02 Why
Why it works.
Hair frames your face. Cool, defined color keeps your contrast sharp, while golden or muddy tones tend to read softer and warmer.
These match Bright Winter, and blue-black and deep cool brown match Deep Winter, because dark, cool hair tends to suit all three Winters. On True Winter, keep the color even and cool from root to end.
Do
Stay cool and defined. Ask for blue-black or deep cool brown, and keep any highlights clear and cool.
Skip
Golden, copper and muddy tones tend to read warmer and softer than this season.
