rose Gold Highlights

Backstage at NYFW for Spring 2012, one of the most striking things I saw (that I really liked) was rose gold strategically placed in the models hair at Peter Som.  The highlights were drastic for the runway so the overall look hinted at a punky edge in the girls otherwise flowing waves.  Of course leave it to a celeb to step out with the look on the first day of Spring, Mad Men Actress, Miss January Jones. "We've been doing the same color for about 8 years so I thought it would be fun to try," commented her colorist Jennifer J., a Wella Professional Celebrity Colorist and Co-Founder of Juan Juan Salons.  "I brought a bunch of different colors to her house and the color was custom blended there.  When it looked perfect, we went for it and the outcome was amazing on her already pastel blonde hair.”

I like them.  I liked them on the runway and I like the way they look on January Jones (although I think hers are more pinkish).  Of course they'll look different on brunettes (it's harder to lift color and may be Fall already by the time you actually get to rose gold), but you can always fake them like they did backstage.  The answer: extensions!  I think I want them!  Yay or nay?
