How To Transition Your Hair From Summer To Autumn

In this article

    As the vibrant days of summer wane and the crisp air of autumn approaches, many seek to mirror this seasonal shift in their personal style, particularly through hair transformations. Transitioning your hair from sun-kissed hues to richer, warmer tones can be both exciting and rejuvenating.

    If you're on the fence about undergoing a drastic hair colour change, don't be. That's where The Halo can help you! Halo hair extensions offer a seamless, non-permanent, and damage-free solution to achieve this transformation easily. Below, see our guide to tips on blending Halo hair extensions with warmer, richer tones for the seasonal change.

    Understanding the Seasonal Transition

    Summer hair often embraces lighter shades—think beachy blondes and sunlit brunettes. However, as autumn arrives, there's a natural gravitation towards deeper, more saturated colours that reflect the season's essence. It's about making your hair richer, warmer, or cooler, as well as getting rid of unwanted tones and damage from the sun and elements.

    Integrating Halo Hair Extensions

    Halo hair extensions are an excellent tool for adding volume, length, and dimension without the commitment of permanent changes. To ensure a seamless blend with your natural hair, consider these:

    1. Colour Matching 

    Select extension shades that not only closely match your desired autumn shade but your real hair colour too. Many brands offer a variety of tones, and some even provide custom color blending services to achieve the perfect match.

    2. Layering for Dimension

    Incorporate extensions with subtle variations in shade to mimic natural hair depth. This technique adds richness and a multi-dimensional effect, enhancing the overall appearance.

    3. Professional Consultation

    Engage with a professional stylist to cut and style the extensions, ensuring they blend seamlessly with your natural hair. A well-executed trim can make a significant difference in achieving a cohesive look.

    Choosing the Right Halo Shades

    Selecting the appropriate shade is crucial for an easy hair transition. Here are some popular autumn hair colours to consider:

    Halo Shade to Try: Light Brown + Medium Brown #4/6

    Copper

    Bold yet warm, copper hair mimics the golden hues of autumn leaves. This shade works beautifully for those who want to brighten their complexion with a radiant, sunlit effect. It’s especially flattering on fair to medium skin tones with warm undertones.

    Auburn

    A rich, deep blend of brown and red, auburn is perfect for adding warmth and dimension to darker hair. Whether you opt for a light auburn or a chestnutty hue, this shade enhances natural brunettes while giving an effortless seasonal update.

    Styling Tips for a Cohesive Look

    Achieving a natural and polished appearance involves thoughtful styling. Here are some tips to consider:

    Heat Styling

    Both your natural hair and extensions should be styled together to ensure uniformity. Whether opting for curls, waves, or straightening, simultaneous styling helps in blending the textures seamlessly.

    Product Application

    Utilise colour-safe and hydrating hair products to maintain the vibrancy and health of your hair. Regular use of hair masks and sulfate-free shampoos can prevent dryness and color fading. 

    On your Halo, as long as you properly care for it with regular washes, shampooing, and conditioning (using an extensions-safe hair routine), it will last through many seasons.

    Regular Maintenance

    Schedule periodic appointments with your stylist for hair cuts or touch-ups and to address any issues with your Halo extensions. Proper care extends the lifespan of the extensions and keeps your hair looking its best.
