Fall hair color trends with formulas
There’s something about the changing seasons that makes clients eager to change up their look. Fall hair color trends have become a thing for exactly that reason. Typically named for autumnal treats like “pumpkin spice” or “caramel apple”, traditional fall colors are typically deeper and richer than shades that are popular in the warmer months.
To help you get ahead of the autumnal color curve this year, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite fall color formulas from milk_shake colorists across North America.

Fall Copper Hair color
Copper hair is having a moment! While deeper ruby reds have traditionally been a go-to for fall, this year we are seeing a trend towards reds that are brighter and more orange. These three takes on copper should cover just about every client that comes in requesting this look. Copper Look #1: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CjqESuGvA1N/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link @ginastyles_4u Gina used a foilayage technique at her client’s part: 8.43/CG & 8.3/G +10 Vol medium weave alternating foils with 7.4/C & 6.4/C + squirt of 6.6/R +5 Vol using a thin slice / weave. Her client had previous blonde highlights in between, which she left as-is. Finally, Gina used Lifestyling Amazing spray to finish and style Copper Look #2: https://www.instagram.com/p/CjgbUnavWmq/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link @latenighthair1 Used the GLOSS:, 35g of 6.4/C and 8g 6.6/R. Her client’s natural color is a match to a 7.3/G.

The traditional warm, butter blonde still reigns for fall. Those clients who went lighter and brighter in summer tend to tone things down a bit as the temperature drops. Lately we’ve been noticing a growing number of icy, wintery blonde requests being thrown into the mix. Blonde Look #1: https://www.instagram.com/p/CiimAPaPBUw/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link @hairbytlu_fringe Tiffany used baby lights technique with Decologic Level 9 lightener. She pre-toned with Silver Shine Light Shampoo and then toned with The Gloss 9.03/NG (20g) 10.81/BA (20g) with (40g) GLOSS Activator.
