Autumnal hair colour trends for 2013

A new season means a new you. As the leaves turn brown and everyone returns to school, university or work after the summer, autumn marks a chance for a fresh start. And why not start with your hair? Here are our favourite hair colour trends for 2013…

Honey Blonde – Out with the pastel, peroxide tones of summer blondes. Embrace a more natural look and try a rich honey blonde. Seen on the likes of Beyoncé, Taylor Swift and now Kim Kardashian, a golden honey blonde warms the face and is the perfect transitional colour from summer to winter.

Strawberry blonde – A strawberry blonde is a beautiful compromise for anyone a bit worried to take the plunge into blonde or ginger territory, perfectly complimenting paler skin tones. Perfect for the festive months, strawberry blonde is a much-envied and very rare colour naturally – so why not fake it?

Orange – Taking a natural ginger and turning it up to eleven, orange stands out against dark winter clothing whilst still being seasonal. Whether it’s a dark reddish shade à la Florence Welch or as bright as possible as worn by Paloma Faith during LFW, now’s the time to bite the bullet. Go bright or go home!

Chestnut brown – For those wanting to go dark without washing out your complexion, chestnut brown may be just the solution. With warming tones, chestnut brown suits all skin types and beautifully accentuates brown eyes.  We suggest styling this colour with soft curls for a natural yet eye-catching look.

Midnight black – Edgy punk style is taking over the high street, so there’s never been a better time to try black. To avoid a flat one-dimensional colour, try a midnight black. The blue undertones catch the light and add shine with a funky twist. This shade also brings out the colour in blue eyes and maintains a hint of colour during the dark months.
