Fall is just around the corner and we’re so ready for it! After a long, fun-filled summer, it’s time to switch things up—starting with a fresh hair color. This season’s palette features fiery reds, rich browns and unexpected blondes, along with an autumn-inspired selection of vivid hues.
Let’s take a sneak peek at the fall hair color trends about to dominate the season.
1. Luxurious Brunette
We’ve been obsessed with rich, dimensional brunettes for a while now, and honestly? We’re not ready to move on just yet.
2. Caramel Balayage
Bring warmth to your tresses and a glow to your complexion with a gorgeous caramel balayage. Fall is the perfect time to add a little heat to your look!
3. Cinnamon Brown Hair
Cinnamon brown is the brunette answer to strawberry blonde—warm, inviting and just on the edge of red, but not quite. It’s a perfect fall shade for those with rosy undertones.
4. Warm Chocolate Brown
The simple and understated chocolate brown shade is subtle and so gorgeous. If you love the clean girl aesthetic, this color is definitely for you.
5. Velvet Brown
If you’re looking to go dark for fall but can’t quite pull off black hair, velvet brown is a great option. This deep brunette shade won’t overwhelm light skin tones and looks beautifully soft on deeper complexions.
6. Glossy Jet Black
Nothing compares to glossy, inky black hair. If you played around with lighter shades in the summer, now’s the time to go back to black!
7. Copper Tones
Copper tones dominate fall trends, and it’s up to you to pick the perfect shade. This season, the classic copper shade is impossible to resist: it’s warm, radiant and perfect for cool weather.
8. Burnt Copper Hair
Burnt copper is rich and sultry, and you might not even need bleach to get it. If your hair’s already around level 6 it’s easy to achieve, and it will be even more vibrant on pre-lightened strands.
9. Pumpkin Spice Hair
Pumpkin spice hair is bright and bold, but perfect for fall. This radiant shade is perfect for brightening up gloomy days and flatters all skin tones.
10. Spiced Rum Hair Color
Spiced rum is a muted auburn with just the right amount of warmth and dimension—perfect if you want something subtle and toned down.
11. Auburn Highlights
Instead of the caramel or blonde highlights that most brunettes opt for, why not try some red for fall? Auburn highlights are trending, but you can also go lighter or bolder.
12. Chocolate Cherry Hair
Chocolate cherry is fantastic for brunettes who want to add some excitement to their natural color without going too light or bold. This glossy shade looks especially amazing on medium to deep complexions with olive undertones.
13. Red Wine Hair
Red wine hair is as rich and varied as the drink itself, with shades ranging from deep berry to golden reds. Consult your colorist for a custom shade that suits you best.
14. Bright Red Hair
Bright, vivid red hair will put you in the spotlight, but you wouldn’t choose it if you weren’t ready for that. To keep this intense hue vibrant, a color-preserving hair care routine is a must.
15. Rooted Blonde
Rooted blonde is trending, but it’s also the low-maintenance way to maintain your blonde without constant root touch-ups. Glossing the mid-lengths and ends will keep you looking fresh all season long.
16. Mushroom Blonde
Cool-toned blondes are having a moment and mushroom blonde might be the prettiest among them. Muted and soft, this color fits right in with the fall season.
17. Ash Blonde Hair
Ash blonde is back, but you’ll need to stay on top of it to avoid brassiness. Purple shampoo every other wash should help.
18. Sandy Blonde
Sandy blonde is sticking around even though summer’s over. Its light, dimensional hues will remind you of warmer days even when the weather cools down.
19. Strawberry Blonde
Natural blondes often experience an epiphany when they add a hint of red to their hair. Strawberry blonde adds a warm glow that will have you wondering why you didn’t try it sooner.
20. Milky Blonde
Ethereal milky blonde is a muted platinum shade that demands commitment. But the payoff? An otherworldly color that’s totally worth the effort.
21. Golden Blonde Hair
Golden blonde in fall? Absolutely. This radiant shade flatters warm skin tones—it’s easy to see why you wouldn’t want to part with it just because summer is over.
22. Muted Rose Gold Hair
Rose gold is making a big comeback this fall. This cute, glowing peachy-pink shade is achieved with semi-permanent color on pre-lightened hair.
23. Smokey Blue Hair
Smoky gray-blue hair is one of fall’s edgiest trends. This stunning shade looks otherworldly when paired with dark ombre roots that fade into pale smoky ends.
24. Dusty Pink Hair
This fall’s pastels are more muted and edgy and work great with darker roots for a grungy feel. This pink is cool, not cutesy, if you’re into that.
25. Pastel Lavender Hair
Pastel lavender is fleeting, but magical. It fades quickly, but while it lasts, you’ll feel like you’re living in a fairytale.
