2016 Colour Trends
We bring light into the darkness: What is probably the season’s most natural colour trend has women in a tizzy: Floodlights. The name is the game, since this happening highlight technique produces discreet but definite radiance. Learn all about the look below
Pure sensuality: Cool red hues remain popular in 2016, just like last year! Since this exciting hair colour already performed so well in the past season, we are definitely including this hue in the colour palette again (natural or dyed). This time in earthier versions – from strawberry to saffron – and streaked with as many red nuances as possible
A beautiful end! Dip-dye and ombré have already made their mark on hair ends, but trendsetters want more. This year the lengths really show their colours according to the motto: Do what feels good! Bright rainbow hues and multicoloured strands add a special effect to any hairdo. Hint: They work especially well in dark hair!
Cotton candy, vanilla ice cream, blueberry syrup ... We find what is coming to our hair irresistible. This colour trend is named after the opal. The pastel neon nuances that show through partly to completely in the white-blonde mane (attention: mandatory base colour!) are actually reminiscent of the iridescent precious stone. And to be honest, opal hair simply sounds classy. As a colourful mix of multiple hues or reduced to two delicate tones (see photo) – this is one trendy interplay of colours!
The passion for pastel goes a step further this season – all the way to the ends! Here is what the fine colour liaison looks like: An intense, powerful colour (such as brick red) in the lengths, softly tapering to pale towards the bottom, conjures stylish movement in trendy 2016 hair!
Truly a highlight: Platinum blonde is the eye-catcher of the year – and the basis for many other popular colour looks. This is because the trendy powder colours and veining, such as grey and green (see photo above), require a clean base for colouring. White-blonde makes it possible: The cool platinum style is convincing on its own, and even better with added colour

2016 Colour Trends: Floodlights bring light to the darkness
Style blogger Helena Bordon looks as radiant as her floodlights
Are you longing for a hair colour that makes you shine? No problem with floodlights! The somewhat wider blonde streaks à la Helena Bordon brighten up your mane in next to no time, without entirely changing your hair colour. What is known as “floodlighting” gives you a natural hue that is especially soft on your skin and really flattering for your complexion. The coloured strands are either applied using the foil technique or painted freehand, and are wider than usual. Important: Avoid being too precise, make floodlights of different lengths that are not too accurate. That keeps the look natural and modern!
