Seasonal Color Changes

Color Fun Wednesday

 

Now that Autumn is here, everyone gets the itch to change their color.  Naturally the hair will darken during the Autumn and Winter because the Sun is not as intense during these months and it is not lightening the hair as much.  So, as a way to keep your color looking natural, it is a good idea to mimic this effect by adding low lights.  Or, if you have a single color on your hair, darken your base color by one level.

 

Another one of my favorite ways to change your color for Autumn is to use the changing leaves as an inspiration for your color.  Warm, rich browns, deep copper reds, and honey or golden blondes.  All these colors will allow you to mimic the natural world around you.

 

Rich coppers with deep browns
scattered throughout leave an

intense feeling of Autumn.

A warm, rich brown with golden undertones that mimics falling leaves and hot chocolate. Both Autumn favorites.



 

 



A deep golden blonde is a great way to soften blondes that have been over lightened throughout the summer by highlighting and the sun.

This color technique mimics what natural hair will do when the Fall and Winter pass by. Hair is lightened by the sun throughout the Summer, and as the cooler months pass by, deeper colors grow out leaving a two toned color. This technique is called Ombre and it's becoming very popular on the west coast. You can see that both of these colors have a golden tone allowing this color to look like it naturally occurred. A few mid level highlights have been placed in the bangs to break up the deep brown of the top half of her color. This is also a great way to move your hair into Fall.


 

 

 

I hope that these ideas inspire you to try something new with your hair.  Color was meant to be fun, so play with it.
