02 Why

Why it works.

Hair frames your face. Cool, soft color matches your coloring, while golden, red and orange tones tend to read warmer than you.

  • Do

    Stay cool and soft. Ask for ash brown or soft ash blonde, and keep contrast low.

  • Skip

    Golden, copper and orange tones tend to read warmer than this season.

Say it like this

Cool and soft, no gold or red.

Ash tones, kept low in contrast.

Walk in with a shade that has a name.
