If You're a Golden Blonde, Try Rose Gold
You don't need to have white-blonde hair to play with pink; rose gold hair is one of the hottest hair colors of the moment (see: Kylie Jenner). The trend has inspired a variety of interpretations, from classic strawberry blonde to cotton-candy pink and everything in between.

The fair-haired can achieve a natural rose gold with an in-salon or DIY toner. "Put a strawberry blonde wash over your golden blonde," says Janelle Chaplin, stylist and global creative director for O&M. "This will look stunning for fall."

You can get the look at home with a pink or red toning conditioner. "Try a sheer conditioning mask to create an all-over blush tone," Nawrot says. "Modify your timing to five minutes for soft color, or 10 to 15 minutes for bold color."

If You're a Brunette, Try Caramel Sombré
Many of fall's trendiest hair colors have an ashy base, but cool-toned hair doesn't suit everyone. For brunettes with warm, yellow-toned complexions, caramel sombré is the way to go.

Sombré -- or "soft ombré" -- is the more modern version of ombré hair color, with subtle highlights placed down the length of the hair. "Sombré is the perfect way to embrace fall's warm tones," says Cunningham. "My client Jessica Biel carries this look so well with her rich base color and warm, golden highlights down the length of the hair."

In addition to being on-trend and flattering, sombré is incredibly low-maintenance. Because these highlights aren't rooted, you can easily go three months or more between touch-ups. Ask your stylist for caramel-colored balayage highlights, focusing on the area around your face, says Potempa.
