Autumn Hair Color FAQs

  • Before deciding whether warmer or cooler hair colors are better for the fall, remember that warm tones enhance the autumnal style, but you can go for a more sophisticated look with cool deep brunette shades like Espresso Brown to create contrast.
  • Most autumn hair colors like warm browns and reds often work over natural shades, so they do not require bleaching beforehand. However, you may need pre-lightening if transitioning to lighter tones than your current shade.
  • Like most permanent hair dye, fall hair colors last 4 to 6 weeks. You can protect your DIY color and make it last longer by washing with sulfate-free shampoo, using cool water, and avoiding hot tools (including blow dryers).
  • The most low-maintenance fall hair colors are ones that don’t need constant touchups. Freehand techniques like balayage grow out with a natural look. Root-melt or root-smudge brunettes and mocha hues are also great options for minimal upkeep.
  • You can add dimension to your fall hair color by creating subtle contrast with complementary warm tones. For example, free-style balayage highlights, face-framing highlights, and ombré blends will all add depth for extra volume.
  • You can maintain your autumn hair color by using color-safe products that do not contain drying sulfates or alcohol, applying UV protection and gloss treatments, and protecting your color overnight with satin pillowcases and/or bonnets. You can also improve hair health by ensuring proper and constant hydration.
