This color projects confidence. It is a strong combination of feminine and the coolness that gives even plain dresses an immediate boost. In my case, this style is also what I would call winter glam, something that is edgy and elegant to wear at a party.
Celebrity stylist Chris Appleton regularly points out that shorter cuts accentuate facial symmetry- and this image shows that he is correct. There is such art in the balance of gold and depth about the face.
Soft Vanilla Glow
This buttery blond shade with finer beige undertones is as though it were to be used during crisp winter mornings. The tone is somewhere between cool and creamy, providing that candle-lit look that is altogether classic and contemporary. Its lightness reveals the softness of the faces and provides some light movement of the waves.
I prefer to apply Olaplex No.4P Blonde Enhancer Toning Shampoo at least once every week -it helps keep the blonde clean and fresh without drying the hair. The violet shades of the formula would work best keeping that pastel look into the colder season.
The first time I attempted this appearance was amazing, it instantly made my skin look brighter, even without make-up. It is like one of those ideas a blonde would have, which seems to do so easily, most of all when worn in loose undress waves.
It is the shade that suits any person who wants to find equilibrium between the natural and the polished- it is not loud and shines like a warm latte on a chilled down.
Frosty Layered Platinum
To the adventurous and the intricate, this platinum overlay cut is the ultimate coolness of the season. The multidimensional effect is achieved through the finely woven low lights chunky positioning that strategically places the chunky lights under the lighter top layers to give structure and balance. It produces a sheet of platinum that is silky and which is not flat.
Here, maintenance is the key, Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate is my panacea to keep platinum hair soft and manageable, even in the bitter winter winds. It hardens strands and avoids that dry brittle feeling which may destroy a good blowout.
The loveliness of this color is that it reflects the light–you have your own halo when you walk around with it. And in fair, this shade will showcase fine undertones to your natural glow and make you look beautiful.
Whenever I come across a person with this appearance, I wonder in my mind power in polish. It’s bold, but with elegance.
Mulled Wine Balayage
This is an incredibly decadent, chocolate brown base with a hint of berry and caramel ribbons that taste like your beloved winter drink, cozy, sweet, with a slight bit of heat. It is among the top winter color combinations of hair highlights of brunettes who desire a slight twist to the traditional depth. The interlacing of the red and amber colors on the dark foundation also brings fire and does not overpower the general gentleness.
This rich color must be given good treatment. I use pureology color fanatic leave in sprays to maintain the shine and slow fading. It comes especially in handy when you are working with hot tools that can easily steal the moisture in winter.
This color brings me to mind of the warm afternoons in cafes and wool scarves- it is sexy without being loud. It best fits the concepts of brunettes who embrace a bit of drama.
When hairstylist Tracey Cunningham mentioned in a conversation about the trend of 2025, dimensional warmth, this is precisely what she was referring to a layered, glowing concoction that appears costly and feels incredibly personal.
Scarlet Ember Waves
Winter, had it a heartbeat, would likely look like this–sunken dark roots smouldering into glowing scarlet and copper strands. These silky curls are a manifestation of passion and warmth, and they are filled with shades of fire and volume. This is one of the winter hair colors accents that a woman who is not afraid of drama will like. The way the cherry red and molten orange pass through one another creates an illusion of flickering light in each movement.
This vibrancy cannot be achieved without effort on your part- you must always wash with cold water and then apply Matrix Total Results Keep Me Vivid Shampoo, which helps hold the color in place. I have come to understand that neglecting heat protection might cause the fire to go dim within a minute, and therefore a spray such as Color Wow Dream Coat does not allow any of the curls to lose their shine.
I am sure I felt like nothing could stop me when I was wearing a similar color a few years ago. It is not understated–but when cut in loose, flowing curves is exquisitely refined.
Color consultant Guy Tang terms this energy hair, as it changes your mood immediately. It is one of the most audacious concepts of brunettes that want hot in the most chilled season.
Vanilla Smoke Balayage
This balayage is elegant and modern flowing on roots of smoky brunette and creating a cool contrast that suits nearly any skin color. High-shine finish and smooth gradient makes it an instant hit among those who prefer minimalist finish. It is that blonde that is soft, creamy and yet grounded and rich.
Balayage shades such as this grow best on hydration, and thus I only apply Olaplex No.3 Hair Perfector once a week, which fortifies lightened locks and prevents the blond from becoming split. Use a round brush to blow-dry, get the edges soft and use a glossing spray to give it that mirror-like finish.
I believe that this colour is especially beautiful on fair skin as it adds structure and warmth to the face. The light touch of beige and smoke is such an appearance of expense.
It is one of those concepts of blondes which move smooth like ideas of the fall which are sophisticated, simple to manage and unendingly graceful.
Raspberry Ribbon Lights
This is pure winter magic as dark chocolate is mixed with a bite of berry sweetness. The positioning of the pink-red strands towards the face provides a light, radiant lift whereas the rest of the brunette base maintains it gloomy and down to earth. It is one of those winter hair color highlights that is flirtatious but daring, and seems like a great choice to add a little life to a person that does not want to be overly invested.
To keep the berry color, I prefer to use Keracolor Clenditioner in Pink, it adds a gentle refresh without changing any color each time you wash. To add depth to each streak, apply a shine serum before the styling so that it appears that your hair was kissed by winter sunlight.
