Whether you’re enjoying the rain, or are just starting to pack up your summer wardrobe for the change in temps — chances are fall fashion is already on your mind. You might already have a sweater (or three) saved to your wishlist, but have you decided what to do with your hair color? Looking at some of the season’s top trendsetters — it looks as though color trends will be taking a dip with the weather into cooler territory.
Cool Color Shades Predicted for Fall 2023
While there has been a lot of chatter about Cowboy Copper, the fact of the matter is that not everyone can pull off warm shades. Whether you’re looking to add a pop of pastel or revamp your tone, cool tones with a hint of blue are the perfect answer.

Add a hint of blue to your highlights or pre-lighten hair to achieve the perfect pastel. Ocean blue blonde is a beautiful way to add multi-dimensional blonde shades to your hair.
