Fall 2008 Haircolor Forecast

Fall in love with haircolor this season! Designers showcased the hottest fall fashion trends on the runway. Help your clients be in–the–know on the season’s latest haircolor trends for fall with these tips.

This fall, haircolor will be earthier, deeper, richer tones full of shine. The overall trend compliments the season as the weather cools down...haircolor warms up.

When consumers visit their colorists, they typically bring in pictures of a celebrity’s haircolor to illustrate what shade they want to achieve. My client roster of Hollywood’s A List is wearing the "have-to-have" haircolor this fall season.

Blondes this fall will feature low lights, soft shades, and natural looking blonde tones – similar to Molly Sims. Brunettes will be after true brown earthy shades full of life and shine –think Kate Beckinsale. And redheads will depart from strawberry red tones and toward deep red shades similar to Lindsay Lohan.
