From Twiggy to Brigitte Bardot and Liz Taylor, L’Oréal Professional’s Retro Nouveau Autumn/Winter Color Collection recreates vintage Hollywood glamour with a modern twist by using the new shadow illusion technique through a palette of cool blondes, copper and violets.

These glamorous hair trends are a nod to the Hollywood fashions of the 50s and 60s that took over the runways at this season’s Paris Fashion Week.
