Toning is always good with Balayage. My suggestion is to use the Matrix Brass Off Blue Shampoo because it helps to keep the golden tones clean and shiny with no objectionable brass.
I personally believe that this style is such a mood enhancer during the winter. It is a ray of light during rather short days and it is so flattering when worn in combination with cozy knits or even a good old black coat.
Glossy Cinnamon Brown
Here we find a cinnamon brown, warm, warm, that sort of shade that appears to be very comfortable and luxurious at the same time. It performs great in winter type hair color since it adds volume and warmth without being out of place with cool undertones. It is somewhat fat yet sweet, nearly a cup of spiced cocoa.
This shade will survive on moisture. The gloss and shine is maintained with a color-safe moisturizing conditioner, such as Pureology Hydrate Soft. It helps even the richest browns to appear flat when it is dry in the winter.
This color seems to be inexhaustible to me. It is friendly, cozy and stylish in a manner that does not seem obtrusive.
Modern Ash Blonde with Bangs
Ash blonde over darker roots, with lightly feathered bangs– this is one of those winter cool hair colors that is modern and refined. It is subtle without being overbearing on the face but still providing an extreme contrast in the palette.
I believe that this is a style that works best with smoothing creams, such as Living Proof No Frizz Nourishing Cream, that are capable of ensuring that bangs remain wet and the ends of hair soft even during rainy weather.
The difference with this shade is that it is versatile. It is as much a winter wardrobe chameleon as it is sleek and straight cut–chic with waves.
Soft Beige Blonde Glow
Lastly, this beige blonde is just the right combination between cool and warm. It is one of the most complimentary hair colors in winter skin and it effortlessly fits in the hair colors in winter palette. It glazes smooth but at the same time gives a glow that would suit all those who are in need of a lighter look during the colder season.
I would suggest that you always switch between the use of purple shampoos and moisturizing masks on this shade, as long as the shade is kept bright but at the same time moistures the hair. One of the personal favorites is Redken Color Extend Blondage Mask.
This blonde reminds me of a spring snow early onset. It is soft, shiny and matches well with loose cosmetics and warm winter whites.
Warm Honey Balayage Waves
Something ever fashionable about warm honey running through medium brunette. This appearance combines caramel waves, gold and light beige in a soft and natural look but polished. It is a beautiful option in winter hair colors, particularly in brunettes out to be luminous without compromising the depth. The face-framing reveals that candlelit look that compliments all types of skin.
To refresh the honey tones and avoid being bronzy, I would use the Redken Color Extend Blondage Purple Shampoo at once a week – it is a miracle in the anti-yellowing department. To be soft, the Gold Lust Nourishing Oil by Oribe keeps the strands soft but never greasy.
I have put on some variation of this personally in colder seasons, and the compliments do not cease. Celebrity colorist Tracey Cunningham has stated on numerous occasions how these golden ribbons rejuvenate the hair with vitality and I could not concur with her more. It is similar to the immediate glow-up without having to use heavy makeup.
And the best part? The shade shifts easily through the winter and into spring– consider it your transitional color wardrobe.
Cool-Toned Ash Bronde
The shade is a midpoint between blonde and brunette and what makes it unique in winter is the cool undertone. The smoky ash tints are used to dull the overall effect, which perfectly matches with the hair colors to winter cool. It is complimentary to people with a neutral or cool complexion and the redness occasionally bursts out during colder seasons.
Ash colors do require love: I would suggest adding Kerastase Blond Absolu Cicaflash Conditioner. It sustains and maintains that cool bit. Occasional skipping of heat styling is also a way of keeping vibrant.
I personally consider this shade to possess a silvery confidence. It does not shout at you, and it will never appear flat. Once someone, Gregory Patterson, once remarked that cool color allows the cut to speak louder and this is what this color offers.
