Leaves are falling, and according to Travis Ogletree, a few old-school hair rules can go with them.
The celebrity hairstylist, who’s worked with Shay Mitchell, Miranda Kerr, Lana Del Rey, January Jones, and more, is telling ET which beauty beliefs are worth holding onto, plus the ones that deserve a seasonal shake-up.
First up: the idea that fall automatically calls for darker hair.
“The world has a much more relaxed approach to the idea of going lighter for summer and darker for fall now. I actually find myself going a bit lighter as my tan fades,” he reveals.
Whether you’re ready for a major color moment or just want something new this autumn, Ogletree says keeping your strands healthy should be at the top of the list.
“I use the Moroccanoil Color Calypso Demi-Permanent Glosses. They take roughly 20 minutes and last a bit longer than your average gloss. Because it’s a demi, you can add pigments to neutralize, warm up, or cool down your tone, as well as deepen the color, without the long-term commitment of a permanent shade, which makes it really useful for refreshing sun-faded color.”
“Moroccanoil also has ArganID technology behind its color lines, so they actually make the hair feel better and more conditioned,” he continues.
As for the urge to make the chop? Ogletree believes your face shape, not the trend cycle, should lead the way.
“A custom face frame tailored to accentuate your features is always in style for me, whether that’s minimizing the forehead with a longer fringe or softening a jawline with chin-length pieces.”
Once you’ve nailed your look, maintaining it goes beyond the salon chair.
“Using a hair mask, like the Weightless Hydrating Mask, once a week is a great way to make sure hair is feeling healthy and nourished. The scent is luxurious and familiar, and the lightweight nature of it makes it great for pretty much any hair type,” he shares.
If summer left your strands a little worse for wear, though, it may be time to bring in the heavy hitters.
“Try the Restorative Hair Mask, Intense Hydrating Mask, or the new Overnight Leave-In Mask. It’s a no-rinse formula that isn’t meant to replace anything in your routine, but instead, adds a boost of hydration and nourishment to make the hair softer and easier to detangle.”
But just because sweater weather is setting in doesn’t mean it’s time to turn your hot tools all the way up.
“No matter what you’re doing color-wise, make sure your hair is healthy and protected from heat styling once we move into colder months that aren’t as friendly to an air dry,” he suggests.
“My personal recommendation is to never set your hot tools over 360 degrees and don’t avoid using a heat protectant because you’re worried it will weigh your hair down. If you like something really lightweight with a glossy finish, try the Perfect Defense Heat Protectant.”
While the seasons are changing, Ogletree is holding onto one styling staple.
“People have been loving a spray-in oil in the studio lately. I’ve been using the Treatment Mist as a finishing touch to my end results for a style you can run your hands through with ease.”
