Brunette
The colour most people turn to when they want to warm up their colour for winter, this season’s browns are set for a tonal turnaround according to the first lady of colour and salon owner, Jo Hansford. “We are thinking/seeing cool brunettes for autumn/winter ‘10 – think femme fatale meets goth. Pale skinned or olive skinned people are best suited to these cool, dark browns – if you are pale and have light hair you will look incredibly washed out – and people with warm skin tones should avoid any red browns and chestnuts as this will make the skin tone look pink.”

Blonde
A flattering shade next to a dark winter wardrobe, blonde is a classic all-rounder according to Donald Black, senior colourist at Neville Hair & Beauty, although this year he’s predicting blondes will be divided into a duo of tones. “There are two key trends for autumn/winter 2010. The first is a warmer ‘log cabin fever’ blonde where depth is created from cinnamon beiges, vanilla champagnes and golden mustard shades and the second is the ice queen look where glacial clear-crystal blondes are made up of cool, bold and frosty tones. Diane Kruger and Scarlett Johansson all rock the latter look, while Blake Lively and Sienna Miller wear the log cabin fever blonde effortlessly. If you want to know which one to choose, pale skin tones should embrace warmer shades to enhance the fresh-faced rosy-cheek look and olive skin tones can hold ashy ice tones well to balance and promote a healthy glow.”

Black
While it might not be the first colour you think of when considering a colour change, black is back and according to Aveda’s artistic director, Ian Michael Black, this season it’s got to be glossy; think Katy Perry, Dita Von Teese and Megan Fox. “There will be a lot of dark hair around this season but rather than a warmer colour, look out for cooler tones so blacks with inky, purple or bluey undertones as this gives the hair a lovely sheen.”

Red
It’s not just Florence and the Machine fanatics who have been dyeing their hair red, the catwalks were awash with vibrant coppers and rich russets, and if hair stylist and make-up artist Carla B has predicted correctly, the trend shows no signs of waning this winter. “This season the catwalk favoured the natural redhead with just a hint of pillar box scarlet to keep it cutting edge while Nicola Roberts transformed herself with a peachy voluminous bob inspiring everyone to update their ginger locks a shade. These colours are not about shying away and blending in with the crowd!”
