As sunny summer days begin to fade, so does summer hair. Gone are beachy blonde highlights and tousled, carefree waves. Instead, the seasonal hair transition gets serious with deep brown hues, golden amber blondes, and spicy reds with sleek, structured styles. These hair color changes correspond to fall colors introduced in fashion and makeup. The lightened locks of summer don’t play out as nicely when skin tones get pale and clothing captivates with a bold, earthy brilliance. We tend toward darker tresses, as if there is some unwritten rule.
That leaves us with so many choices and so many colors. How does one choose? A good solution is to sample a new twist on the ever-popular ombre hair color. This multi-tonal color trend gives even the most undecided fashionistas the best of both worlds: two hair colors in one! For autumn, ombre gets softer with a more blended look than the starkly contrasted version seen earlier in 2013. Note the difference here on a Hollywood celebrity famous for hairstyle savvy, Jessica Biel. Like it?
