01 Bring this to the chair

Three shades, by name.

  1. #15171E

    Blue-black

    Deep and cool, with a blue reflection.

    Ask for
    A deep black with a blue shine, with no brown showing in the light.
    Skip
    Black that dries flat, and warm brown creeping in near the face.
  2. #33282B

    Deep cool brown

    Dark brown with no orange or gold.

    Ask for
    Dark brown with a cool base. Ask them to check it for orange.
    Skip
    Reddish or golden brown, which pulls warm next to the skin.
  3. #5A1030

    Cool burgundy gloss

    A wine-toned gloss over dark hair, cool and not red-orange.

    Ask for
    A wine gloss over dark hair, cool, with no red-orange in it.
    Skip
    Cherry or copper reds, and a gloss that turns orange as it fades.

02 Why

Why it works.

Hair frames your face. A deep, cool frame keeps your depth, while warm, golden color near the face tends to read less clean on you.

Blue-black and deep cool brown repeat across the three Winters, because dark, cool hair tends to suit each of them. The burgundy gloss is the one that leans deep.

  • Do

    Stay in blue-black, soft black or deep cool brown. Ask a colorist about a deep cool burgundy gloss.

  • Skip

    Golden blonde and warm copper near the face tend to read less clean.

Say it like this

Deep and cool, no orange or gold.

A gloss, not a full color.

Walk in with a shade that has a name.
