This week it’s all about the extremes. Many of our Tribe’s clients leaned towards dramatic red hues or striking platinums. And that is a refreshing change, considering Fall and Winter are often associated with darker, warmer colors.
Check out this week’s trending hair colors below.
Cinnabar Hair Color Formula
Hair by Tara Jean May of TMACS
To make hair color as vibrant as this one, you need a good canvas. Tara shampooed her client with Oway Htech Pre-Color Clarifying Shampoo before applying the formula below to remove impurities and product residue that may have been sitting on the hair.
Base: Oway Hcolor 4.6 Red Brown + Oway Hcatalyst 20 Volume Cream Developer
Midshaft to Ends: Oway Hcolor 8.66 Deep Red Light Blonde with Oway Hcatalyst 40 Volume Cream Developer + 30 drops Oway Hmelt Playful Rose

Combine the energy of red with the warmth of brown and you get Titian Red. This hue is perfect for clients who want to have natural-looking red hair color with a little bit more warmth than copper.

Porcelain Hair Color Formula
Hair by Caitlin Helle of Smoke + Mirrors Salon
Roots are always more resistant to toner compared to the ends (which are porous from being lightened previously), according to Caitlin. So to create this Icy Platinum, she had to apply the toner on the roots first and left it to process for 10 minutes, and did the rest for 5 minutes.
Lightening: Oway Hbleach Butter Cream Lightener
Toner: Oway Hcolor 10.1 Ash Extra Light Blonde + Oway Hcolor 90.11 Intense Ash Super Bleaching Blonde + Oway Htone 9 Volume Cream Developer

Vanilla Lavender Hair Color Formula
Hair by Sarah Rose Ghelfi
To achieve this beautiful Lavender, Sarah prelightened her client to a Pale Yellow. There was some yellow banding from previous lightening so she addressed that with the formula below. Then, she proceeded to melt the roots into the ends and combed some of it formula down to create a seamless transition.
