Autumn’s hottest colour trend? Pumpkin spice hair, of course!

Desperate to switch up your hair hue for autumn? Feeling out of the loop want to know what autumn hair colours are hot-to-trot? If that’s you, the only hair colour you should try this season to keep you ahead of the mane game, is pumpkin spice hair!

Aptly timed with the ritual roll-out of Starbucks’ famed Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL, FYI!), this warming hue marries together copper, ginger and auburn colours, for a showstopping yet subtle effect. And when you get a glimpse of the ladies we’ve found rocking the trend, you won’t be able to look away.

9 ladies who’ll make you want to try pumpkin spice hair this autumn

1. Classic pumpkin spice hair

As mentioned earlier, you can quickly banish any ideas of block-coloured, orange hair. This trend is all about working subtle saffron hues into your tresses – think: warm auburn and copper variations, blended with pretty pumpkin tones.

There’s also no need to worry if you don’t have Rapunzel-like locks, because this works well on both long and short hair lengths – so be prepared to see everyone rocking this new hue soon! Credit: @lechandeliersalon

2. Pumpkin spice ombre

The easiest way to rock this trend is to work your pumpkin spice hair colours, using ombre or balayage techniques.

These hair colouring techniques are great because they have a far more subtle finish, compared to their bolder colour cousin – highlights. And the best part? You don’t even have to worry about your roots growing out! Credit: @yorcheb

3. Pumpkin spice + dark hair

Got dark hair? Well, don’t be fooled into thinking that you can’t jump aboard this hair colour trend. You can easily tap into pumpkin spice hair by adding richer, auburn hair colours and keeping your roots dark.

Not only will this will help anchor the lighter hues, but it will also perfectly frame your face. One pumpkin spice hair to go please! Credit: @djvictory
