This summer, the trend for hair is simple & sweet: short cuts and bold colors. That's according to master stylist and owner of the ultra chic Columbia Heights salon, Destiny De've, Latrice Strader.
"My clients love how convenient short hairstyles are and [they are] easy to maintain," said Latrice, who rocks a super curly 'do with copper-toned blends of color. "They're perfect for any woman who doesn't have a lot of time in the morning to spend on her hair, but wants maximum style," she said.
And maximum style is exactly what you get with a razor cut 'do and the right color... a la Rihanna's video vixen look...
"Shades of red and copper look fantastic on brown skin tones and bright orange adds an amazing pop of color to more fair skin tones," said Latrice.

California Girls: Katy Perry's wavy bob is so hot... it melts your Popsicle!
And speaking of melting some one's Popsicle... it's been so hot lately that I have been having a hard time keeping my natural curly-kinky hair straight in the summer heat... so Saturday morning, I ran into LaTrice's salon looking for someone to save me from my BIG hair nightmare (see "before" photo below).

P.S. -- Audience: Say goodbye to my long curly locks (also known as "Sasha Fierce's broke cousin." From now on, I'll be sporting a short 'do! What do you think? Let me know in the comments section!

Thank goodness stylist Porsche was on hand to handle my.. umm... shall we say "situation," because the results were fabulous! (And my "situation" was so serious that I had two stylists working on me: Porsche and owner, Latrice).
Thank you ladies for the hair intervention! Next time, I'm going to bring my co-host Vanessa in for a makeover! (Although she doesn't really need it, she already has great hair :)
