My clients are always looking for a haircolor change with each season, even if it’s small,” explains Cunningham. “With Redken’s NEW Chromatics prismatic permanent haircolor, I have unlimited color possibilities and my clients love how healthy and conditioned their hair is!”  

Spring/Summer 2012 Trend #1: Brunettes “My clients are still loving Redken’s Illumination technique – darker roots with lighter ends. Brunettes continue to lighten up into the warmer months whether they go a little lighter on the ends or for their overall color. So many of my clients bring in photos of Minka Kelly for their hair inspiration. She has such a pretty warm golden brown color that looks fantastic with her complexion. As the weather warms up, even brunettes like to brighten up their color for summer!”

Spring/Summer 2012 Trend #2: Redheads “Bryce Dallas Howard is definitely the most requested color for my redhead clients. She’s become such an “it girl” since her role in “The Help” and rightfully so! Her deep red color is definitely going to be a trend for Spring/Summer ’12. No messing around here – deep, strong and vibrant reds are here to stay!”

 Spring/Summer 2012 Trend #3: Blondes “Blondes are not just for LA anymore! Whether I take clients to platinum blonde like Kate Bosworth or a darker blonde like Molly Sims, they’re destined to be on trend. The blonder the better but still keeping the look natural is key.”
