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.

Warm and darker tones should look for intense reds that help frame your face. Heidorn recommends placing dark grenadine shades at the roots. To offset your dark root, your colorist should then create a color melt into copper and fiery red tones. The combination of these red shades will create contrast against your dark lashes and eyebrows.

For those who want a striking yet low maintenance look, shadow roots is a hair color trend for fall that gives you a gorgeous, ombre-like effect. Matrix Artistic Director George Papanikolas says this look is most seen on blondes, as celebs like Ciara and Khloe Kardashian have sported a deeper root with bright blonde highlights.

The trick, he says, is to keep your roots as soft as possible, as you want the blend between the root and highlights to look natural and seamless.

"You don't want to have a hard line like you haven't been the salon," he adds.

The key concept for fair blondes is to remember is that you want to create a shadow root that ultimately looks natural. Creating contrast at your root requires your colorist to keep the color a soft brown. Anything darker than a soft chocolate would look harsh against icy blonde strands, making it look like you skipped a few root touch up appointments.

While deep and warmer tones can pull off a much darker root, you still want to make sure your highlights and your roots naturally fade into each other to avoid an unflattering ombre-like appearance.
