Celebrity hair colourist Justin Anderson (who tends to the hair colour of Jennifer Anniston and Margot Robbie) summed it up best when I asked him about his hair colour predictions for this season. “I think that hair colour should always suit you; it should suit your lifestyle and it should suit your skin tone,” he said. “Think: when you see someone walk out of a workout and their hair is just a beautiful, natural colour that suits them, even if they’re not wearing any makeup—that’s good hair colour. It just works with every part of your lifestyle.” And other hair colourists feel the same way. “Recently, I’ve noticed hair trends have shifted to more subtle seasonal themes, and now more than ever, clients are looking to make trends work for them and not the other way around,” says Larry King, Redken UK ambassador and founder of Larry King. “When it comes to hair colour, clients are asking for mood-enhancing, dimensional looks that are custom blended by our colourists to reflect our client’s personal style and lifestyle… It’s all about finding the balance of what influences you and who you are personally.”
This season and beyond, the mood is to opt for a hair colour that’s perfectly suited to you. However, it can be tricky to know where to start when you’re thinking about trying a new hair colour.
