Burnt Sienna Glam Waves
This flowing, gentle wave of chocolate auburn and a hint of copper is providing full-blown fall fantasy. It is warm in the most delicious manner, like turning leaves and cinnamon-spiced everything. This color is a gorgeous mixture of richness and brightness that immediately brightens your complexion on women with fair warm or medium skin. The styling, its soft glamour, gives an additional fluidity to the appearance.
Color like this deserves love. I recommend alternating between a deep-conditioning mask like Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair! and a weekly gloss refresh in a red/copper tone. Heat tools can dull this color faster than you’d expect, so always shield with thermal protectants.
Personally, it is one of those colors that receive compliments on the way. Strangers ask about it in the grocery line. Friends save it to their “next hair” folder. It’s a color that gives back.
It is also a perfect transition in case you are a brunette all your life and you are tempted to become red. This shade gives you warmth without the pressure.
Retro Chocolate Barrel Curls
This high chocolate brown look is a combination of old Hollywood and new magic. The style is both old fashioned and madly modern with the waves carved and the finish smoothed. The tone is a flawless combination of undertone brown and mocha, which brings out the golden tones in warm skin tone deep autumn types, and structure in rounder faces. There’s elegance here—but also just enough edge.
To maintain curls such as this in a perfect condition, I apply a light lacquer such as Kenra Volume Spray 25, which offers a strong hold but not crispy. Wrapping silk overnight will also keep the shape, particularly when your strands are difficult to hold curl.
This shade is so wearable-I have always considered it as the sophisticated sister of natural brunette. Not quite as expected. A little cooler. A little glossier.
The wave shape of the drama contributes even more to the tone. Wish to make a statement at a fall event without being neon or bleach? This is the one.
Beachy Charcoal Brown
This casual, mussed brown is sun-kissed charcoal, which is ideal on olive skin with a darker undertone. The shade is on the border between neutral and rich, with a softened, non-effortful feel that can be complemented with a minimal makeup and fresh skin. It is relaxed and laid back, yet not dull- like the ideal off duty hair color that is still seasonal.
This kind of texture begs for low-maintenance care. I tend to use a curl cream such as Ouai Curl Crme on wet hair and allow it to air dry to get that lived-in look. And then every 2-3 weeks use a purple shampoo just to avoid letting too much brass creep in due to hard water.
I adore the way this color translates in real life, it is simple to grow out, simple to tone, and versatile throughout the seasons. It provides a gentle outline to the face and does not seem stiff or unnatural.
It is perfect when you desire to tell yourself that you have accomplished something without other people realizing that you have visited the salon. It’s real-life glam.
Warm Ginger Straight Perfection
This warm and vivid ginger copper is sheer fall fire. It is edged, clean, and unabashedly refined, and it brings out warm skin tone asian and dark complexions in a way that nothing can. The color is glowing and when it falls on sunlight? Literal warmth radiates. It has that main character vibe but it remains down to earth because of the undertone remaining warm.
Copper can get color-dulled really quickly, so I like to re-apply a color-refreshing gloss like Kristin Ess Signature Gloss in Copper Penny between visits to the salon. And when you are heat styling, then low heat and a lot of shine spray.
This shade feels like the ultimate bold move. It’s not muted or subtle—but that’s exactly the point. It is the most popping when paired with a clean black outfit or bare shoulder.
And in case you have been scrolling Pinterest to find dye ideas that scream, fall but make it fashion, then this is your sign. Make the leap.
Rosewood Fade with Espresso Roots
This pink melt with dark brown roots is serving cozy-chic like never before. The blonde undertone is soft light, which fades into a dusty ros, a dreamy mixture that is fresh and surprising in autumn. The balance is what makes it work on warm skin tone, as it is anchored by the depth of the roots and airy by the warmth of the ends. This shade is particularly compliments medium complexions and gives a beautiful contrast to tone woman with neutral to olive complexions.
I maintain my pink colors with a weekly color-refresh conditioner such as Celeb Luxury Viral Pastel Light Pink. In addition, cold water rinses are used to prolong the tone so that you do not have to re-tone after every two weeks.
I’ve always loved pink for fall—it’s soft rebellion. It tells you that you are playing with color but you have thought it out. It is editorial but casual and with the right makeup and outfit, it is not girlish, it is grown.
This one is pure personality. When you are tired of traditional tones but do not want to lose all the shine, it is your glow-up of the season.
Sunlit Chestnut Smoothing
This is one of those that the woman who prefers dimension without the drama will wear. This brown base with golden chestnut overtone is classic-meets-modern. On warm skin tone asian and tone woman with yellow or peachy undertones, it boosts natural radiance, smooths out angles and gives a lit-within glow. It is subtle yet sculpting and it works on smooth, straight-as-a-pin styles or waves.
Maintenance-wise, it’s a breeze—just a gloss every 5–6 weeks. I suggest Redken Shades EQ in warm gold as a salon re-fresher. Dry shampoo will also prolong the life of this tone, particularly when you need to go longer between washings.
I would term this as the undercover luxe hair color. It whispers wealth. It is the color that you would expect to find in a designer trench, with a glass of iced coffee, and nothing but subtle accessories.
In case you are looking at the hair color that will not demand attention but will still attract compliments due to the warm skin tone, this can be your new trademark.
Copper Flame Curls
Bright, bold, and unapologetically vibrant, this fiery copper red is not for blending in—and that’s what I adore. It falls perfectly in the deep autumn palette, which is to say it looks gorgeous on warm undertone skin that adores golden glow. For fair complexions with hazel eyes, it’s stunning. Throw in a deep side part and a voluminous wave and you have bombshell energy in a snap.
Copper requires some slight additional attention, but it is worth it. To combat fade and dryness I suggest using Joico Color Infuse Red Shampoo every 3 washes and a deep moisturising mask such as Virtue Restorative Treatment once a week.
I’ve seen this color light up rooms—literally. If you’re a red lip girl or live in a wardrobe of earth tones, this is your fall moment. No filter needed.
It is also an excellent method to embrace maximalist hair without losing class. Think confidence with a curled edge.
