From pastel "unicorn" locks to bronde goddess waves, hair color trends are constantly changing.As we enter peak winter season and find ourselves snuggling up in front of the fireplace sipping warm drinks, a new trend has started popping up in salons and on social media: mulled wine hair.
Gonzalez has had clients ask for wine-inspired red hair ever since the temperatures dropped, and she's become a pro at creating the statement-making shade. Part of its appeal, she tells us, is that unlike an icy gray or brighter color, mulled wine is vibrant but still wearable for women of all ages and with all hair types. Plus, it doesn't require lots of trips to the salon to achieve.
"For an average client, I would say it's fairly easy [to get the look]," says Gonzalez. "The hair most likely needs to be pre-lightened in order to receive these tones, especially if they really want the shade to pop, so it’s usually a two-step process where I lighten the hair and then apply the color."
Gonzalez notes that at-home maintenance is important for keeping your mulled wine shade intact. "For maintaining a color like this, I would recommend washing hair with cooler water and using either a professional line of color safe shampoo or Viral Extreme Red Colorwash which keeps the red vibrant." She also recommends using a repairing treatment like the Olaplex and cutting down on the use of hot tools.
This season, posing with a festive drink on Instagram might not cut it—we recommend embracing the mulled wine hair color trend for the ultimate holiday look, or at the very least taking a moment to ‘ooh’ and ‘ahh’ over these gorgeous Instagram posts from real women who are rocking the hot new color.
