Hair Color Ideas for Fall
Hair color ideas for fall are totally opposite to hair color ideas for summer. For summer bright chunky highlights for a sun kissed look are opted. Chunky which are thick hair highlights of mostly gold or other bright shades on a base of dark hair color, stand out well and thus give a beautiful summer look. However, when it comes to choosing new hair color for fall, you need to tone it down. This is because during fall, people tend to stay indoors and the exposure of hair to the sunlight is less.

For fall season, lowlights or skinny streaks of a subtle color look great. Or both these ideas can be used to create a beautiful textured hair look. Given below, are guidelines that will help you to pick best hair color for fall season.

Choosing the Right Hair Color for You
Before selecting any hair color ideas, you need to figure out which category you belong to, is it cool or warm. As certain hair color shades suit people with certain skin tones and eye color. A mismatch can give you a hair coloring disaster, and make your face look sickly or pale.
People who belong to the cool category have skin tones which can be pale complexion with pink undertones or no color, olive complexion, bronze or brown complexion after tanning, medium complexion with golden undertones, medium complexion with light pink color in the cheeks or no color, or dark brown complexion. The eye color can be blackish brown, grayish blue, dark brown, dark blue, or hazel colored with light flecks. Such people look great with shiny raven black, and cool shades of mink and icy white. People who belong to the cool category should avoid yellow, red, bronze, or blonde hair shades when coloring their hair. They can go with highlights of wheat, ash or honey shade.
People who belong to the warm category can have a complexion which can be brown skin tone, with pink or golden undertones, ruddy complexion, pale complexion with peach or golden undertones, or a freckled complexion. The eye color can be golden brown, greenish blue, green, or hazel colored with brown or golden flecks. Such people look great with warm and dark brown shades as hair base color. Golder and chestnut brown shades also great. Such people need to avoid beige or ash shades. Base hair color of reddish orange or shiny blonde also looks great. The hair highlights can be copper, golden brown, or of gold shades. This was about cool and warm category, now let us look at the various hair color trends for fall.
Creating the Fall Look
To create the fall look, either you can opt for lowlights or for skinny streaks, or you can use both. When it comes to hair lowlights for hair the rule is that you need to select hair color which is 2-3 times darker than your base hair color. As these are done near the base of the hair. When it comes to highlights, the rule is to select a hair color which is 2-3 times lighter than your base hair color.
So, pick a nice dark color if you want lowlights. Your hair will look great when you part it, or tie it in an updo. This will give a subtle colored look, and perfect for fall time. However, if you want a more merged and textured hair look then mix these two hair color trends. Then pick a hair color lighter than your base hair color and get loads of skinny streaks in your hair. To get the fall look, it is advisable you let the stylist work on your hair, rather than using a home hair coloring kit.
