How to achieve pumpkin spice latte hair?
When it comes to hair, pumpkin spice latte colour is heavily Kim Possible coded, if you’re a 90s Disney kid, you will remember the fiery copper hue the cartoon starlet rocked. It’s something like that, but humanised, with a lot more dimension.
We asked Laura Elliott, head of education at haircare professionals, Neäl & Wølf, what to ask your professional colourist when transitioning to the autumnal ‘pumpkin spice latte colour’ and how to maintain the look all season long. Laura explains “Taking its name from the popular ‘it girl’ drink (pumpkin spice latte) this rich warm colour incorporates blends of copper, chestnut, amber, pecan, and red gold hues to create a multidimensional effect perfect for autumn.”
Laura then adds: “To get the look, I recommend taking in reference pictures for your stylists to work off as everyone has a totally different starting point and therefore will each require a different colour formula to achieve a similar outcome, this is why reference pictures or mood boards are super important.”
It’s important to remember that no colour trend is a ‘one size fits all’ so be open minded when discussing the best undertones for your complexion with your hair colourist.
