It’s Autumn – stating the obvious, but then again IT’S AUTUMN people! Time to be inspired by all things edible in Autumnal colours, with pumpkin and spices topping the menu. Psst if you need inspo, watch The Great British Bake Off… most ingredients are colour inspo, we say.
So, while pumpkin spice isn’t just for your latte, we suggest being iInspired by the rich hues of the season. Pumpkin spice hair colour is a fab way to add warmth and depth while embracing those cozy, autumn vibes.
Kayleigh Johnson, from Hex Hairdressing, says, “I’m seeing loads of my lighter clients wanting to spice it up with a touch of pumpkin. The trick when adding extra warmth and depth is ensuring your canvas is tip-top—super easy when you have the right tools in your hair kit.”
For Kayleigh, the go-to on hair condition is INNOluxe FBR to fight cysteic acid and even out porosity to make sure the hair starts off banging and the colour has more pop.
“Pumpkin spice isn’t just for the lighter babes though – I’ve been transforming loads of last year’s ‘expensive brunettes’ into Pumpkin Spice Gals by using a simple innoluxe stand alone treatment and glaze,” says Kayleigh. “This takes no more time than a stand alone treatment, but by adding a custom mixed direct dye into some Balance Plus you can dip your toe into the Pumpkin Spice latte trend with some temporary spice before taking the full plunge. It also gives the most stunning shine and condition.”
Another recommend from Kayleigh is the #Saved Shampoo and Conditioner, also by INNOluxe
Pumpkin Spice isn’t just for straight-haired clients—it’s a brilliant choice for curly and textured hair as well. Hear from salon owner Chris Grimley at Fusion Hair. She explains it thus: “Pumpkin Spice shade works really well for curls because as the hair moves, it creates different strengths in the tone. You can also use zone tones on curly and textured hair without creating lines of separation, which would be more obvious on straighter hair.”
Another advocate of the INNOluxe brand, Chris advises that to maintain that gorgeous shine and strength, the INNOluxe Elixir is a must-have take-home product.
So next time you scan the cupboards for a delightful treat – keep your clients in mind and find your inspo in there, too!
