Another celebrity colorist Tracey Cunningham once noted that only platinum can appear costly and she is correct because this color is best maintained with frequent toning and a deep weekly mask. To make sure that the strands remain strong and shiny during winter styling, I would recommend using Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate.
The most compelling thing about this tone is that it is not loud but yet bold. It tells believingness – but whispers it.
Soft Brunette with Delicate Face-Framing Lights
This appearance is an amalgamation of espresso origin and delicate, cool features producing the ideal delicate deep winter hair shade to those brunettes requiring a hint of lightness. The face-framing strands do not raise the complexion too high and bring the light without oppressing the natural color. It is up-to-date, dimensional and borders on effortlessness.
I have been telling my readers: to multi-tonal brunettes such as this, it is all about being hydrated. Add a nice leave in conditioning such as Moroccanoil Light to hold on to soft and silky. The feeling of the cool light with the rich depth at this place is the combination of sophistication and easefulness.
Something about contrast is always easily elegant when it is done in this kind of a gentle way candle light glinting through dark silk.
Natural Chestnut Waves for Everyday Glow
It is this type of soft winter hair color that can never be out of fashion. The natural chestnut brown is soothing but at the same time modern, it has a pleasant golden undertones that are flattering to a broad spectrum of skin tones. Combined with a carefree wave, it seems healthy, touchable, and completely low-maintenance – a perfect preference of the simple-yet-understated beauty.
And hairstylist Jen Atkin is constantly reminding us that a healthy hair is the trend at heart, and this look confirms it. The chestnut shine can be maintained all through the winter with a light shampoo-free shower every second day, and a nurturing mask at least once a week.
This color is a tone that is hugging you – gentle, low profile, and subtly glowing.
Copper Rose Flame for a Bold Soft Winter Twist
Winter, had he a pulse, could be like this copper-rose flame – bright but gentle, deep but flowing. It is a winter soft hair color, that passes back and forth between hot copper and dull rosewood, it is perfect to those who desire warmth and intensity and it does not leave the soft winter palette of hair color spectrum.
In order to continue the liveliness, I would apply Pureology Reviving Red Shampoo – it applies the color and incorporates that added shine that is only detected in freshly colored hair.
This shade to me seems to be a touch of courage with a hint of poetry – it is strong, feminine, and has such a beautiful surprise to be such soft winter hair color.
Golden Chestnut Layers with Cozy Warmth
This shade is as though the color of winter sunshine in the window of a cafe, golden chestnut with light touches which play in the lightness. It is one of those winter hair colors, light brown in color, which immediately makes your skin tone warmer, even when the world outside is frozen. Sweeping layers on sides and the soft waves give the feeling of movement making it polished yet relaxed.
To retain the same silky shine, I would apply Kerastase Discipline Fluidissime Anti-Frizz Spray – it is not heavy, it just gives the same shiny silky look that makes this shade look glowing throughout the day.
I like the whiskey-sound of this tone. It is that kind of hair color that makes one look immediately soft, approachable and put together at least once it is that sweater weather.
Soft Vanilla Blonde with Creamy Undertones
Something easily classy was about this cool vanilla blonde, it is creamy and smooth, and it is very flattering to the lighter skin tones. This shade also fits into the warm winter color range perfectly, in that it is bright and at the same time remains warm at the same time. It is a perfect match to non-colorful outfits, such as grey knits or white silk shirts, and it has that dreamy minimalistic texture that we desire during midwinter.
I would suggest Davines Heart of Glass Rich Conditioner – it is the best way of keeping cool blondes cool and shiny. And do tell, that twitter in the dark? Pure winter magic.
This appearance seems to me like morning frost – delicate, cold and so polished as to be almost glowing.
Rooted Honey Melt with Soft Edges
The balanced point between blonde and brunette with this soft winter hair color concept a rooted honey melt fades softly to golden ends. The gradient is not artificial but rather natural and elegant, it gives warmth to the complexion and it is less dramatic but rather natural which makes it attractive to a range of skin tones.
Colorist to the stars Mathew Rez frequently commends blended color transitions because it grows out smoothly and suits all seasons. I couldn’t agree more. To keep that smooth gradient silky and vibrant I would keep it with Matrix Keep Me Vivid Lamination Spray.
It is casual, yet fancy – an appearance that can as well be paired with a black turtleneck as it can be paired with a weekend hoodie.
Ice Pearl Blonde with Cool Reflection
This icy blonde is pale and is a direct offshoot of a winter fairytale. It is the final shade of hair in soft winter complexion, and imparts on the face the coolness of pearl. The shadow of the roots is subtle, and this, combined with the reflective characteristic of the light, causes the strands to shimmer even in the soft natural light of the indoors.
It is all a matter of maintaining this tone. I am a big fan of Fanola No Yellow Mask – it cancels the brass and leaves the hair silky. Imagine this being the platinum reworking that remains comfortable, delicate and elegant.
Whenever this colour appears in my life, it is a sign of frozen morns – quiet, untouched, and shining.
