Hair Colour: Autumn Trends 2019

As much as we always like to stretch summer as much as possible, now that we are even getting close to the end of September we cannot escape getting into some Autumn vibes. Coming from a country were you pretty much have an 8 month long summer (sometimes stifling) about 2 months of 'winter' and 2 months of Spring ... Autumn is kind of in-existent, you sort of wake up one day and the leaves are on the floor, and the next day its Winter... So when I moved to the UK some 15 years ago, Autumn was a bit of a novelty, and very quickly became a favourite month. Even more so the colours and hues the season brings with it. Autumn 2019 's colour trends are drawing from the colours all around us courtesy of mother nature, Cinnamon Ombre This is a great way to warm up your look and you post-summer sun-drenched tired hair - add a warm cinnamon tone to your tired grown out Balayage or Ombre to promote you to Autumn excellence - and if Beyonce is sporting it - this i

The secret lies in preparation, and no I am not talking about going all downward dog for your hair - but products, products, products. Get ready some texturising spray, a hair elastic and

Taylor, Rihanna, Arianna take notes - though of course they think they know it all.... we'll see in 2040 what they will be up to.... to use a religious nod in true Madonna style: 'Forgive them for they do not know what they are doing'. Now being a Madonna fan comes with it's own hardships! Especially this last decade... with more than one a musical faux-pas, an actual bad step, a cloak - and let's not start about that Eurovision performance! But no pop superstar has reinvented herself more times than Madonna and at 61 she is setting off to another world tour - not take up a lazy residence in Las Vegas (as Peter a fellow fan pointed out!) Madame X the album dropped today, and it is the album we have been waiting for. She has shed the craving for commercial credibility (Which is useless when UK Radio stations do
