There's sadly no way for me to stop asking my stylist to give me blonde hair every six months (and to be told no, every six months) but at least I can still pine after celebrities and their ever-changing hair colors. As the seasons change, I think we'll all be getting the urge to book a salon appointment and change things up. Before you know it, you'll be swapping out sarongs for sweaters, sandals for duck boots, so why not add a little dye touch-up to the list? Whether you want to mimic the Fall mood on your head–like say, go super dark or red for Thanksgiving–or you can to brighten up a cold season–hello, sunkissed!–we've assembled a master list for you. To help you get a jump start on your new colorway, we asked New York City colorist Stephanie Brown for her best bets for fall. From Bey-inspired honey browns to The Megan Rapinoe™, your next dye job awaits.

Truly Dark

Doesn't cold weather make you feel sultry and a little mysterious? Think dark–not blue-black, but nothing sunkissed. A warmer undertone helps the look feel less like a wig and more like a new attitude, and will help avoid that awful, "Oh you dyed your hair" conversations.

Cinnamon Ombré

The world's most beautiful human wears this style which means you, too, should try the warm brunette look. Brown recommends medium brunettes add a few cinnamon ombré pieces. "You don’t want to do too many because you don’t want hair to look brassy so just a few pops of that warm color brighten up your face," says Brown. "It adds dimension to make hair look fuller and shinier."

"For dark, almost-black brunettes, go with an almost gold undertone for the hair," says Brown. Brown warns you to be careful to not go eggplant, which is more of a purple. It's best to make sure your colorist doesn’t add red to the hair.
