Burgundy Plum Layers with Bangs
We are going a bit further with this one, a deep brunette base with strong burgundy and plum undertones, especially in the mid-lengths and ends. The bangs are neat and gentle, sweeping over the brows, and the layers provide fluidity and shape. It’s bold, it’s romantic, it’s a little mysterious.
When you go this deep, stick to a color-safe regimen. I rely on the Virtue Recovery Shampoo Mask- this is good to maintain intensity and shine.
I have read a celebrity colorist suggest plum shades on warmer skin tones as they contrast well enough to make your skin look good without looking sallow. They were right.
Fall isn’t only about cozy shades. Sometimes it’s about a bit of drama in a trench coat—and this delivers exactly that.
Golden Auburn Blowout
A really sun-kissed auburn color with golden undertones that are almost toffee. The hair is thick, brushed back and has a round blowout effect that makes it move and have a soft touch. You can feel the warmth of caramel highlights through the mid-lengths, and there’s something effortlessly ’90s about the whole silhouette.
Volume is key here—don’t skimp on a good mousse. I prefer Oribe Grandiose because it has density and hold without stiffness.
I have always felt that auburn with golden highlights makes my eyes pop more and gives me that natural blush. When the trees turn, this shade is like it was torn out of the leaves.
Want to keep it breezy? Pin it behind one ear, apply some gold shimmer, and you are ready to go to any fall plan.
Layered Espresso Bob with Tousled Volume
This is a short layered bob with a dramatic twist to traditional structure, a deep and luminous brunette base. The haircut is soft and feathered with swoopy bangs, which makes it full but not bulky. The general feel is contemporary Parisian, not too refined, but not too casual either, the right amount of undone. It fits the jawline like a glove and highlights warm undertones in the skin.
With a style such as this, I will always turn to dry texture sprays, particularly the R+Co Trophy. It adds volume and shape without disrupting the thickness of dark brown hair. I would also suggest a violet-free shampoo to keep the richness without cool shift by mistake.
There’s something incredibly grounded about this cut and color. I used to have something like that once and I wore it in a very rainy fall and the way it kept its shape? A total lifesaver. There are times when you want your hair to stay put–this one does.
It is stunning with turtlenecks and chokers, and you can imagine candlelit evenings, fresh air, and a bit of mystery.
Velvety Crimson Curls with Feminine Edge
Here, we’re talking bold, unapologetic red. The color is a deep burgundy shade with high-gloss dimension and deep plum shadows in the curl definition. The curls are specific and romantic yet edgy due to the smooth curtain bangs and assertive length. It is the color that makes your skin glow even on gray November mornings.
You will need a moisturizing color-safe shampoo- Joico K-PAK Color Therapy is my favorite to use to keep the color bright and hydrated. A weekly mask will assist in keeping that velvet shine that makes this shade unique.
Celeb colorist Guy Tang has said that real red is all about confidence, it is not a shade, it is a personality change. I believe that. Whenever I have gone a little deeper into the reds, I have found that people literally stop to comment on it.
Combine it with a plain black top and minimal accessories and leave the hair to speak.
Glossy Black Lob with Clean Bangs
It is a cool, crisp weather classic- a silky lob with the darkest brunette shade, a sharp fringe and a light inward curve at the ends. It’s got that ‘clean-girl in autumn’ look but dialed up for drama. The shine is non-greasy and the cut is minimalist perfection with a retro hint.
Refresh the gloss using a silicone-free serum- Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Oil is a lightweight hydrating serum that gives shine. And blow dry with a boar-bristle brush to get that smooth finish.
I personally prefer this on warmer complexions as it gives definition and contrast. It is an amazing palette cleanser in case you have experimented with lighter colors throughout the summer and want to reset.
The structure and color combined say “put-together,” even on mornings when you’re barely functioning—ideal for busy fall routines.
Soft Mulberry Fringe with Long Layers
This appearance takes the darker aspect of red, into the soft mulberry realm with long curtain layers and a clean full fringe. The general outline is airy and fresh, with that just right fullness that is still in motion. It is warm and earthy, the color of dried wine leaves or apple skins in late October.
This shade needs tone support. I prefer the Maria Nila Luminous Colour Conditioner to maintain depth and softness in balance. Plus, it’s sulfate-free and vegan—bonus.
When I wear mulberry-like colors, I always feel that my complexion is more refined, even without makeup. It goes well with the natural golden color in my skin.
It is this type of hair that is comfortable with a cup of tea and chunky knits but glamorous with a statement lip and a structured jacket. Versatility in a single tone.
