Top Tips on How To Protect Your Tresses this Winter from FOX Hair Design

Winter is on it’s way, folks!

As the temperature drops with the change of season, our skin, hair and nails can really suffer. The whipping cold winds and dry air can often strip moisture from your pores and strands – not to mention leaving your hair feeling rough, frizzy and lacking in vitality, too. Plus, the up-coming party season is bound to take its toll on your hair. Endless tonging, curling, straightening and blow drying can leave locks in need of some serious TLC.

Fortunately, we stock a vast range of miracle products at FOX Hair Design, each designed to defy the elements and salvage our tresses until we can wave a fond farewell to the deep-freeze winter months. Here are our top tips to overhaul your hair care regime for the Winter.

Nourish, Nourish, Nourish!

The first step to keeping your hair in tip-top condition this winter is to have a good trim to remove damaged and dry ends. This is the perfect opportunity to talk to your FOX Hair Design stylist about a new, dynamic look for winter. While you’re there, have an in-salon nourishing and repair treatment to add moisture, protein and shine back to your hair. Why not talk to us about Schwarzkopf Professional Fibre Clinix; a truly personalised treatment service that rebuilds damaged bonds inside the hair. Fibre Clinix is a two part service that is tailored to your hair care needs through adding a shot of concentrate that tackles colour retention, damage, hydration, volume or frizz.

And take home a treatment regime especially prescribed for your specific hair needs. Your FOX Hair Design stylist will be able to advise the best care regime of shampoo, conditioner, weekly at home treatment and daily leave in for your specific hair type.

Brighten Up Your Hair Colour

Consider talking to your FOX Hair Design stylist about adding some balayage highlights into your hair during the winter months. The balayage technique is a great way to keep your hair looking naturally sun-kissed all year long, and can also be used to add not just highlights, but lowlights, too, which results in seamless and blended dimension.

This subtle, natural colouring technique can transform even the dullest head of hair into refreshed, younger, more beautiful looking hair.

Why Brunette is Best

Why Brunette is Best


Whether you’re already brunette, but want to try a different shade, or you’re blonde and want to go darker for the winter months, there’s a wealth of brunette hair shades to choose from!

Are you unsure about the best brunette hair colour shades for your hair and skin tone? Look no further: the hair colour experts at Fox Hair Design salons in Barwell & Hinckley are here to explain the different shades of brunette available, as well as how you can get creative with different colouring techniques, so you’ll be sure to get the perfect darker hair shade for you!

How Do I Know What Skin Tone I Have?

Your skin tone is not the same as your skin colour. To find the best brunette hair shade for you, you’ll need to work out which type of skin tone you have.

If silvery blue colours complement your complexion, or your veins tend to be more blue than green, it is likely that you have a cool skin tone. If, however, gold colours brighten your face and your veins are more of a green shade, you most likely have a warm skin tone. As with everything though, there’s always a middle ground, and those lucky enough to have neutral-toned skin can rock almost any brunette hair colour.

Once you know what skin tone you have, you can choose the most flattering brunette hair colours – with the help from a hair colour expert at Fox Hair Design of course!

Brunette Hair Colours for Warm Skin Tones

When it comes to finding your perfect brunette hair shade, you need to compliment your warm skin tone. The best brunette colours for warm skin tones are those with red undertones such as honey browns, auburns, caramel colours and copper tones.

The Best Brunette Hair Colours for Cool Skin Tones

For cool skin tones, certain brunette shades can brighten the complexion. Dark auburn and chestnut brown colours are ideal to reveal a radiant complexion. If you are currently a blonde and don’t want to go too dark, you could ask for a light ash brown or iced coffee shade which would be ideal for those with a cool skin tone.

Temporary Brunette Hair Colours

If you’re not sure which brunette shade is right for you, or you don’t want to make a big committment to your hair colour, ask your Fox Hair Design hair colour expert about semi-permanent or temporary hair colour. We can create some fabulous, natural looking temporary brunette hair colours for you at our Barwell & Hinckley hair salons.

Multi-Dimensional Brunette Balayage Hair Colours

There are a wide range of brunette hair colours, which are perfect for creating multi-dimensional thicker looking hair. An ideal way to create this multi-dimensional look is by asking your Fox hair colour specialist about our fantastic balayage hair colours.

Balayage is one of the most requested hair colouring techniques, where the colour is hand painted onto your hair to create a bespoke, natural looking and low maintenance brunette hair colour. We can use a subtle blend of highlights and lowlights to create the brunette balayage colour of your dreams.

For the winter months, many women choose to add copper and bronze brunette shades to flatter and warm their brown hair.
