I would use a pigment-depositing conditioner such as Extreme Red by Overtone since red dyes may fade quickly. It maintains the dynamism between salon visits.
To me, this appearance is celebratory but cool. It is ideal when you are in need of a color that will not be overlooked in a dark winter day.
Rosewood Ombre Elegance
This ombré masterpiece incorporates the use of rosewood purple and golden brown ends, and thus a new interpretation of the winter palette concepts. The transition is smooth, glamorous, and entirely trendy.
In the case of ombré, a gloss after every six weeks will keep the combination smooth. I would also recommend heat protectants at all costs-ombre looks lose their magic when ends get burnt.
This one feels like art. I adore the fact that it is soft and sharp at the same time, forming a red palette that still seems so natural.
Velvet Burgundy Waves
This rich velvet-like color blends deep red and smooth glossy waves. It is vintage but daring, and one of the most obvious concepts to go red in 2025-2026. Burgundy is a perfect match to darker wardrobes and, therefore, the final deep winter combination.
The Color Extend Magnetics line by Redken is a savior to an appearance such as this one- it holds the color in place and leaves the hair touchable.
Burgundy is a strength to me. It is fashionable, powerful, and very all-purpose, be it that you are dressing up to go out at night or simply make Monday glamorous.
Copper Layered Shine
Hardly any colors are as warm as copper. It is styled in layered cuts and reflects light so well providing depth and vibrancy. It is one of those concepts that seem just as good in summer sunshine or in winter icy skies.
Copper tones should be cleansed gently, such as Pureology Hydrate Sheer shampoos are ideal in prolonging that glow, without leaving it behind.
I have always believed that copper is an immediate warmer to any complexion. It is the type of ginger-leaning shade that suits across the board hence the reason why stylists will always refer to it as one of the best ideas every year.
Glossy Merlot Layers
Merlot is positioned between red and deep brown, which is why it is one of the richest red options on the palette to use in chic winter style. The top cut makes it bouncy with the glossy finish making it appear expensive in the best way.
UV protection sprays are also needed even during winter when tones such as merlot may be destroyed by the sun.
This color reminds me always of wine by candlelight: sombre, rich, and yet wanton enough. The best thing to do in winter when you need a serious treat.
Purple Face-Framing Streaks
Lastly, we arrive at playful yet chic: deep brunette hair with bright purple highlights on the sides of face. It is bold, trendy and one of the most novel concepts that brunettes can put to the test this season.
Purple hues prefer cool showers, and hence I would avoid hot showers in case you wish this color to remain. Brightness will also be maintained with the help of a violet-colored conditioner.
I adore this appearance due to its daringness. It does not attempt to blend in-it is designed to shine. It takes a flash of unanticipated color sometimes to put a whole style in a new perspective.
Soft Chestnut Waves
Light, warm, chestnut brown turns into soft ripples which are natural but smooth. This color is between ginger and light brunette, which qualifies it as a perfect concept to anyone who likes subtle classiness.
Chestnut is compatible with lightweight oils which add lustre. It does not shout, but shines silently-just right with deep winter chic.
