It’s time to look ahead to the hair colour trends that will define the Autumn/Winter 2024 season. Brian ‘Leo’ McCallum, Owner of ROAR Hair & Beauty salon group, presents his forecast for the coming season’s most captivating colours.
Drawing inspiration from the rich colours of nature’s autumnal palette, Leo explores the vibrant copper-orange tones and multi-dimensional reds that are set to take centre stage and the unexpected allure of deep purples. Leo’s A/W24 captivating colours promise to breathe new life into your clients’ looks.
Vibrant Copper-Orange
“I’m obsessed with this vibrant copper-orange hair colour, says Brian Leo McCallum of ROAR Hair and Beauty. “I think it is poised to be a major trend for autumn/winter. The warm, rich tones evoke the colours of falling leaves and seasonal spices. This makes it a perfect choice as the season transitions. This striking hue adds warmth and brightens complexions.
“It’s versatility is also appealing – it can be bold and edgy as seen in the first, collection image with its multi-tonal effect, highlight some streaks of yellow. It can also be commercialised to be more subtle and natural as seen in the salon image’s soft balayage. The colour also works beautifully on various hair lengths and textures. Its ability to be customised from intense orange to softer amber shades makes it appealing to a range of clientele. This eye-catching yet wearable colour is sure to be a popular choice for clients looking to make a statement while staying seasonally on-trend.”
Rich Autumnal Reds
“Rich red tones are set to be a major trend for autumn/winter once again. The rich hues evoke the colours of fall foliage. This colour range once again offers versatility – from the bold, multi-dimensional copper with yellow accents in the collection image, to the striking solid orange and the multi-tonal reds in the commercial looks. This is a prime example of a colour that can easily be adapted to become more wearable.
“Its versatility allows hairstylists to customise the shade to suit a wide range of clients, from those seeking a subtle warmth to those desiring a more dramatic look. This eye-catching colour palette is likely to be highly requested by clients looking to refresh their colour.”
Deep Allure
“Next are vibrant purple tones, which I think are set to be a popular trend for autumn/winter. The epitome of the trend is displayed in the collection image I created with deep plum tones. The colour then ranging towards more commercial looks showcasing a magenta hue and lifting into a warmer and lighter red shade.
“This colour allows clients to make a statement while still maintaining a polished and refined look. These rich jewel tones are particularly flattering in the cooler months, adding warmth and depth to the overall appearance. This gradient of purples to reds creates a flexibility, allowing hairstylists to create bespoke looks that align with each client’s individual style and comfort level, making it another trend that can be embraced by a wide range of people.”
