The arrival of autumn is the perfect time to refresh your hair cut and color. After a summer of natural sunshine, hair often feels dull. While redhead shades and Bardot blondes are trending, brunettes have stunning options too. Skip the drastic red and embrace "warm espresso"—a cozy, delicate hue reminiscent of coffee beans with warm copper highlights that flatter all skin tones.
In Byrdie magazine, celebrity hairstylist George Papanikolas shares expert insight: "Highlights add shine and texture to the hair." For those ready to take the plunge, he recommends asking your colorist for a dark base that complements your skin tone, plus subtle highlights just two shades lighter. Brunettes benefit most with a "less is more" approach: keep the overall base darker for depth, letting highlights subtly accentuate your cut.
