Fashion hair colors can make a bold or subtle statement while being both temporary and expensive to maintain. While getting fashion color may require time and expense, achieving different looks with fashion colors can also be fun and expressive – the perfect way to experiment with new looks while expressing yourself. In 2018, many trends are featuring natural-looking fashion colors with dramatic accents such as vibrant blues, hot pinks, vivid purple hues or even fiery shades of red that create unique styles.
Vivid hair remains in fashion and many of us are drawn to trying something out-of-the-ordinary with our locks. Sometimes referred to as fantasy, unicorn or mermaid hairstyles, fantasy locks can be strikingly beautiful and completely transformative.
Attaining fashion colors can be challenging and may take multiple salon visits to complete successfully. From extracting old color, lightening several times and applying actual hair color itself all take considerable time and require plenty of planning ahead. Consult with an expert stylist who specializes in fashion colors; they know exactly what it takes to produce desired results.
Before choosing any hair color, it’s essential to understand your skin tone and complexion before selecting a shade. There are certain fashion hair colors which complement most skin tones and work as fashion shades that flatter them, including warm and cool browns, coppery auburns, toasty ash blondes and rich burgundies. A great way to identify which of these suits your face best would be holding up a shirt or scarf of that hue near it – they might surprise you!
If you’re a brunette, add warmth to your look this year by trying caramel shades. As evidenced by celebrities like Selena Gomez and Karlie Kloss sporting caramel-hued locks, caramel shades have become trendy. Another trendy choice is Louis Vuitton brown; inspired by aged leather of designer bags like Louis Vuitton. “This shade creates a gorgeous tan that works wonders on all complexions,” according to celebrity hairstylist Tom Smith.
Balayage is an effective way to achieve multi-tonal effects on lighter hair without bleaching all the way. Ask your stylist to blend brown or blonde locks with golden toffee or mahogany hues for an elegant and classic look. Another trend, popularised by Zoe Deutch and other brunettes alike, involves adding auburn tones into brown locks; this hue works especially well on brunettes who tend towards warmer complexions as it complements them well and complements skin tones more readily than red hues do.
