Celebs Can’t Stop Asking for “Winter Gold” Hair

With Joico Global Brand Ambassador, Larisa Love

Want to know what’s quickly becoming Hollywood’s hottest trend? The gloriously gilded Winter Gold hair color – a brunette base that features dominant gold tones in lieu of the usual red/chocolate/ash tones of years past. Joico Global Brand Ambassador, Larisa Love, loves this look and is creating versions on her own Hollywood clients. “Rich brunette with soft dimension is the IT color or the season. So many people are going darker and back to their “natural color” (or much closer to it) for a lower-maintenance feel,” she explains.

The “Winter Gold” trend: what to know…

“Natural” doesn’t always mean subtle: Winter Gold may not be as bold as some hair colors, but it’s still considered a change. “Celebrities are taking risks more than ever,” says Larisa. “But a risk can even mean going back to a more natural tone – for some people, that’s huge.”

Brunette tones vary a lot: “This brunette is different because it’s much richer and more golden, whereas normally you’d see cool or neutral tones on dark hair.”

Don’t forget the key words: “Ask your colorist to make you very warm and golden, with very soft babylight dimension.”
