Consult with your stylist and take into consideration your skin tone and eye color. Hair color acts as a base for the rest of your look and can highlight or overpower other features.
Warmth vs/ Depth:
There’s a difference between adding warmth or depth (darkness) to your hair. Some people make the mistake of requesting depth when they really want warmth. When speaking to your Colorist, make sure to bring in photos of your desired look. If you want warmth, use words like rich, soft, golden or sun kissed to describe the type of warmth you would like. If you want depth, low lights, root shades, have your Colorist bring down the overall brightness.
Don’t be afraid to break the rules:
No one says you absolutely have to go darker for the autumn months. However, it is nice to play with the tone of your hair. If you have lighter hair you can add some soft low lights but make sure to keep it dimensional. Just because its’ dark out doesn’t mean you need to be. Brunettes and redheads would also look great with caramel or golden tones.
Go for a Gloss:
Glosses are a commitment free way to make a change for winter. You can update the tone or warm it up and it keep’s your hair shiny. It will even make your eyes pop.
