As we kick off the new year, if you're thinking of switching up your hair colour then now's the perfect time. Award-winning hair colourist â and my go-to â Siobhan Haug at Haug London Haus, has shared her top colour trends for this winter.
These include 'smokey brunette' (a dark, cool-toned brown seen on Jenna Ortega), 'Chappell red' (cherry brown and cola shades inspired by singer Chappell Roan), and 'amber blonde', a glossy, golden tone famously worn by Sabrina Carpenter.
While booking an appointment with a hair professional will obviously give the best results, if you want to try out these colour trends without committing to a permanent colour change â and without permanently altering your existing hair colour â Siobhan recommends one handy product: colour masks. Here's how to use them...

"We mix up our own ones bespoke ones here in the salon, but there are lots of really great shop-bought ones too â for example, Josh Wood does a nice colour mask for getting an amber blonde look, and Bleach London does really nice smokey tones that you can put over your brunette."
How long do colour masks last?"Colour masks have larger colour pigment so they tend to sit on the outside of the hair shaft â so it depends how porous your hair is, but they generally up to 10 washes," Siobhan explains. "If you have really porous hair it could release the colour sooner than that, and if you have fine hair around your hairline it could grab onto the colour more here," reports the Mirror.
She gives a special tip for those with finer locks, "When I give our clients with fine hair our colour masks I always advise them put it all over apart from the hairline, then when you wash it out, wash it over the hairline, so it doesn't grab too much pigment there."
Do colour masks affect your existing hair colour?"If you used a strong creative colour like peacock or violet then yes, it could linger," Siobhan explains. "But if you're going for something more natural like amber blonde or smokey brunette, it shouldn't have a lasting effect on your natural colour."
And if you're in a rush to return to your regular hue, Siobhan recommends: "If you wanted to clear this colour sooner than the 10 washes, or if it is a bit stronger than you expected, you can use a clarifying shampoo to remove it quicker." We love Olaplex No. 4C Bond Maintenance Deep Clean Clarifying Shampoo at £22.40, Beauty Pie Super Healthy Hair Detox Wash Shampoo for £14, or OUAI Detox Shampoo starting from £12.
