How to transition from light summer hair to a richer fall colour

It’s fall, a great new season and time for a visit to your favourite hair colour salon. Vancouver trends this year favour warmer colours overall so there’s something for everyone whether you're blonde, a redhead, brunette, or any colour in between. Transitioning colours for fall features popular hair colouring techniques including highlights, lowlights, hand-painted balayage and ombre colour-fades.

Highlights

Highlights work especially well for those with darker hair who want a striking contrast. Think deep auburn with toffee highlights, or dark brown with rich plum, pumpkin or copper throughout. If you prefer to make a statement with bold colour changes highlights are for you.

Lowlights

Lowlights weave darker colours through your hair which helps to deepen the colour and add richness. It’s a more subtle change than highlighting. Highlights and lowlights can both be added to hair to create a more complex and beautifully blended look.

Balayage

Balayage is one of the best, long-lasting, low maintenance choices for subtly transitioning from light summer hair to a richer fall colour. Your chosen colour is hand-painted on by one of our expert hair colourists in Kitsilano starting a short distance from the roots. The look allows for a more natural-looking colour change and grow-out.

Ombre

Ombre hair colouring is great for getting back to darker roots that fade into softer, lighter colours towards the ends. It’s a stunning, lower-maintenance choice that features a more natural grow-out.

Trends and variety aren’t the only reasons to refresh your hair colour. Over the summer, UV rays damage hair, fading colour–especially reds–and sapping it of moisture. Not only that, your skin tone changes in the fall as well, when sun-kissed cheeks start to lighten. What was a perfect hair colour for your skin tone over the summer, now needs to shift to match your new, emerging skin tone. So, for example, if you prefer blonde tones, you might consider transitioning from platinum or ash blonde to caramel or honey blonde. Strawberry blonde wonderfully transitions to rose blonde.

Whether you have light, medium or dark hair, cool tones to warm tones is what fall hair colour is all about. See our expert hair colourists in our Kitsilano hair colour salon for help finding your fall colour.
