Fall hair colors for older women consist of the colors of fall – copper, chocolate & richer warmer tones. After summer, and especially after the pandemic when salons were closed, older ladies are even more hungry for a change.
According to hairstylist, Aimee Jörliden of Helsingborg, Sweden, “If your hair is dyed in a darker color it’s not realistic to ask for a blonde tone in one appointment. Talk to your stylist about tape extensions. You can always put in some strands of tape extensions, in whatever color you’d like to try, without actually dying your hair.”
She continues, “If your hair is dyed blonde or has highlights mixed with strands of grey or white, don’t be afraid to add some butterscotch or/and peach-toned lowlights. Don’t be afraid of warmer fall hues, it gives the hair shine and dimension, and it’s always complimentary to the skin.”
When ask about at-home care, Jörliden says, “It’s important to understand that our hair, just like our skin, transforms with age and life. Give your hair the best foundation with good products, like Olaplex no6 and no7, because hair that is more coarse, like grey/white hair tends to be drier and can get frizzy because of lack of moisture.” She adds, “Olaplex products are moisturizers, which are needed when the seasons get colder. You don’t want your hair to lose its shine and flexibility so you have to upgrade the products and take care of it.”
So during this autumn season, embrace your age and consider one of these fall hair colors at your next hair coloring appointment. Feel free to show your stylist these inspiring photos!
