The Best Hair Colors for Fall 2019
Fall’s new hair colors are like the changing leaves; you can always count on a new crop to emerge every season. Lately, we’re seeing colorists get extra innovative with fresh techniques and head-turning updates on familiar colors. It’s not always the shades themselves that catch our attention first, though. The names too have become increasingly, well, thirsty.
Late summer brought us “cold brew hair“—as in the multi-hued shade of brown you get when you pour milk into your coffee—while “root beer hair” and “espresso brunette” were the front-runners for 2018. Even “Lacroix hair” bubbled its way up into our hair-color lexicon.
It’s a recipe we’ve seen time and time again. Name a hair color after a dessert or drink, and suddenly blonde balayage becomes the much more appealing-sounding (or absurd, depending on your taste) “blonde roast hair.” But after careful inspection, we believe it’s not all social media gimmick. As ridiculous as it might seem to sit in your colorists chair and request “s’mores hair,” these names serve to call out some subtle tricks and innovative techniques you might otherwise miss. While “dark roast hair” and “cold-brew color” might just look like brunette to some, there’s more nuance than you might think at first glance. Here, we’re bringing you the best of these colors for fall, with options for every shade of blonde, brunette, redhead, and everything in between. Order up.
