Bronze Hair Is the Prettiest Fall Shade for a Little Warmth

They say you can’t beat a classic, but one of the biggest hair color trends heading down the tracks for autumn proves that, actually, you can. Bronze hair is here to take brunettes to the next level, and it’ll give complexions a boost in the process. We like those credentials a lot.

With the days set to get shorter and darker, we need something to add a little glow back into our appearance, and bronze hair does exactly that. Even better (good news for the minimalists), it’s nothing too crazy. Instead it’s a simple wearable tweak that makes hair look phenomenal and brightens skin during dreary winter. The warm, luminous tones act like a built-in ring light, especially when applied in face-framing sections.

And, if you’ve been on the fence about whether to try something more drastic, it nods to the metallic copper hair trend vibe that’s also massive this season, but in a more low-key, timeless way.

We spotted a phenomenal rendition of the hair color created by pro hairstylist James Earnshaw, who makes a good point. “Not all transformations have to be overly creative,” he says. “Sometimes something simple and gorgeous is enough.”
