Tollywood superstar Prosenjit decides to go blonde. “With the rains comes this feeling of lethargy, mental drainage and a sense of boredom. And what better way to spruce up your life than to add some colour to it,” says Sharmila Singh, owner, Flora’s beauty parlour, at 29, Lake Road, where the star had his hair transformed.

“Colour lends that rejuvenated feeling and choosing the shade suited for you from a wide palette is essential to enhance your features and give it that added glow,” she adds.

For Prosenjit, the colour for the season is L’Oreal’s ash-blonde.

“It’s not completely blonde but has that Indian touch, giving the colour a natural flavour,” explains Sharmila. “It’s the most happening look for film stars in Mumbai as well.”

What’s more, men ? fuelled by screens big and small ? are becoming experimental with their hair, and colouring is all the rage right now.

The Tollywood king’s crown was coloured ash-blonde, in an almost “banana-style”, with the rest of the hair being left black. This creates a brownish tinge that looks more natural.
