Why this worksSeasonal hair colours reflect the changing tones of nature, making them ideal for this time of year. Warmer shades can enhance your complexion and complement the autumn palette. Plus, these techniques allow for a gradual transition, so you can update your look without a complete overhaul.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Choose Your Base Shade Start with your natural hair colour as a base. Consider warm undertones like golden blonde or rich brown to reflect autumn vibes.
  2. Add Highlights Incorporate soft highlights in shades like honey or copper. Focus on the top sections and around the face to create dimension and warmth.
  3. Consider Balayage Technique Balayage allows for a more natural transition between shades. This freehand technique can create a sun-kissed effect perfect for fall without stark lines.
  4. Use a Gloss Treatment Finish with a gloss treatment to enhance shine and richness of the colour. This adds depth and can refresh faded colours, making your hair look vibrant.

Where people go wrong

One common mistake is choosing a colour too far from your natural shade, which can look unnatural. Over-highlighting can also lead to a stripy appearance, so aim for soft, blended tones. Lastly, neglecting aftercare can dull your new colour quickly.

The pro moveMix in a few lowlights for added depth and dimension, creating a more sophisticated, multi-tonal look.
