Step-by-Step: Warm Color Formulas

Remember those icy blonde shades celebs like Jennifer Lawrence, Michelle Williams and Taylor Swift rocked last year? We’re so over them. This spring we’re seeing a warming trend. Expect buttery blondes, rich browns, soft coppers and fiery shades of red. Blame it on the current obsession with hygge (hue-gah) a Danish concept that can best be described as warmth, comfort, coziness, and taking pleasure in simple rituals. Think of it as global warming, but only in the very best sense of the term.

 

Arrojo: Fire Starter

“Deep, golden, copper, fiery reds are right on trend now,” says Ashley Kowalsky, master colorist and team leader at ARROJO Tribeca in New York City, who loves Goldwell
reds because they give her the vibrancy and incredible light reflection she wants.

Goldwell: Gold Digger

The cut puts an ’80s spin on the iridescent color, which is the hallmark of the 2017 In Flux Collection from Goldwell. The blonde background color is a slightly reflective opalescent coral, while the combination of Acid Gold and Pale Grey creates fluidity within the shape through color and defines the lines of subdued shade contrast.
