Just as your hair finally reaches a Serena van der Woodsen shade of gold, the summer is ending as quickly as it started. Our sun-kissed tans have quickly faded and colder days inevitably lie ahead. And what welcomes change more than switching up your ‘do? L’OFFICIEL gives you celebrity-approved fall hair inspiration. From transitioning your summer highlights into an autumn-appropriate blonde or making a switch to the dark(er) side, your hair this fall is sure to be nothing less than A-list-approved.
Rich Chocolate
Although recently concealed under wraps, Kim Kardashian is back to her dark roots and just in time to welcome fall. Whether pulled up into a 75-inch Met Gala pony or cascading with curls, Kardashian’s nearly-black locks are an iconic nod to the early Keeping Up with the Kardashian days. The seamless swatch is blended from the root through the ends with zero highlighting and little variation. Sleek, monochromatic hair is not for the faint of heart, but when done correctly, makes the ultimate fall statement. It comes as no surprise that celebrities like Dua Lipa and Emily Ratajkowski have said goodbye to highlights and joined the dark side for fall.
Smokey Blonde
With salons closed for the majority of 2020, many of our favorite blondes made the executive decision to switch back to their natural roots. Hailey Bieber shocked the internet by taking to the Met Gala red carpet as a smokey brunette. Bieber admits she seized the opportunity over quarantine to focus on keeping her hair healthy and ditched the baggage of blonde hair. Low Maintenace and natural, dark roots with subtle golden face framing is a favorite look for fall. Natural shades matched with buttery highlights will allow for less upkeep but an equally as flattering fall color.
Coppery Gold
"Farm-mom" Gigi Hadid is sporting one of our favorite fall-hair colors this season. The model has recently been rocking ashy-auburn waves courtesy of hairstylist Laura Polko. Polko is also the brains behind Met Gala host Emma Chamberlain’s coppery '60's lob. Hadid and Chamberlain’s coppery undertones are the perfect touch of warmth to accompany warm browns and colder months ahead.
Warm Chestnut
New man, new hair. Jennifer Lopez is ultimately killing the game as of recently. Celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton has been working with J-Lo for years, even before the return of Bennifer. Throughout their partnership, there isn't a buttery brunette shade they haven't nailed. One of our favorite autumn 'do's is J-Lo's dimensional chestnut brown masterpiece. Light pieces frame the face adding warmth, while toffee lowlights add dimension and shine. Whether wrapped up under an Indian Jones hat or sleek and straight on the set of her recent Coach campaign, Lopez's chestnut-kissed hair is the perfect fall hue.
Rooted Buttery-Blonde
Celebrity hairstylist Harry Josh has officially nailed the art of transitioning summer blonde into the cooler months. Josh’s youthful blonde is a dimensional masterpiece and longtime love of models Candice Swanepoel and Karlie Kloss. The captivating blonde highlights summer sunshine without requiring heavy upkeep. Deeply smudged with dark roots, sun-kissed highlights transition to frame the face and cast warmth. Layers of rich browns and buttery golds create the perfect autumn blonde.
