Heads up for autumn

Whatever your wardrobe woes, one thing a girl can always count on are the changing of the seasons.
Staying seasonally slick is essential to any fashion follower, but it’s not all about changing your attire. Updating your hair is just as crucial but you don’t want to harm it.

Let’s take a sneak peek at two of Autumn/Winter 2008’s most fabulous hair looks with top colour consultant March Ramos:

Ruby Chocolate
“Autumn/Winter 08 is all about Ruby Chocolate. Creating this glossy, warm look with Naturtint is easy; simply add mahogany tones, like Naturtint Mahogany Chestnut, or Light Mahogany Chestnut, to flat brown shades. The darker your hair is, the stronger the mahogany tone you can use. If you have blonde hair, stick to rich golden tones ranging from honeycomb to peach. For more peachy tones, if you usually have an all over light blonde, try adding a drop of copper.”

Vibrant Vamp
“This has to be one of the simplest looks for Autumn/Winter 08. Taking inspiration from 1940s movie starlets like Rita Hayworth and Joan Crawford this look uses block colour to boost your natural colour with tone and adds ultra-shine as if you too were on the big screen! To achieve this, simply choose a shade of Naturtint one or two shades lighter or darker than your natural colour and apply as per pack instructions. This will add a velvety colour and extra sheen to your hair, and the simplicity of this look makes your hair look more expensive and stylish - think ebony blacks, bright ruby reds and pin-up blondes, and above all think glam!”

Naturtint is the first permanent hair colourant that is free from ammonia and is formulated with active vegetable extracts and selected organic ingredients. Because it is also free from parabens and resorcinol, it is a gentle hair treatment that is kinder to your hair. And thanks to its nutrient-rich formulation you will not only achieve flawless, on-trend colour, but your hair is left in tip-top condition too.

Naturtint, £8.99, is available from Holland & Barrett, independent health food stores and via mail order at www.naturesdream.co.uk
