REDKEN 5 T H A V E N U E N Y C 2097 Old Lakeshore Rd · Burlington 905-637-1041 (NC)-- Blondes may have more fun. but brunettes are a lot more popular for Fall 2003. And it's not only on the fashion runways of New York and Milan where the deep black and charcoal hair shades have reappeared, the rich colour is turn ing up on several celebrity manes as well. Mandy Moore and Christina Aguilera have both traded in their golden locks for rich shades o f brown. "Darker hair colour is an easy and fun change for most women," explains Shantal Dupont, fashion director for Schwarzkopf Professional in Canada. "It offer; a new aura of mystery and sophistication." Plums, wines and chestnuts are the hottest colours this sea son, often using various shades in one hairstyle. "This sea son's look is emphasized with a combination of cold colours, plum placed around the face and through the top of the hair with contrasting wine around the back, then from the crown to the nape, creating a graphic effect," explains Tyler Johnston, global editorial ambassador at Schwarzkopf Professional in Germany. For Fall/Winter 2003 Schwarzkopf Professional focused on celebrating the mystery and .sophis tication o f black in their Igora Spirit Collection, Black is back. While most people ask for highlights, lowlights. in richer and glossier shades, are popular among hairstylists to create depth for hair. An old-fashioned technique brought back this season is the Shoe Shine, which sees only the tips of the hair coloured. "Chocolate brown updates this season's short and sassy look. Shoe shining the ends with a rich syrupy black gives a sharp lacquered finish." describes Johnston. And while blonde has not completely disappeared this season, the shade has become more natural and creamier and less platinum. Blonde can be effective as a contrast to a brunette colour when used around the face. "This brings a youthful glow to a traditional look." says Johnston. The new brunette is filled with glamour and shine. And while the hottest shades are infused with high gloss, they still maintain minimalist characteristics: Simple, yet elegant.
