Autumn 2019 Colours for Hair and Nails

Autumn is here! And for some it's about time. If you're one of those autumn people that have been waiting since January for your cinnamon lattes then you probably also can't wait to switch up your wardrobe AND your hair colour. Summer 2019 had it's moments and we saw everything from white babylights and rose gold to striking monotone blacks and tropical browns but now it's time to give our hair a break and ease into the softer colour trends of autumn 2019.

1. Cool Brunette Balayage

New from Matrix, a welcome addition to their cool brunette offering, new Power Cool shades available in both SOCOLOR.beauty and COLOR Sync. Balayage isn't just for blondes, and this autumn your brunette clients can upgrade their look with these deep icy cool tones. Using brass neutralising dye combinations and the highest concentration of Ash and Violet Tones possible, they ensure long-lasting perfect cool reflects. The Power Cool shades are also low in ammonia so hair is kept in optimum health. Go one step further and care for your Cool Brunette Balayage with the unique Brass Off range.

2. Auburn Inspiration

Auburn is a staple of autumn and the professionals at Wella have handily released two new shades in time for the fall. 5/43 and 4/3 in Koleston Perfect ME+ are perfect to use on their own or combine with existing shades to give your clients' hair those warm, red, smokey autumn feels. As with all KP ME+ shades, they use superior colour technology which ensures that the integrity of the hair is kept during the colouring process by containing the only oxidative permanent hair dye molecule to replace PTD and PPD. Feel inspired by their Pure Auburn Collection shoot.
