Aveda’s Sublime Spirit Collection for autumn and winter casts an eye back through the ages and emerges with looks that are informed by history and, at the same time, are completely fresh and modern. Here, for example, a completely on-trend rosy blonde hue puts a futuristic spin on vintage finger waves. The result is the perfect blend of old and new!
