Another thing people who color their hair is making sure that the color lasts.
"Vivid hair colors are very popular right now," said Silvestri who added that along with hair care, skin care also needs to be paid attention to as the weather starts to change.
"Hydration, hydration, hydration and it's very important," said Silvestri. "There are products built with coconut water, peptides and seaweed masks."
