Colin Caruso, Artistic Director of Color for John Paul Mitchell Systems, shared the hair color trend of the season.
Rich chocolate browns are perfect for fall! Going richer and deeper gives your hair a break from the stress of lightening and normal wear and tear from the summer months. However, becoming a bottle brunette is not completely without its challenges. Going darker is a big decision, so it's important not to rush into it on a whim. Do your research prior to your salon visit. Here are few things you need to know before you go over to the dark side.
Pictures work better than words
Since color is subjective, it's always best to bring visuals of deeper/darker hair color ideas you like so your colorist knows exactly what you have in mind.
Understand the difference between level and tone
Level is how light or dark your color is. Tone is the overall hue or color of your hair. Typically tones can be warm cool or neutral. It's important not only to identify how dark brown you want to go, but to also identify the tone of the brown hair color that best suits your skin tone.
Prep for shock value
Going deeper/darker is a big adjustment and it can take a little while for you and others around you to adjust your to your new look.
Change up your make-up
Consult a professional make-up artist to help you select a new color palette that works best with your new darker hair color.
Protect your investment with the proper products
Once you invest in your new color, invest in the proper products to make sure it lasts. In order to keep your color deep and rich, be sure to use products made for color-treated hair to make sure you're not washing your new color down the drain.
