Somehow it’s already almost autumn, meaning it’s time to start your search for the best fall hair colors. So far, this year has seen the rise of quiet luxury hair and the subsequent fall of balayage and highlights, which, according to stylists, will likely continue into the cooler seasons.
“This fall we will be seeing many enriching adjustments to hair color,” Lauren Mildice, hair colorist at Chicago’s Maxine Salon, tells Glamour. “Barbie blondes will find balance and depth through the addition of caramel, honey, and pumpkin spice ribbons added throughout the hair, and strawberry blondes will now transition into rich deep copper shades like auburn.”
And of course, natural brunettes are sure to have fun too. “Brunettes have choices—they can go from neutral to spectacular including exciting combinations of mahogany, plum and caramel-chocolate browns,” Mildice continues. “This season it’s time to rev up our leftover summer hair!”
As for redheads? “This will be the season for reds; both warm cool and primary. Think of it like lipstick, everyone has a shade of red they prefer best,” says Maxine Salon colorist Rex Jimieson. “Whether it’s warm and orangey, primary and vibrant, or cool and moody with violet notes, for fall it’s time to start putting pigment back in your hair after bleaching it out all summer.”
