“As the seasons change, so should your haircolor,” says Redken Celebrity Colorist, Tracey Cunningham. Shades of haircolor that may work well with a bronzed summer glow may no longer be the perfect hue in the cooler months when your clients’ skin tone can lighten one or two shades.
Encourage your clients to explore a fresh new look that will transition into fall and winter – just as their closets make the switch, too! – whether it’s with a simple Shades EQ Gloss or adding a few warm babylights. Below are a few of Tracey’s favorite haircolor trends for the upcoming seasons inspired by her celebrity clients.
Fall/Winter 2016 Trend #1: Sophisticated Blonde
“I love an all-over creamy blonde for fall and winter. In the summer clients can keep their blonde with more roots and less highlight maintenance; however for fall and winter I love a deeper, manicured blonde with more complete color coverage. Charlize Theron is a perfect fall blonde – sophisticated and more put together than a summery beach blonde,” says Tracey Cunningham.
Fall/Winter 2016 Trend #2: Rich Red
“Bryce Dallas Howard does my perfect fall red – so warm and rich. A pop of chestnut in the hair creates a smoldering red that radiates its own heat as the temperatures drop. A deep red created with Shades EQ Gloss complements light or fair skin tones while adding amazing condition and shine to the hair,” says Tracey Cunningham.
Fall/Winter 2016 Trend #3: Brunette Babylights
“Warm babylights give brunettes the perfect ‘pick me up’ by boosting skin tone, especially in the cooler fall and winter months. Mandy Moore’s babylights easily soften her monochromatic brunette color, but the placement and tone of the color makes her hair feel warm and seductive, not beachy,” says Tracey Cunningham.
See below for Tracey’s Redken formulas to achieve each of the Fall/Winter 2016 trends. After their salon appointment, remind clients to continue to protect their haircolor using Redken Color Extend Magnetics Sulfate-Free Haircare or Blonde Idol Haircare to seal in color and deliver maximum vibrancy and shine.
