Stay hot as the weather gets cold with celebrity hair stylist and Scruples Creative Education Director William Whatley’s forecast for fall and winter. A change in the seasons can also come with a change in your hair, whether it be a new cut or a new color.
During this fall and winter, blondes should look to honey for color and tone inspiration.
“Blondes are pure honey with color accenting the face frame,” Whatley said. “Although we’re bringing the vibrant summer blondes down to a real beautiful honey, caramelized overtones still bring that brightness to the face frame with a lighter accent.”
Brunettes can stand out on a cloudy winter day by adding a twist of chocolate and berry tones.
For those wanting to add more color, you can ditch the winter blues and turn to reds. “You will see the reds dominating fall and winter hues turning more into your maroons and your violet reds for a real sultry moody vibrancy,” Whatley said.
If you’re not looking to change the color of your hair, there are several ways to refresh your cut. Bobs of several lengths are back, and this time with a bang, a fabulous fringe bang.
“To create that perfect framed face that also accentuates the eyes, add volume and texture or sleekness from the runways for fall and winter 2024 a lot of sleekness,” he said. “I am seeing a lot of close-to-the-head looks which translate to a bob.”
For those who prefer long hair, it’s the season of lots of full layers.
“The best cut for this is the shag. Like the bob, the shag has so many dimensions and trendy names but it’s just a variation of a perfectly executed shag,” Whatley describes. “You can create volume without removing length. You can add a bang that flows into the sides seamlessly.”
Pixie cut is also back for those looking for a short hairdo. “This cut creates and accents beautiful cheekbones, almond eyes and a slender jawline,” Whatley adds.
