Fall Hair Color Ideas 2014

Leave it to Beyoncé to try out what celebrity colorist Rita Hazan is calling the "It" color of the year -- a mix of all-over blonde and brunette, called bronde. Hazan, who is also the founder and owner of Rita Hazan Salon in New York City, says that because Beyoncé's complexion is darker, it's best to "leave darker shades on the top, middle and bottom, and lighten the hair throughout." By doing this, Hazan says, "[you'll] create dimension and keep skin looking warm and glowing during winter months."

In addition to her witty tweets and drool-worthy culinary adventures we stalk on Instagram, Chrissy Teigen's ever-changing hair is another reason we can't get enough of the supermodel. With the help of celebrity colorist Tracey Cunningham, Teigen recently transitioned from ombré to the prettiest, subtle shade of all-over blonde.

The "Scandal" actress debuted a new, sombré style at the end of the summer that we expect to see everywhere this fall. Subtler than last season's ombré trend (subtle ombré, get it?), Washington's dark brown highlights fade seamlessly into her black hair, giving her a naturally lightened look that doesn't look too extreme against her dark skin.

Hudgens recently took to Instagram to show off her new look when she switched up her blonde ombré hair with a vibrant red. Stylist and co-owner of Nine Zero Salon, Riawna Capri used L'Oréal Professionnel INOA hair color to get the multi-dimensional color. If you're not ready for a dye job, Capri suggests investing in some good extensions like Great Lengths by Hair U Wear to keep hair healthy while still playing with bold colors.

When hairstylist Kristin Ess recently chopped Berry's hair into the lob of our dreams, we couldn't help but notice the perfect caramel toned highlights she also debuted.

Ian McCabe, stylist and owner of Ian McCabe Studio, says Berry's color works because it's the right mix of darker tones at the root and lighter tones at the ends. "Having a little depth through the root area balances out the skin tone in order to avoid getting washed out," McCabe says.

We are more excited about the hair color ideas our favorite beauty icons of color have been debuting for fall 2014 than we are about Pumpkin Spice Lattes -- they're that good.

We caught up with celebrity hair stylists Rita Hazan, Riawna Capri and Ian McCabe to discuss the trending celebrity hair colors darker skin tones are going to want to copy this fall.

These recent hair makeovers prove that when it comes to inspiring hair colors for darker skin tones, it's out with the old (so long, harsh ombré), in with the new (hello, sombré) … and everyone's favorite rainbow trend is here to stay.
