According to Tang, this upcoming season will be full of deep reds, warm browns, and icy silvers. “For people that like to embrace the holiday season, they gravitate towards reds and warm browns,” he says. “Icy silver is reminiscent of the winter season which attracts people to this shade during this time.”

When you grace your client with a gorgeous hair color for the winter season, obviously they’ll want it to last. To make your client’s color last as long as possible, Tang recommends using plenty of color protection, both in the chair and at home. At the very least, he says, a color protecting shampoo and conditioner like #MyConfidant are a must.
“A color depositing conditioner is great for some shades,” he adds. “The burgundy tone can be maintained with #MyRefresh Crimson Spell Conditioner. If you blow dry or use heat tools, a heat protectant product like #MyHero Collagen Shield Spray is essential to protect your color from heat.”
