The New Colour Code

Fancy going icy blonde for winter?
The New Colour Code
Fashion plays a huge part when it comes to creating hair colour trends and techniques; Westrow’s Technical Director Jenny Pelter talks us through the new looks.
Coloured hair is already emerging as one of the key trends for autumn winter 2013. Having already popped up at Pringle and Meadham Kirchoff, Prada in Milan and Jean Paul Gaultier in Paris for, hair is set to go colour crazy if the runways are anything to go by. The trend for darker hair is set to be much more about bold, clashing colours, merging into one another. Prada showcased a great collection with models walking the runways with dip-dyed locks of clashing colours of copper, red and black tones. A very different look when compared with the spring summer candy coloured dip dyes – things are a lot more grungy for autumn.
Dip-dye is shaping up to quite literally be one of this decade’s highlights and it looks like it’s here to stay, evolving every season with a slight twist to keep things fresh. It’s a technique that allows clients to colour their hair without the commitment. Jean Paul Gaultier turned dip-dye on its head this season, with his models showcasing multi-coloured, painted freestyle roots for a Goth vibe and this is going be a big trend to look out for in 2013.
Blondes will look less maintained – roots will be key, in line with a grungier feel, and dark roots will look cool rather than unkempt. 
Reddish coppers are also set to be big next season – think Jessica Rabbit style, long, beautifully-shiny locks with glossy coppery tones.

Multi-tonal shades continue the red legacy for winter...

Teamed with lilac, dove grey is perfectly pretty

Chocolate cherry - yum!

Dark, grungy tones are in this autumn
