The weather is turning cooler, and the days are getting shorter. It’s time to switch the summer wardrobe of bright colors and tank tops over to the muted hues, cozy sweaters, and cute boots of fall. But what about changing up your hair color? For everything from blonde to brunette and balayage to bold vivids, read on for your fall hair color trends forecast.

#1: Champagne Blonde

To bring your summer blonde into the changing season, warm it up with a champagne gloss. To create this look, bring up the highlights only around your face and use your natural color for dimension and a rooty feel. Then tone faded highlights with a soft golden blonde to enhance warm undertones in your skin and brown eyes.

#2: Sweet Tea

For a fresh fall take on strawberry or auburn hair, try adding a hint of rose to golden or coppery locks for a sweet tea inspired hue. The added cool tone gives tons of contrast while maintaining a mellow ginger vibe. This is going to be a new spin on the red/copper tones we see pick up in the fall and it also makes hazel eyes pop!

#3: Mushroom

Mixing warm and cool tones within one look is super modern and adds interest and mystery to your color. This look will work best for dark blonde/light brown beauties. Try out a shadow root slightly warmer than your natural color and tone highlights using super cool ash tones. The warmer shadow root plays up skin tone and the cool dimension takes summer highlights into fall and winter.

#4: Dulce De Leche

Weathers’ original, anyone? This season, brunettes are warming up with rich caramel tones. Balayage is my go-to technique to achieve perfectly placed pieces that are heavier around the face for pop and spread out through the back to preserve depth and dimension. For extra ooey-gooey goodness, ask for a gloss with a hint of golden copper for extra pop against chocolatey brown hair!
