Keeping blonde for A/W

“Although blonde hair is associated with the summer months, it can be a great colour to brighten up those sultry autumn days too. Think less sunkissed, just back from holiday look and more autumnal glow.

Take your shade down a couple of tones by asking your colourist to weave in a dark blonde or light brown hue into your blonde mix. When going blonde, keep it as natural looking as possible by getting your colourist to work two or three different shades of blonde into the hair as this will add depth and texture to your colour. The last thing that you want is for it to look flat. The best colours to go for in the autumn and winter months are caramels, toffees and honeys as they add warmth to paler complexions as don’t sadly  your tan has disappeared.

If you’re feeling a little bit brave then why not go for a grown out blonde which is darker at the roots and lighter at the tips? This look is still hot right now, look at fashionista Alexa Chung! She is proud of her roots and not afraid to show it!

Whatever look you decide to go for this season, make sure you keep your blonde in check with a silver shampoo to keep your colour bright and stop it from going brassy. Clynol do a great one in their new Care range, try Colour & Care Reflex Silver Shampoo (£8.90 300ml).”
