A change of seasons is as good an excuse as any to change your look, and a lot of people are using the cooler nights as a great excuse to change their style and opt for a different look.
This can be a subtle balayage, a completely unsubtle vibrant cyberpunk neon colour job or something in between the two. If you have never dyed your hair, it cannot be understated how much of a dramatic difference the right colour can make to your winter look.
Sometimes this can mean natural blondes opting for a soft autumnal brunette look but in a lot of cases it is about turning dark hair blonde and adding a little brightness to ever-shortening days.
There are a lot of options for blonde, although it will typically involve bleaching your hair to get the right shade, and if you get it done professionally, not only will you get a beautiful look at the end but some important advice for how to take care of your new hair.
In some cases, a salon might recommend using a purple shampoo as part of your routine to keep hair from getting too dry, too yellow and too brassy.
It works using colour theory; the purple hue offsets the natural warm undertones that come through, leaving you with your ideal colour or the potential to adjust your blonde shade slightly depending on how long you leave it in.
You do not need to use it every time you wash your hair. In fact, some brands leave a purple residue if they are used too often, although this can easily be washed out.
However, if you use a purple shampoo, use it in place of your standard shampoo. Most people tend to use it either weekly or every other wash, depending on their routine.
