BY FLORA REIGADA Crazy hair and fun colors could become a trend for both boomers and seniors. “Coloring or streaking one’s hair in vivid shades of purple, green, red, blue and more, isn’t just for the 20-somethings,” said Jeannine Miller, a stylist at Styles Unlimited in Titusville’s Searstown Mall, Miller loves wearing fashion color in her hair and providing that service for clients who want to have fun. “I am over 50 and almost all my clients are as well,” she said. Miller explained that most people start with a couple of foils to see if they like it. Then, they are hooked. For Sharon Nardone, manager at Barbara’s Hair Design in Titusville, coloring her hair in creative colors was initially a business decision. She had received new colors from a distributor and wanted to know how much the hair needed to be bleached for the color to stick. She experimented on herself. “Most beauticians do this before using a product on a client,” she said. For her own enjoyment, Nardone continues to color her hair and recently included purple and green streaks.
