Are Icy Blonde Hair Colours On Trend For Autumn

Want to turn heads this autumn? Go icy blonde. While most people reach for warmer tones when the weather cools down, a platinum or silver-blonde shade cuts through the cosy vibes with a bold, high-fashion edge. If you’ve got cool or neutral undertones (and love making a statement), icy blonde could be your perfect match. We’ll help you find the right shade of icy blonde to flatter your skin tone, eye colour, and most importantly, your personal style.

Why it works: It’s sleek, striking, and totally unexpected against darker autumn wardrobes. Just be ready to stay on top of root regrowth to keep it looking flawless.

Pro tip: Use a purple shampoo to keep your blonde bright and banish any brassiness.

Brunette Balayage With Sun-Kissed Highlights

If you’re a brunette who wants to lighten things up without going full blonde, sun-kissed balayage is your perfect autumn update. Think soft ribbons of caramel, honey, and golden tones woven through your natural base, giving your hair that effortless “just back from holiday” glow even as the days get cooler.

Why it works: The warm highlights instantly brighten your complexion while keeping the depth and richness of your brunette shade.

Pro tip: Balayage is super low-maintenance as your colour grows out seamlessly, meaning fewer salon trips during the busy autumn season.

Who it’s for: Perfect if you’re after a natural, easy-to-wear look that feels polished but never overdone.

Autumnal Hair Colours

Red hair was made for autumn, it just feels right against the golden leaves and softer light of the season. This year, it’s all about wearable, modern shades like copper glow, cinnamon spice, and mulberry wine tones that bring richness and warmth without ever looking flat.

Why it works: These fiery hues catch the light beautifully, making your hair look vibrant and dimensional whether you’re indoors or out in the autumn sun.

Pro tip: Red pigments can fade faster than other colours, so treat your shade kindly with a nourishing, colour-protecting routine to keep it fresh and glossy.

Who it’s for: Perfect for anyone wanting to dial up the drama while still keeping a natural, radiant feel.
