À l’arrivée de l’automne, les paysages se parent de nuances orangées, cuivrées et brunes. And our hair seems to follow suit. Like every season, this period makes you want to change your mind and adopt a new color. Après les blonds lumineux de l’été, place aux reflets roux et aux nuances vénitiennes.
But which red color to choose? Entre le cuivre flamboyant, l’auburn profond et le brun subtilement rougeâtre, les possibilités sont nombreuses. Good news: there is a shade of red for every desire and every skin tone. Les coloristes dévoilent les tendances capillaires à adopter cet automne.
Red hair: why adopt this coloring this fall?
After a summer marked by bright and sunny colors, autumn marks the return of warmer shades. At the top of the list? The redhead. Inspired by the flamboyant colors of autumn leaves, this color instantly brings warmth to the hair. And contrary to popular belief, red hair is not reserved for a few skin tones. « N’importe qui peut porter une nuance de roux. The key is to find a color that works with your skin tone,” says professional stylist Sharon Spellman on the American version of “Marie Claire.” “There are deep golden coppers, rich auburns, red browns, cinnamon tones and wine undertones. There are so many versions of roux that there is something for everyone. »
Another advantage: this coloring is ideal to accompany the transition between summer and winter. It warms the complexion when the summer tan begins to fade and adds depth to the hair.
This fall, red comes in a multitude of shades. Loin de se limiter au rouge flamboyant, il se fait plus subtil, profond ou lumineux selon les envies. Colorists focus in particular on copper highlights, brown bases and gourmet tones. Et pour celles qui hésitent encore à adopter une coloration rousse, quelques reflets rougeâtres sur une base châtain peuvent suffire. Blondes, for their part, can turn to a luminous apricot copper.
Nuanced red: the easy shade to adopt
This fall, red is softer and more sophisticated. The key shade? The nuanced red. À mi-chemin entre le roux flamboyant et les reflets bruns, cette coloration apporte de l’intensité sans être trop audacieuse. “Cinnamon, amber and copper are softened with golden and brown undertones. Red is still rich, but it just seems more sophisticated and wearable,” says colorist Shane Talley Cudal.
Reddish chestnut: the red alternative for brunettes
Les brunes ont aussi leur nuance de roux. Reddish brown stands out as a particularly attractive alternative. Browner than auburn, it combines a chestnut base with subtle red highlights. The advantage? This coloring easily adapts to everyone’s desires. It can remain discreet with some reddish reflections or gain luminosity thanks to golden and coppery touches.
Apricot copper: the shade that warms the face
This is undoubtedly one of the most desirable red hair colors of the moment. Worn in particular by Grace Van Patten, star of the series “Tell Me Lies”, apricot copper seduces with its luminous reflections and its softness. Halfway between Venetian blonde and coppery red, this shade brings radiance to the face. Elle est particulièrement intéressante lorsque le teint commence à perdre son hâle estival. “The warmth of hair color reflects light onto the face, softening features and adding an age-defying glow. The result looks shiny and healthy,” says colorist Shvonne Perkins.
Coppery brown: the perfect red shade for brunettes
Want red hair without completely abandoning your brown base? Copper brown is the good alternative. This coloring plays on a mixture of brown and coppery shades to bring depth and warmth to the hair. “I love starting with an auburn, copper brown or red brown because you still have that familiarity of the brown underneath,” says one colorist. A great first step for those who want to try out the red hair trend before daring to go for a more intense shade.
If apricot copper causes a sensation, strawberry copper has not said its last word. His secret? A mix of golden and peach highlights on a copper base. The result is softer and luminous than a traditional roux. “It mixes golden and peach undertones in a copper base, making it lighter and less intense than a traditional red. This shade is particularly flattering on fair to medium-light skin tones, with warm or rosy undertones. » Strawberry copper is also a nice option for blondes who want to try soft red hair. An ideal transition to bring warmth to your hair without immediately opting for deep coloring.
How to maintain red hair to prevent the color from bleeding?
Les pigments roux ont tendance à s’estomper plus rapidement que certaines autres colorations. To preserve their intensity, it is advisable to space out shampoos and favor treatments specially formulated for colored hair.
How long does red hair color last?
How long red hair color lasts depends on the technique used, the porosity of the hair and its maintenance routine. Permanent coloring can retain its base for several weeks, but the copper and red reflections gradually lose their intensity. Semi-permanent color or gloss generally fades more quickly. To maintain a luminous red, a touch-up of highlights or a gloss at the hairdresser every four to six weeks can be considered, depending on the color and its evolution.
How to go red without damaging your hair?
Pour adopter des cheveux roux sans fragiliser sa chevelure, mieux vaut procéder progressivement. It is possible to start with a copper gloss, red highlights or balayage to add warmth without completely transforming your natural color. Cette approche permet aussi de tester différentes nuances avant de choisir une coloration plus intense.
Is red a difficult hair color to maintain?
Oui, le roux demande un peu plus d’attention que certaines autres colorations. Ses pigments ont tendance à s’oxyder et à perdre leur intensité au fil des lavages. To maintain luminous color, it is advisable to use treatments for colored hair, limit too frequent washing and regularly apply a nourishing mask.
With red hair, it is advisable to avoid eyebrows that are too dark or too contrasting. The ideal is to choose a shade slightly darker than your hair color, in light brown, caramel or auburn tones depending on the intensity of the red. For a natural result, an eyebrow pencil or gel with warm undertones allows you to redraw the line without hardening the lines.
