7 Heart-Warming Shades for the Colder Months

We are all happy to say that 2020 is finally coming to an end. Winter is already here and aren’t we all craving a change? This year has been focused on DIY with all the social distancing and lockdowns, so when you can’t take a trip to the salon, get inspired before your salon doors open to know exactly what color you wish to be.

We have put together our collection of inspiration for hairstyle trends and hair colors to prepare you for the coming holidays. Read on for 7 Heart-Warming Shades for the Colder Months. Before the year ends, try something new that refreshes your style!

1. Hearty Espresso

Let’s start with the classics! Nothing is as elegant as deep brown. For this season, we traditionally like to go dark in hair color and we’re lusting over this rich pigment. Deep, refined tones shine through the hair, regardless of whether the sun is shining outside.

Just check out the beautiful Espresso locks on Megan Fox! She’s a proud user of Iles Formula, and a client of color legend Christopher Pierce (@christopherpiercehair) of Andy Le Compte Salon – one of our very own ambassador salons. The hair is layered with balayage producing tone on tone warmth dimension and movement throughout.

2. Bright Amber

Make a statement that everyone will notice, with strawberry blonde hair. For winter 2020, you’ll be the life of the party with this warm golden color. This vibrant hue of amber is sure to bring positive glances wherever you go!

If you choose this color, you’ll be in great company – Ashley Olsen loves Iles Formula.  As described in the Zoe Report, “Ashley [Olsen], who washes her hair daily because ‘she likes the feeling of clean hair,’ introduced  Mark Townsend  her go to celebrity hairstylist to one of his now-favorite products, which he also passes on to other A-list clients.  “Ashley, says Townsend is the one who turned me on to Iles Formula, which is her go-to conditioner,’ he explains. ‘It’s incredible. Last summer, I did a movie with Dakota Johnson and you literally I got Dakota on that conditioner too.'”

3. Melting Chocolate Brown

To match the mood of this season, why not lean towards warm tones? These smooth and lush colors frame your face and bring out your glow, complete with blonde lowlights and highlights. So creamy, lush, and distinctive, just like dark chocolate and honey. Going for this rich and lustrous look is the perfect way to start the year fresh! Plus, it’s sweeter than chocolate.

6. Snow White

Meet the winter shade that is just as luminous as snow! If you are looking for something very bold with a cool undertone shade, platinum blonde hair is the way to go! This hairstyle is something special and stands out from all the rest – that’s what makes it one of our favorites this winter.

7. Hot Cinnamon

Can we talk about how amazing this warm undertone looks? This winter hair color idea really inspired us with bright and wild locks that will grab everyone’s attention. This winter, we’re turning up the heat! But not for your hair. Keep your hair hydrated with our Iles Formula Hair Mask, which nourishes and strengthens hair back to full health. Especially during the winter season, hydrating your hair to make sure it retains moisture and natural oils  before your color process is crucial for preventing color degradation and further dryness through color process.  The Iles Formula Shampoo is known as a colorist best friend as it will protect your color from fading not to mention the shine it delivers, especially to those blondes that have been matt most of thier lives. The Iles Conditioner is indisensible to shut down tight all hair cuticles that have been lifted during the color process. This product is the key to delivering comlete repair of the hair without leaving residue of any kind.
