With the new autumn season comes new drink orders, footwear choices, makeup, and, of course, hair-color options. The color chameleons out there can relate: Fall would be way less fun without some fresh new hues to choose from. As we mourn the (naturally or not-so-naturally-acquired) strands we wore for the last few months, there's nothing like a new slate of celebrity inspiration to get us excited for a new aesthetic.

Fall 2021 is different, of course — we're still in the throes of a pandemic, which means being a little more decisive and strategic about what kind of dye job to get. Though most places are fully opened back up, plenty of people are still nervous to make too many trips to the salon. This season, the beauty world is all about hues that bring joy and are easy to maintain at home.

If you're thinking of switching up your hair color and want to know what's trending, you came to the right place. See the shades top colorists are predicting to be all the rage this fall.

Chocolate Brown
Kate Reid, a Sydney, Australia-based colorist is loving this cool-toned chocolate shade for fall. "Ask your colorist for a cool chocolate reflect that won't fade brassy," she says. "This could be deeper on the new growth area and lighter though the mid-lengths and ends to create even more dimension." The result is shiny and healthy-looking, something she says her clients look for.
