Q: What is the biggest hair colour trend of 2018?The dusted rouge, a chic, sort of vintage brown colour, is a global trend currently popular in most countries. It started in the West Coast of America and, thanks to social media, it is taking the industry by storm. Q: What kind of role does social media play in dictating colour trends?
