Now that the nights are drawing in and the cold weather is upon us, those who love switching up their hair colour with the seasons might be wondering what the trending tones will be for winter. This year, however, it’s less about one viral shade (like deep burgundy) and more about one specific technique that colourists are raving about. Enter: colour melting.

Trust us—it’s what everyone is going to be asking for in salons as we head into 2026.
