The bob will always be a timeless statement, chic, versatile, and the perfect hairstyle for Black women looking to refresh their look. The beauty of a bob is that it suits all face shapes; it’s just about choosing the right length and finish for you. Go for a bob full of volume and movement, keep it sleek with a middle part, add sliced layers for texture, or try a bold jaw-length or angled cut for extra edge. However you wear it, the bob is simple, stylish, and always on-trend.

Turn heads this season with full, rich copper highlights finished with a flawless silk press. Warm, golden and red tones add depth and dimension, creating a stunning contrast against darker hair. The result? Shiny, sleek hair with a vibrant pop of colour that feels fresh, stylish, and perfect for autumn.

Burgundy Tones

During autumn, shades of red always steal the spotlight, and this year, burgundy tones are leading the way. Rich, velvety hues like deep plum, wine, and cherry burgundy add instant depth and warmth to your look. For extra dimension, why not take it further with bold highlights? Golden copper, fiery red, or even soft caramel streaks create a striking contrast against your base shade, giving your style a vibrant, multi-tonal finish.
