Prior to having it colored, Brie's hair was her natural deep brown shade. "I had never dyed my hair before, so I was a little wary at first," she admits.
With just a few scattered highlights, Brie's hair looks thicker
and richer than before — and she loves the results! "The subtle color
tweak gave my locks so much more movement," she says. "Now, instead of
my hair hanging limply, the highlights frame my face better."

Cameron already had a bold colorful style, but it had faded and grown out a bit, so she was ready for a new look. She was concerned about damaging her natural curls and was sure to tell the salon beforehand — a smart move to ensure the colorist went extra gently and able to consult with her ahead of time.
Model: Laurie Jennings, Deputy Editor at Good Housekeeping
Like Brie, Laurie had never dyed her hair before! She naturally has a rich chocolate color, but it fell a little flat in its singular tone.

Cameron already had a bold colorful style, but it had faded and grown out a bit, so she was ready for a new look. She was concerned about damaging her natural curls and was sure to tell the salon beforehand — a smart move to ensure the colorist went extra gently and able to consult with her ahead of time.
A fresh, deep purple is
a totally unique way to go dark for the cooler temps. "I pre-bleached
Cameron's hair to a pale blonde color, then used two shades of Color
Design — magenta and deep purple — to achieve our desired hue,"
explains master stylist Paul Labrecque. He let her
hair process under heat, then cool off a bit before shampooing her
strands again and styling with products specifically made for curls.

Her new violet shade compliments Cameron's style and illuminates her eyes. "I feel good about this shade," she says. And she's learned a trick to keeping it looking fresh: "When I wash my hair, I add a bit of semipermanent hair dye to my deep conditioner and let it sit for a while to keep the color vibrant."

[post_ads]This season, folks are
either making dramatic shifts with their hair or just the tiniest,
subtlest switches — Laurie opted for the latter. "For her fine, virgin
hair, I used foils for her color with L'Oreal's High Lift on the roots,"
explains Labrecque. He then used the balayage technique to paint color in an ombre pattern towards her ends, giving it a thicker, richer look.
Laurie was a bit apprehensive at first, but in the end, she fell in love with how dynamic and multidimensional it turned out. It brightened up her face and illuminated her complexion, too.

Carina's long silvery layers have been right on trend for the last few years, but she wanted to try something new for Autumn 2016. Cooler temperatures call for cooler tones, right?

"With the seasons
changing, we start to dress differently and match accordingly with the
time of year," explains stylist Kelly Lin. "Blondes tend to go slightly darker, redheads go slightly richer and brunettes go a bitdeeper." Basically, the goal is to add more dimension in the same color family. For Carina, this means going with a smoky, deep violet. She started with the lilac equivalent of platinum blonde, and ended with the purple version of being a brunette.
Before & After: Carina's Deeper Purple
"I love the color — I've never done such a bold dye job and I was very surprised by how wearable it is," she raves. Plus, it's encouraged her to experiment with darker colors in the future.

After having platinum blonde, lilac or pink hair for the past two years, I was getting a little sick of light colors. I let my roots grow pretty long (as you can see) and allowed my previous pastel magenta hue fade to a warm rose gold. Still, part of me missed the vivid blue hair I had in my teens and early twenties, so I asked a pro to help me make the switch.
To capture the mermaid hair color trend completely, the stylist applied multiple blue tones, ranging from turquoise to navy. "Blue hair is a color trend that continues to evolve with fashion and seasonal changes," says Ilias Zarbalis, master stylist and owner of Ilias Zarbalis New York City. The best part? Zarbalis says that "blue is a color that can work on almost any skin tone."
I'll admit it: I'm obsessed with this hair color. I feel like myself again! In the sun, the variety of blue tones glitter and make my eye color stand out. Plus, having a slightly grown-out root means my style doesn't just look lazy if I don't go to the salon every six weeks on the dot.

To give Stephanie's
hair a bit of brilliance, Labrecque used the balayage method to paint in
two different shades. "One color is a lowlight to tone down the
previous color, while the other is a medium golden blonde to
weave in the honey hues she wanted," he explains. This is one trend
that's guaranteed to come back year and after, so if you're curious,
definitely give it a go.
While her previous
color was cute, it's clear that Stephanie's new look gives her skin a
natural radiance. "I loved that it was such a subtle change — it was a
really quick and easy update — yet made such a big difference in warming
up my whole look," she says. "I feel like it gave my skin tone a boost
just when my summer tan was starting to fade!"
