After spending a long hot summer outdoors, your hair is ready for a break when autumn rolls around. One of the first thoughts people have when they look in the mirror is dyeing their hair a darker color. This could be because the sun has made their hair lighter than they would have liked or simply because a change is needed. Making any kind of change requires an evaluation of your quality hair care routine to ensure you get the results you desire. Here are some tips for getting your hair ready for an autumn color so you’ll love your end result.

One of the autumn trends we will see this year is adding color to the roots. This darker shade may give off the appearance of your hair growing out, but the best stylists can make your hair appear to have more depth and transition the hair seamlessly. Some people also choose hair extensions to add another dimension to their hair. However, root shades will be the popular trend this fall.

Slowly Darken Your Hair

If you’re considering dyeing your hair a darker color completely, go with a more subtle change at first to make sure you will like it. The first time you make a significant change like this to your hair can be shocking and rarely looks how you envisioned it. That doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a bad look, but it could just be different than what you pictured. So if you have a certain darkness in mind, start with a lower shade and work your way up.

Consider Your Skin Complexion

Have you ever changed your hair in any way only to realize it looks nothing like what you thought it would? One of the reasons why this could be is because of your skin complexion. If you have a cool skin tone, dark hair colors may not look the best. You can experiment with different looks and not make a permanent change by trying different color hair extensions. Clip them in and see how they look until you settle on the right color for your hair.

Any Change Involves Great Hair Care

Once you make the decision and color your hair, the first product to invest in is a great sulfate free shampoo and conditioner. This will help you keep your hair clean and healthy without making the color fade quicker. Dyeing your hair could cause some damage to it as well, so your stylist may recommend other products to retain the natural oils in the hair and ensure it remains healthy.
