This appearance glows when combined with a slight texture. I adore a light texturizing spray such as Verb Volume Dry Texture Spray and brush it out with a boar bristle brush to give it that modern lived-in look and feel. A small amount of root touch-up powder in between salon appointments will ensure that the blonde does not look grown-out.
I have always felt that this type of blonde works particularly well with the more luxurious wardrobe colors of fall-olive greens, deep burgundies, dark chocolate hues. You can think of it as the hair is the accent of the outfit without being in competition with it. Chris Appleton has previously explained that blonde on brown skin looks best when there is contrast, not clash, and this mantra always runs through my mind when I select a shade like this.
In some cases, fall does not mean darker, it simply means softer and this color is the representation of this quiet luxe.
Low Root Shadow Wheat Blonde
This wheat blonde is the adult version of the beach blonde of summer, but with a shadow root, which makes it more down-to-earth, both literally and figuratively. It is sandy smooth and flatter golden-brown undertones and softens darker skin, especially when styled in those full, carefree waves.
This tone is fantastic to any person who desires that cool-but-balanced sound. However, this type of mixed contrast has to be maintained. I would recommend the dpHUE Root Touch-Up Spray to extend the time between appointments and Olaplex No.3 to maintain the bonds during seasonal dryness.
I love the fact that it is so friendly. It is refined, all right, and yet it is wearable. I have gone to this color prior to a business trip, and I felt like all of my outfits (blazers, oversized knits, etc.) were 30% more elevated. No exaggeration.
This appearance is similar to a dirty chai latte as opposed to pumpkin spice. It is still festive, it is still fall, but a bit more surprising.
Lush Volume Balayage Toffee Melt
It is a hair dessert in the fall. Consider creamy espresso roots that flow into toffee, honey and a bit of caramel strips. These are natural and luxurious warm neutral blends on deeper skin. The voluminous style and bouncy finish add even more drama (in the best way possible).
If you’re already brunette, this is a minimal-risk, high-impact shift. I prefer to treat tones such as this with Amika Vault Color-Lock Shampoo- it keeps the depth without making things heavy. And to be quite honest, it is a fantastic wash-and-go color because the dimension speaks for itself.
This hair brings me back to the old Instagram glam to wearable. I recall an instance when I saw something like this on a friend at a rooftop dinner last October, and she received compliments by every single person we crossed. You want a colour of that sort.
And the extra? It is very easy to grow-out. It disappears with grace, that is, you will have fewer appointments and more cozy weekends.
Caramel Blonde Luxe Waves Face Frame
It is show-stopping yet still classy, and this caramel blonde look is the thing to have. The color is a deep brunette base that shifts into golden caramel with the perfect pop around the face. These types of halo lights are very flattering on deeper skin and they give you the glow where you want it.
What really makes it shine is the waves here. To maintain, I would recommend a sulfate-free gloss treatment such as Kristin Ess Signature Hair Gloss, which enhances tone and makes your hair even silkier than you might imagine with a drugstore product.
It has a touch of old-school glamour, but of the type that fits on a contemporary canvas. I recall this shade in a shoot that was done with soft satins and layered gold jewelry and it simply worked. The entire atmosphere was unified yet unambitious.
If you’re someone who wants lightness but not full-blonde commitment, this is the moment. Hot, sexy, classic.
Brunette Toasted Highlights Espresso
This is an all-time classic-dark espresso brown with light, toasted mocha tones throughout the front and mid-lengths. It is the type of color that adds natural texture and depth without being too warm or too cool, which is important when it comes to deeper skin tones that are already warm.
This is a high-level and approachable style. The greatest thing? It does well even on days when you are not washing it. To hydrate without weighing things down, I would use Mizani 25 Miracle Milk, and I would use a light spray of IGK Good Behavior Spirulina Protein Spray before blow drying to keep that bounce.
I even got this tone done once as fall family pictures- yep, that kind of old fashioned feel. The lushness that is trapped in each frame, particularly in outdoor light through turning trees. It is straightforward in the most excellent manner.
And when you want to be less in-your-face and more payoff, this color is your secret weapon. A gentle change that says, I did it but I did not make a fuss.
Toast Wheat Blonde Bob Dimension
This multidimensional blonde bob is creamy and not too cool or warm, which is why it is such a surprise success on deep skin tones, particularly when worn with a fall wardrobe. It has that soft wheat foundation with sandy and ash blonde streaks that create an appearance of plenitude. Throw in the blunt-but-textured chop and you have a color that comes off as high end without being pretentious.
This shorter cut will need to be trimmed more often, particularly when you want to maintain the ends sharp and the shape strong. I prefer Olaplex No. 6 Bond Smoother to style my hair as it moisturizes and smooths without destroying volume. And on the blonde shades, such as this, the purple toning masks are useful without being excessive. Only once every two weeks is necessary.
