Winter hair dyes: the colors you'll see everywhere this season
When the cold weather arrives, our hair also changes its wardrobe. The flat, cool tones of summer give way to more enveloping colors, with depth and warm undertones that flatter the skin under the softer winter light.
If you're thinking about refreshing your hair color before the holidays, at Cosméticos de la Rosa we've compiled the trends we'll be seeing most this season and the essential care to ensure your dye lasts through the cold and heated weather.
1. Copper chocolate, the star color of winter
It's a blend of chestnut brown with copper and caramel highlights, and it has become one of the most requested shades in hair salons because it brightens the face without losing the "natural" color look. It works especially well on brown or dark brown bases and doesn't require as much maintenance as blonde.
2. Warm blondes versus cool summer blondes
Ash blonde is giving way to honey, golden, and champagne blondes, which are much more flattering now that skin has lost its summer tan. If you're coming from a cool blonde, it's a good time to ask your salon for a color gloss to warm the tone towards gold without needing to bleach your hair again.
3. Brunettes with highlights, not flat brunettes
Jet black hair is losing popularity compared to brunette shades with fine highlights or babylights in mahogany or hazelnut tones, which add movement and brightness without requiring aggressive bleaching. It's a perfect option for those who want to refresh their color without changing their base.
4. Intense coppers for those who want to dare
Red hair is making a strong comeback in deeper shades: wine, terracotta, or dark mahogany. These are perfect for those looking for a noticeable change for Christmas without going completely bleached, although it's worth noting that these shades fade the fastest.
5. How to choose your shade without regrets
Before you decide, keep three things in mind: your skin undertone (warm tones flatter skin with warm undertones, and vice versa), the condition of your hair (a drastic change on damaged hair first needs a repairing treatment) and the maintenance you are willing to take on, because coppers and reds are the ones that need a touch-up sooner.
The step that many people skip
No matter which shade you choose, the cold weather dries out your hair, causing the color to fade less effectively and take faster. Applying a nourishing hair mask the week before dyeing, and using a conditioning base color instead of a purely pigmented one, makes all the difference between a color that lasts six weeks and one that lasts ten. You can see the rest of the routine in our guide to winter hair care.
Conclusion: Frequently Asked Questions about Winter Hair Dye
We've compiled some of the questions you send us most often at this time of year:
- Which hair dye lasts longer in winter?
- Brown and chocolate tones usually last longer without touch-ups than blondes or coppers, which need more frequent maintenance with specific shampoos.
- Can I dye my hair at home if I've never done it before?
- Yes, as long as you choose a shade similar to your own or only a couple of levels lighter or darker, and carefully follow the exposure time indicated by the manufacturer.
- How do I prevent the copper color from fading so quickly?
- Use shampoo and conditioner specifically for colored hair, avoid washing it with very hot water, and space out washes as much as possible.
