There’s just something about a chill in the autumn air that makes us think: new hair color! Maybe it’s the reds and oranges in decorations and leaves, but warm hues may be on your mind when it comes to your hair. Or you may be thinking of something entirely different — an ashy highlight to pair with paler skin. Whatever it is, change is the order of the day, and what better way to embrace a new season than by giving your hair new life and vigor?
There are a number of new colors that are making the rounds this fall. But here are five of the trendiest and most flattering hair colors.
Women Are Swapping Their Boring Water For This Ice Pop Electrolyte Mix!
Walnut Blonde
Your mind may not automatically jump to blonde when the weather gets cooler, but Barbie blonde isn’t the only blonde in town. If you mix your blonde down with a warm walnut, you get a color like this beautiful shade sported by Ana de Armas. This version of bronde feels new and different. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to go blonde — but not too blonde.
Auburn
Is there a such thing as fall hair color without the mention of auburn? Julianne Moore’s signature hair color is a reddish brown with a copper hint and tons of shine.
Ruby Red
If your favorite shade of red is one that makes the biggest possible statement, then Rihanna’s ruby red color is for you. Its jewel tone brightens up a clear complexion and draws attention to your eyes and facial features. You won’t even have to worry about the outfit you have on — ruby-red hair makes an impact even when you’re dressed down.
High-Contrast Balayage
If you do a Google search for Cindy Crawford’s hair in the 1990s, you’ll stumble upon one of the most perfect examples of high-contrast balayage. Forget subtlety: this look is all about pairing a few intense gold, blonde, or red highlights with a darker base and really letting your color shine. Heidi Klum also gets the look just right with vivid shades of blonde.
Chocolate Brown
Not everyone is keen on going super light or red, and that’s why mysterious and sensual colors like chocolate brown remain popular. Emily Ratajkowski looks anything but boring with her shiny dark hair — the key to getting it right is weaving subtle highlights into your hair to give it depth and dimension.
