To keep the richness of this tone going all season long, I would recommend replacing a moisture-rich shampoo like Design Essentials Almond & Avocado Moisturizing Shampoo with a color-protective mask. It maintains all that shiny and healthy even as you drink your third latte of the day.
It is one of my favorite types of fall updates, personally. It does not shout seasonal makeover but makes you feel refreshed. I tell you: To be glowing, without glittering, begin with tone like this.
It is soft, classy, and it tells people that you have layers both literally and figuratively.
High-Contrast Golden Top Layer
This is a daring approach to two-tone coloring, now, a light golden top layer and dark espresso bottom. It is cool, surprising, and completely stylish with a blunt cut and curtain bangs. What I adore is that this style provides you with the brightness of blonde without the obligation of a complete lightening procedure. The darker under-layer provides depth and contrast that looks particularly good on deeper skin tones.
You will have to be careful about the frequency of flat ironing when you have light hair on dark. I would recommend a heat protectant that has hold such as Tresemm Keratin Smooth Heat Protect Spray which will provide a sleek finish but not a heavy one.
I was afraid of such dramatic contrast as it could be too costume-y. But when done with purpose, as here, it is up to date and secure. And it is even more fun in fall fashion, to be frank. A neutral trench, a dark denim and this hair? You are stepping into your protagonist arc.
It has a pop star feel to it, but it is not without wearability.
Curtain Bangs Dark Chocolate
This is the color that I think of when I want to feel expensive. Dark chocolate brown, glossy, with that silk-press sheen, cut in loose waves and offset with curtain bangs that tease your cheekbones. It is low-drama in tone, high-impact in finish. No ombr, no highlights, just a richness all the way through.
This type of color loves to be hydrated. My thing is to put on a little Mielle Organics Rosemary Mint Scalp Oil at night, which makes the roots happy and gives it a glow that is almost editorial.
That is why I find myself returning to chocolate tones every fall because they go with everything. Satin in taupe, cashmere, leather jackets – all the textures are just better. And the bangs? They give an element of mystery without having to keep a full fringe.
It is classic, yet not simple and that is the energy I would like to bring into October.
Coppered Short Curls
A short cut with thick copper ends and turned over, retro-looking curls? Yes, please. This appearance is chef kiss to the girl who needs volume, character, and that undeniable fall coziness. The copper pops even more with the deep brown foundation and those exact swoops around the cheekbones.
This shape is hold and bounce. To that, I can attest to The Doux Mousse Def Texture Foam, which aids in shaping curls without making them heavy and unmanageable.
I will always remember the first time I had a similar cut. I was scared to go short but once I saw the movement in the mirror, it was over. It was mature, daring and unashamedly beautiful.
Also, this type of style exudes large amounts of I am booked and busy energy, and I am here for it.
Shiny Noir Clear Spiral
There are colors that do not require decoration, they only require honor. One of them is this jet black spiral curl moment. It is ultra-glossy, crisply cut, and has a lot of body and serves as a reminder that natural texture done well is a full power move. The side part is dramatic, the curls are soft and moving.
Maintaining curls such as these is a time-consuming process but it is so worth it. I prefer to apply Camille Rose Curl Maker to wet hair and allow them to air-dry or diffuse at low temperatures.
Whenever I have my natural texture in a glam way like this, I get compliments not on the hair itself, but how pulled together I am. This type of appearance crowns your face. No clamorous color required, but only self-assurance and solicitude.
This is the hair that completes the outfit, should fall be all about soft layering and clean silhouettes.
Golden Honey Lengths and Wet Soft Texture
This golden honey color is tilted towards luxury meets chill. The hair is long and smooth with the perfect touch of movement, almost as though it was air-dried on purpose. It is sun-drenched but not beachy and gives off that warm undertone that just feels so flattering in warm autumn light. It is casual yet polished, which is just the right amount of style when you don t want to look too styled.
Such a pair of colors and texture works well with lightweight hydration. My favorite leave-in is Briogeo Farewell Frizz Rosarco Milk Leave-In, which adds a lot of smoothness but never makes hair look weighed down. You need definition, not frizz and that begins with moisture beyond lunch.
