The word "ombre" is out and "illumination" is in for the color technique of darker hair on top and a lighter color on the ends. This fall the trend is still as strong as ever but the severity of dark to light is not as extreme as the past look. Opt for a soft blend of color from scalp to ends, even breaking the look up with highlights. If you are feeling more daring hot colors such as pink, purple and blue are trending to have at the ends of your hair.
Here is an example of 'illumination" that I recently did in the salon:
For redheads your color is always rocking this fall. Moving away from last years rich deep reds, this season softer red is in. A softer, less extreme red is more suitable for all skin tones, so it's easy this fall to be a redhead and shine. Check out Emma Stone, she does this look perfectly.
Blondes. It's time to tone it down for fall. No doubt the summer sun has brightened your hair up to a level that is off the charts. The key to blonde this fall is natural and multi-dimensional with a touch of ash. Gwyneth Paltrow and Julianne Hough have the best example for blonde this fall.
On a side hair and fashion note, guess what? It's Fashion Week in NYC! Here is a link to get all the up to date information.

I have always been terrified to do anything to my hair with color. Maybe you can give me a few tips on how to style my hair that I recently cut mostly off! I never know how to style it when I am in a hurry. I am extremely excited to read everything that you have to say about hair.
ReplyDeleteHey Shelby! I would love to help you out! I'm exciting we are in the same "circle" for this course. Would you like to share hair tips on here or I can chat with you after class?
ReplyDeleteThis is something I want to try, the last time I had any color in my hair was like 3 years ago, my junior year of high school because I didn't want to put up with it anymore but I definitely would love to try this.
