4 Trendy And Flattering Hair Colors To Try For Fall 2023

1. Bropper

If you can't choose between light brown hair or red this autumn, you're in luck! 'Bropper' or brown mixed with copper, is a trendy shade that Megan Fox has been known to rock.

Abdullah points out that this hue is perfect for fall, and will be sought after by many in salons in the upcoming months. "This hair color stands out so nicely when there are fall-colored leaves around," Abdullah says. "It really draws a lot of attention."

Mazzei agrees, and stresses that "every skin tone" can wear red. "Reddish-brown is a staple for fall," he says, also pointing out that it "allows us to enjoy the red trend without lightening our hair beyond brown and possibly causing damage."

2. Mushroom Brown

When it comes to a 'mushroom' hair color, Decker explains that this TikTok-trendy look, as seen on Hailey Bieber, "mimics the many ashy tones of mushrooms as well as the deeper hues on their undersides to create that subtle and cool color."

He adds that it is ultimately a "blonde hair color but a bit on the darker side with gray and purple undertones." Udoh says that this creates the "perfect balance between dark and light tones, and is the ideal choice for those wanting to lighten their complexion subtly without going too bright."

She also says that this "soft blend of ashy warm browns and cool smoky grays" is the perfect option for clients looking for "something on trend yet still versatile enough to transition seasonally."

3. Barbiecore Blonde

It's no secret that Barbie fever has pervaded all aspects of fashion and beauty this year. The color pink has become a ubiquitous accent in design and a prevalent trend in clothing.

Moreover, the striking Barbiecore blonde hair color sported by Margot Robbie in the recent Barbie movie is poised to be one of the most popular hair colors of the approaching autumn season, as predicted by stylists.

The Barbie blonde shade is known for being one of the palest hues of blonde available, Richards tells us. "If you are able to achieve that, this color has the potential to look amazing on just about anyone," Richards adds.

"Barbie blonde tends to be in a range between pale gold and neutral tones, making it extremely easy for all skin tones to wear," she continues, regarding the upcoming fall season and its enduring appeal.

4. Strawberry Blonde

Abdullah says that strawberry blonde is a TikTok-trendy hair color that is a "blend of blonde and pink," as seen above on Viola Davis. "It is often described as having awarm, golden glow."

She explains that strawberry blonde as a hair color can "range in shade from light blonde with hints of pink to dark blonde with a coppery tint."

Abdullah notes that this is a "popular hair color" for fall 2023 because it is "flattering on a variety of skin tones." Its two main shades, pink and yellow, are often "used to achieve this color" and they "bring out the natural tones in faces of all different tones and make them look alive."

 

Strawberry blonde, as also seen on Nicole Kidman, is a great "transitioning color when you want to move from blonde to something more exciting," Abdullah goes on.

"Maybe you're not sure if pink or orange are for you, so this is a great way to dip your toe into the exciting world of fashion hair colors," she says.

Overall, whether you opt for bropper, mushroom brown or either of the two aforementioned blonde shades, autumn presents an ideal opportunity to experiment with your hair, given the season's transformative nature!
