Choose A Color That’s As Bold As You Dare

If the multicolored hair we saw on the spring runways is any indication (pink- and blue-streaked updos at Oscar de la Renta, cotton candy-colored bangs at Anna Sui), out-there colors aren't fading away anytime soon. Want to make this the year you go bold? Try a rainbow approach, says Wella Color Ambassador Aura Friedman, who created the watercolor-inspired look at Peter Som's spring show. "I think what's happening with pastels is instead of having one color, it's turning into color fusion, a marriage of color with one color going into another," Friedman says.
Rather go subtle than rainbow bright? Add dimension to your hair color by having highlights hand painted in the new, more natural ombré style. Friedman explains, "The reason I think ombré will stick around is that it just emulates natural hair," where the ends are lightened by the sun. Go for an effect that's more sunkissed than two-toned, she advises. Wella's new Illumina salon color is a brilliant choice for natural-looking ombré, since it was developed specifically to mimic the multi-dimensional shine of virgin hair.
