Thinking Ahead to Fall Color

It’s never too early to be forward thinking, even if it’s in regards to your hair color.

According to celeb colorist Lanno Curiel, the fall season trend in color starts with shine, warmth, depth and contrast. Here are some tips from Curiel in keeping a perfect fall color trend....

1.All hair strands must reflect lots of light for ultimate shine.
Gloss treatments are important to the hair in the fall for the simple
fact that it maintains a healthier, lustrous, brighter tones.
Since you have less expose to the sun.

2. Warmth is a big factor for the perfect fall color.
warm tones brightens up any color shade.
since your hair strands may be porous due
to sun expose. This will make your color look healthier.

3. If you had summer highlights or a lighter tone color.
You must add depth; is the dominant hue of the color.
Using warmer color shades like reds, gelds, browns alone
or mixed with other tones it can guaranteed you a
richer, shinier, brighter tone.

4. One of the most important color trends this fall
is adding a simple twist to the left over summer color.
The trick is to add a contrast effect without altering the
levels of shades. Contrast color can be achieve by
applying 2-3 different color shades in different areas of
the head. Example.. you may use a light brown
on top of the head, med brown on sides and back, dark brown
on the nape. This will give you a very natural contrast
with lots of depth and shine.
