If you’re a sucker for a copper balayage and dusky red tones, meet your new BFF. Conceptualized by Wella Professionals color trend expert Zoë Irwin, haze glazing is a coloring technique that makes use of warm, rusty color palettes to give your dark hair a sunny lift.
The goal of haze glazing is to produce an illuminating, sunset-like auburn tone by using various shades of red, like Maple Mustard, Bitter Clove and Sunworn Terracotta. Basically, the exact opposite of spring’s icy pastels.
It adds a “wash of warmth” to your hair for an overall spiciness. If you have pre-lightened locks or babylights, haze glazing is ideal. Need some inspo? Check out the slideshow above before booking an appointment with your colorist.

Irwin was inspired by the auburn shades of the 70s when she created Bitter Clove, Sienna Dusk and Maple Mustard. Think Stevie Nicks during her auburn phase.

Red Hot
If you want a bronzed yet reddish balayage or just full-bodied color, haze glazing is ideal. It also works great when you want to introduce some warm tones to dark or sandy blond shades.
