These 7 Autumn Hair Colour Trends Are Making Us Want To Book In ASAP

There’s nothing like a seasonal switch-up to make you consider a hair makeover. And autumn is all about colour. 

Whether you like to change with the leaves and lean towards warmer, richer shades (think burgundies and red undertones) or prefer to keep things cool and classic so you can play it all up with a vampy lip, there really is no right or wrong.

That’s one of the best things about the in-between seasons – they’re versatile. It’s a great chance to dip your toe in a hair trend you’ve been dying to try but never felt it was the right time.

And far as the latest autumn hair colour trends go, it’s going to be hard to resist some of the shades cropping up this season…

These are the best autumn hair colour trends for 2021


Smokey beige

The signature style of colour wizard Peter Thomsen, this smokey beige blend eliminates the tough choice between blonde and brunette. The lived-in look makes regrowth less of a problem too, so you can enjoy your new colour for the entirety of the season.

Natural black

Block colours are back, especially when paired with a blunt cut. If you’re blessed with naturally dark or black hair, consider cutting off any lightened ends and embrace your all-over shade. If you’re looking to achieve this through DIY colouring, pay attention to the undertones of your dye to get the most natural results. Blue-based blacks will give you a cooler colour whereas red-brown undertone blacks will be warmer. 

Try: Clairol Nice ‘N Easy in 2 Black and Schwarzkopf LIVE Colour in Deep Black

Blush pink

There’s something about a sunset shade of pink and autumn that just feels right. We’ve been obsessed with rose gold hair for years now and a slightly warmer version is our pick for the season.

Try: Schwarzkopf LIVE Colour Metallic – Rose Gold and Scott Cornwall Colour Restore Candy

Glorious grey

If you’ve ever wondered what your hair would look like if you stopped colouring it, consider this your sign to see what happens. We’re loving all the amazing different shades, streaks and tones of grey coming from the silver hair movement. You could even speed up the process with a colour stripper… just sayin’.

Try: Colourless Max Condition

Caramilk

Much like the Easter eggs we’ve been devouring since January, the Caramilk hair colour takes it as close to blonde as possible, without actually reaching full white chocolate. It’s a sensational in-between shade that looks as delicious as it sounds.

Jessica Rabbit red

Do it! Do it! Do it! A vibrant copper moment couldn’t be more perfect for autumn. Imagine it flowing over your shoulders from under a beanie, tied up effortlessly with a hair scarf, and your usual messy bun looking like a runway masterpiece. If you’re lucky to fall naturally on the lighter side of the hair spectrum, a fiery coat of colour would certainly make a lively statement. 

Maintain it with: John Frieda Radiant Red® Red Boosting Shampoo and Conditioner

Barely-there balayage

Balayage has had many reinventions over the years. And if you blink you almost might miss the latest. With just a subtle touch of sun kissed highlights at the very ends of the hair, barely-there balayage is made for when the sun hits, casting a glow that flatters any shade of brunette. We particularly love it on curly and textured hair types.

  1. I don't know why people feel the need to change their hair with seasons, a sunkissed look for summer is nice, but if you have found the right colour then you will look good all year round.
