Blondes Should Play With Caramel Or Butterscotch Tones
Blondes are also going a bit darker this fall, as lowlights and caramel tones help take your pre-existing color down a notch. "For blondes, lowlights in caramel and butterscotch shades help deepen up a look, and add dimension for the transition out of summer,"says L'Oreal Professionnel Artist, Johnny Ramirez.

Toning down your blonde has the added benefit of being more flattering and wearable, since extreme platinum shades tend to look harsh on certain skin tones. Ramirez advises that warmer skin tones should choose more neutral shades, while cooler tones should opt for butterscotch colors that enhance their eye color.

"If you have a warmer skin tone, a neutral cool brown shade with amber-gold highlights would best complement your complexion," adds Ramirez. "Warmer caramel and butterscotch colors work best for cooler skin tones and eye colors. Having this contrast in color combinations helps to highlight both your features, resulting in a look that isn't washed out or monochromatic."

Cooler Blondes Should Try Butterscotch Tones
Butterscotch shades help take your blonde down a notch, giving you gorgeous deep honey color that's almost like amber. Have your colorist use a toner or a gloss to give your blonde that golden blonde effect. However, try to keep your root on the darker side, as it helps your overall result appear more natural.

Warm and Deep Blondes Should Try Amber Gold Highlights
Warmer and deep tones should pair a neutral brown base with golden amber highlights in order to get a blonde color result that looks multi-dimensional. This also gives your complexion a glowing boost, while still keeping your eyes and brows prominent.

Redheads Should Go for Copper and Grenadine Shades
Strawberry blonde may have been big for summer, but redheads should think about indulging in deeper coppery and grenadine shades this fall, especially since they keep your red looking vibrant and bright. Use a hair painting technique like balayage to complete this look, which will give your color a multi-dimensional effect that helps it pop.

"Three dimensional hair color is a must for fall, and there are amazing new toners and semi-permanent hair colors available that will give your hair a hint of red, but help maintain those gorgeous highlights in your hair," says celebrity colorist Deycke Heidorn."Try a balayage in more vibrant red shades like grenadine." To keep your red looking full of life, Heidorn says that maintenance at home is key. Investing in color-protecting products, will prevent your color from looking dull and lifeless. Also recommended: color-depositing shampoo, like Davines Alchemic Shampoo Red.

Fair Redheads Should Keep Roots Dark With Highlights
Redheads with sun freckles should keep their color on the lighter side, as some dark red shades are too harsh on your complexion. To flatter your eye color and your complexion perfectly, Heidorn recommends going for a darker root and strawberry golden highlights.
