Fall hair colors are here and let us just say this—if your hair is not giving autumn energy, it might be time to hit refresh. The leaves are turning, the air is getting crisp, and your hair deserves to join the seasonal glow up. Whether you are leaning into rich reds, soft caramel blends, or bold burgundy vibes, this season is all about cozy confidence.
There is something magical about switching things up when the weather cools down. Think deep tones that pair perfectly with oversized sweaters, hot lattes, and moody playlists. Fall hair colors are not just a trend—they are a whole mood.
Copper and Auburn Brilliance
There is a reason copper tones come back stronger every fall. These shades reflect light like autumn leaves in golden hour. From soft strawberry undertones to full-on auburn drama, these shades flatter every skin tone and bring warmth to your entire look. Just picture yourself walking through a pumpkin patch with those fiery curls bouncing. Instant main character energy.

Chocolate Brown with Cinnamon Ribbons
Brunette girls, this one is for you. If you want dimension without going too bold, adding warm cinnamon or chestnut highlights to a deep chocolate base is your go-to move. It adds life, shine, and softness that feels luxurious but effortless. It is like your favorite fall drink—but for your hair.
Blonde with a Buttery Twist
If you are blonde and not ready to go dark, soften things with a honey or butter-toned refresh. It warms up your summer blonde without taking away your light. Perfect for transitioning into cooler months without losing that golden girl glow.
Bold Burgundy and Wine Shades
This one’s for the baddies. Deep reds, wine tones, and maroon blends scream confidence. Whether you go full cherry cola or dip into eggplant tones, these fall hair colors pack a punch and photograph like a dream. Just imagine catching your reflection with that dramatic shine and knowing you did that.

Feeling playful? Peekaboo colors are back and fall is the perfect time to sneak in a little surprise color. Think golden copper under dark layers or warm rose hues peeking out of a sleek bob. It is fun, it is flirty, and it is super easy to grow out if you decide to switch things up again by winter.
Glossy Finish is a Must
No matter which shade you choose, a glossy finish brings it all together. Shine makes those fall hair colors pop in the best way. Whether you opt for a professional glaze or a DIY at-home gloss treatment, make it part of your routine.
Real Talk: Maintenance Tips
Fall can be dry, and your hair color needs some extra love.
- Use sulfate free shampoo to keep that pigment from fading too fast.
- Deep condition weekly because moisture is your bestie.
- Avoid hot water washes. Keep it lukewarm to protect your color.
- Throw on a satin bonnet or use a silk pillowcase. Color fades faster on rough fabric.
If you are thinking of changing up your look this fall, lean into what feels good. Go bold if that excites you. Go subtle if you want low-key glam. The right hair color can boost your confidence like nothing else. And let us be honest, nothing says “new season new me” quite like a fresh dye job.
