Celeb Hair Colorist Kim Vo Dishes On His Top Hair Picks

Celebrity hair colorist and Shear Genius judge Kim Vo, who has tended to the locks of Kate Hudson, Kirsten Dunst, and Terri Hatcher, recently doled out some his favorite hair picks to Allure Magazine.  But first, isn't this tidbit about his life pretty remarkable??:

I was born in Saigon in 1970.  We escaped in the 1975 evacuation, in the middle of the night.  It was pretty traumatic."

I figured no one would care that I didn't speak English well if their highlights were pretty."

Okay, I just had to put that in here because I think it's great how he was able to overcome his rather harrowing choldhood experience and lack of speaking skills to become a star beautician!  Who knew?

But back to the point!  If you color your hair, try these out!:

John Frieda Luminous Color Glaze in Sheer Blonde (from $6.50 to $10.99 at Amazon)

Blondes should use this.  Gold tones fade in the summer."

Nexxus Phyto Organics Canopy Thermal Protection ($6.00 at Amazon)
