Pre-Fall Red Alert From Schwarzkopf Professional's Maryl Velbeck

Schwarzkopf Rouge Hair Color

Colorist Maryl Velbeck predicts that a crimson wave will elicit a ripple effect come autumn. Velbeck, who dubbed her cover look “Regal Rouge,” sourced her inspiration from the natural world, channeling the beauty of vividly colored dark red geraniums. The result? A black cherry-esque color melt that’s ripe for the impending season.
