"Babylights are very fine highlights that are one to one-and-a-half shades lighter than your natural hair," says de Souza. "They blend in beautifully with your natural color, giving the illusion of those natural highlights that we used to get when we were kids." You know, the sunkissed kind you had when you were 10 years old after a summer of running around outside.

The great thing about this fall hair color is that it's subtle, customizable and can work with any hair color. As for the process, it can be somewhat painstaking. Babylights require detailed handiwork, involving the application of fine highlights in closely placed foils. So, you're looking at anywhere from two to four hours in the salon.

Luckily, upkeep is minimal, especially if you stay closer to your natural color. De Souza says while some of his clients come in for touchups every eight to twelve weeks, others go even longer. "I gave Mila Kunis this look to break up and soften her dark natural color, and she sees me two times a year max," he says.

"For autumn and winter, expect to see a darker red palette becoming popular," forecasts Garcia. If you're looking for a bold, high-fashion switch-up, try a vibrant oxblood shade. (Think: The color of Boston Baked Beans candy).

"Not everyone can pull off such a bold look -- the client must be edgy," says de Souza. "But on the right person, it can look phenomenal." On how to achieve the look, de Souza says that if the starting point is natural hair, it might as simple as getting a single-process color. For a more vibrant result, it might take two. "If the client has colored hair already, and if it's darker than the shade desired, a removal session will have to be done," he explains. "It all depends on the client's starting point."

The downside to such a vibrant, unnatural red is that it requires a bigger time commitment. "It's a high-risk fade color, so upkeep may be more frequent," explains Woods. Clients who go oxblood should be prepared to stop by the salon every three to four weeks for a hair gloss. This will keep the bold fall hair color looking "fresh and intense," says de Souza.
