Maybe you checked out ways to prolong your hair color from celeb stylist Debi Dumas. Now it's time to start thinking about which hair colors you will be prolonging for the upcoming Fall season.
According to Dumas, the latest colors "will coincide with what's going on in fashion." Brighter fabrics and ruby and jewel tones all made appearances on the Fall runways. She says we'll be seeing "warm, but not over-the-top vibrant colors" that will work in tandem with clothing. The idea is to enhance, not compete, with the bolder fabric choices.
For the hair, red-violets and bright, bold tones are out. Natural, soft golden browns and amber tones are in. Gone are the days of heavy streaks, too. Instead, think multilayered and multidimensional — richly diffused warm color around the face.
Dumas is not Jessica Biel's colorist, but Jess has the look — check out how her warm color tones gradiate from dark to light. The effect is soft, subtle, and gives brightness to her face. Need more inspiration? Browse my gallery for fashion and hair-color inspiration when you read more.

Jessica Alba's color is stunning. I really, really want it!
1I don't think hair color is something to follow the trends on. It's going to change your whole look and it's much better to go with something that flatters you and not something trendy.
2Whoops, I meant Jessica Biel's. I got my Jessicas mixed up =P.
3I agree with JaimeLeah. I'd much rather go for the cut, anyway. In fact, I might bring it to the salon with me this weekend!
4Oh man, my hair's due for an update. I haven't cut it since March, and it grows FAST. Maybe I'm due for some new color, too? I like the look of Jess' highlights, but I also love Kate's. Hmm, something to think on.

6Pretty haircolor, healthy shiny hair, length/layers are very flattering, but can not stand those stuck-to-her-head bangs.
7I'm terrified to go golden anything again. It just doesn't work on me. I've been ashing the crap out of my hair all summer to fix it.
