Winter Hair Colors

Listed below are general rules for winter hair colors:
1. When in doubt go darker. Although platinum can be worn all year long, consider toning it down or only keeping the lightest strands around your face.
2. Stay within two to four shades of your natural hair color. If your hair color is dark brown or black, change it up with warmed lowlights such as rich caramels, milk chocolates or elegant merlots. Fire engine red is more of a Summer color. For Winter opt for a darker auburn or lowlights in the maroon or burgundy families.
3. If you really don’t want to go darker, opt for carefully placed lowlights that will give the darker illusion you went darker without a major overall change. This is also in keeping with a gradual color evolution.
4. If going darker is the best for your current eye and skin tones but you still want some lightness, weave in softer accent colors around your face.
5. Opt for natural colors whenever possible.
6. Remember to select colors that you can afford to maintain.
