Fall Hair Color Trends: Embracing Copper and Red Tones
As leaves transform into brilliant shades of amber and crimson, many people find inspiration in autumn's palette for their hair color. This season, copper and red hair colors are making a stunning comeback, offering warmth and dimension that perfectly complement the fall atmosphere.
At Good Things Come Hair, we've seen how stunning our clients look with the right copper and red tones. These warming colors not only mirror the season's natural beauty but also add a gorgeous glow to your complexion during months when natural sunlight is in short supply.
From subtle strawberry blonde to deep mahogany, these shades offer something for everyone seeking a seasonal refresh.
Choosing Your Perfect Shade of Red
Fall is the perfect time to explore the rich world of red and copper hair colors. When selecting your ideal red or copper tone, consider your:
Skin undertone. Warm copper tones complement golden skin, while cooler burgundy reds flatter pink or neutral undertones.
Natural hair color. Your natural shade influences the processing time and maintenance of your new look.
Eye color. Certain reds can make eye colors pop, like rich auburn bringing out green eyes or bright copper enhancing blue eyes.
Lifestyle and maintenance commitment. Consider maintenance requirements, as reds require touch-ups every 4-6 weeks and special color-safe products.
Previous color treatments. Previous color can affect the coloring process for your new shade. For example, dark box dyes or black hair color may need color correction before achieving vibrant reds.
Desired intensity. We can go subtle or make a statement depending on your vision for your color and your maintenance needs.
Understanding Fall Hair Color Maintenance
Red and copper shades require dedicated maintenance to preserve their vibrancy. These colors are known for fading faster than other hair colors, making proper care essential. Professional touch-ups are usually necessary every six to eight weeks, though this varies based on your chosen shade intensity, hair growth pattern, and maintenance routine.
At-Home Color Protection to Help Red Hair Last
Maintaining vibrant red or copper hair between salon visits requires specific care strategies. Depending on your hair and color, you may need to:
Use color-safe, sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners to prevent premature fading.
Do cold water rinses and use heat-protectant products to maintain your color vibrancy.
Invest in regular deep conditioning treatments to help lock in color while maintaining hair health.
While red and copper shades may require more maintenance than other colors, their stunning impact makes them worth the extra care. These shades create a unique, head-turning look that captures the essence of fall while remaining stylish throughout the year.
Growing Out Your Fall Colors as the Seasons Change
As your color evolves, subtle adjustments can keep it fresh and seasonal. Glossing treatments between full color services help maintain vibrancy while allowing for slight tone adjustments as the seasons change. This flexibility lets you adapt your shade while maintaining your hair's health and beauty.
