While most of us keep to a relatively specific zone when it comes to hair colour, that doesn’t mean we aren’t open to hitting the refresh button from time to time, especially when the seasons shift.

For a bit of spring trend colour advice, we enlisted our most trusted Aveda Artist hair colour experts to share their favourite trends you should be trying right now for a beautiful Autumn2017. This includes more on the stunning colour seen above, by Glen Coco Oropeza

A Playful Palette

Our love affair with all shades of pink continues. Aveda Artist and Educator Jo McKay loves to use this colour as a tool to add sophisticated dimension. “Pink and other delicate pastels have become so beautiful to implement into other colours. I love to find the perfect hue to use on blondes— either a pastel pink or a strong neon— as a modern way to play with the trend. Rather than adding brown for dimension on blondes, I opt for pink as the contrasting element.”

Apricot shades are also gaining popularity. Predicts David Adams, Owner of FOURTEENJAY in New York City, “We are going to see last year’s rose gold turn into more of an orange-based colour we are calling ‘blorange.’ It's a colour a lot of people are afraid of, but works on a surprising number of skin types.”

Ian Michael Black, Aveda Global Artistic Director for Hair Colour, suggests going full on lavender this season, but with a twist. “Violet is a shade that can be very flattering for a lot of people, and to make it work I create soft pinkish undertones to keep the colour both soft and feminine,” Ian says.

Feel the Warmth

“We’ve seen a huge wave of people embracing warmth in their hair colour,” notes Glen Coco Oropeza, Los Angeles-based Aveda Artist. He suggests brunettes amp up their richness with copper and marmalade shades as seen above with this smart bob complemented by terra-cotta tones.

For blondes Glen likes to add strawberry, beige and champagne hues for a fresh and sunny vibe. “To ensure your blonde gets the perfect warmth, find a colourist that uses Aveda’s 96% naturally-derived Enlightener™ Blonde Finish Protective Toners,” Glen says.

As a longtime fan of flaxen hues, Ian created what he says is the epitome of the cool girl of spring 2017, an effortlessly classic blonde.

Giving Shade

For those looking for a subtle tweak to their colour, shading at the root adds depth and texture to a haircut and works well with all hair types. Suggests David, “The shadow root may be anything from slightly darker to a solid contrast.”

The look of shadow root complements the polished yet undone vibe so many of us still favor.

Bold Brunettes

And for the raven-haired beauties who adore their dark tresses, Ian suggests adding moments of cerise to warm up browns with a ruby coloured glow.
