Fall is in the ‘hair’!
It’s time to trade in beach towels for boots, lemonades for lattes, and most importantly, summer tangles for fall tresses!
As beauty enthusiasts and salon industry professionals, we have compiled this complete Fall/Winter 2013 Hair Lookbook for you to share with your clients and colleagues.
We predict this will be one of the hottest hair color trends of the Fall and Winter season!
Plum browns, with their gorgeous violet and red undertones, are a great option for your brunette clients who are looking for an edgy, yet professional look. This type of brown is highly customizable, allowing you to use more violet or more red, depending on your client’s desired result.
Celebrities who have successfully pulled off a shade of plum brown are Lana Del Ray and Kelly Osbourne.
The queen of cherry cola hair color is Cheryl Cole (pictured left)! Her olive skin tone paired with this reddish brown hair color is perfect for fall, and is a great model to suggest to your dark hair colored clients looking to add some spice to their hair color!
However, this color is so versatile, feel free to suggest it to your fair-skinned clients, as well!
2013 has definitely been the year of the redhead, and this classic color trend doesn’t show any signs of slowing down!
If your clients aren’t looking for a deep fiery red, try suggesting the cinnamon strands of the copper red family! Copper red hair color is a perfect choice for your fair-skinned clients who may be weighed down with too dark of a red.
This hair color trend is optimal for those clients who love to rock a light blonde year round!
Butter blondes are characterized by their platinum blonde highlights, accentuated with golden yellow pieces. While the upkeep may be a bit more demanding during winter, this is still a very trendy option for those blonde bombshells who love to “light” up a room!
Bronde!
Also known as the perfect combination of brown and blonde hues, bronde is perfect for darker haired clients who want to try out a lighter color, or for those typically blonde clients who desire a darker shade of blonde.
Bronde hair color can take many forms and can have ashy or golden undertones. The best way to achieve the bronde hair color for your clients is to stay lighter through the face and ends with well-blended highlights, creating a subtle ombre look.
The perfect middle ground between a butter blonde and a bronde hair color is honey blonde!
Honey blonde hair color was first popularizd by Jennifer Aniston in the mid 2000s and is definitely making another comeback!
Honey blonde hair color is characterized by predominantly warm hues, paired with well-placed, toned highlights. As a cousin of the bronde hair color trend, this look is best achieved with your ombre/balayage technique.
Perfect for your naturally dark leveled clients, chocolate brown paired with warm copper highlights through the mid shaft and ends is a gorgeous fall hair color.
Consider doing a full head of micro-highlights or a well-blended ombre to achieve this delectable fall beauty. These techniques will also maximize their color service, as regrowth tends to stay darker through the winter months with less sun.
Celebrities that pull this fall hair color off flawlessly are: Jessica Alba, Mila Kunis, and Megan Fox.
To really bring hair back to life after a summer of sun and heat, is a dark, rich neutral brown hair color!
No need to add any highlights for this one, this sleek and sexy hair color will draw from summer’s lighter pieces to create a shiny, multidimensional look.
