Celebrity hair stylists say deep, dimensional brunettes and sun-kissed tips with darker roots will trend this fall. Here are 17 celebrity-inspired fall balayage looks for inspiration.

As summer turns to fall, tans fade, and sandal sales make way for boots, many people trade in sun-streaked strands for richer, warmer tones. “This fall, creating dimensional hair with lighter sun-kissed tips and a darker root will be trending in a big way,” says celebrity hairstylist Marc Mena. Hairstylist Amanda Capomaccio predicts that “very deep, dark, dimensional brunettes” will be trending, while Dimitris Giannetos says champagne blonde and coppery reddish brown tones will be big.

All of the aforementioned looks can be achieved with balayage, a coloring technique that involves hand-painting highlights into the hair. The technique allows for a bit more nuance than traditional foil highlights and adds dimension without transforming the hair’s color.

Balayage typically preserves the original color of the root, making it low-maintenance and perfect for a subtle seasonal refresh. And though balayage is sometimes used as a shorthand for the brunette-to-blonde gradient popular in the mid-2010s, the technique can accomplish a wide range of looks. It works well on many hair types, though longer hair allows for a more gradual gradient than shorter hair, and finer hair requires more delicate coloring than thicker hair, Mena says.

Dimensional Brunette

Ciara's warm, rich brunette strands come to life with sunkissed pieces framing her face. The subtle balayage adds dimension, highlighting the areas where the light would naturally hit.

Rich Brunette

To take Keleigh Teller's dark chocolate hair to the next level, Giannetos added small highlights near the front, brightening up the area around her face.

Vintage Wood

Giannetos calls Joey King's warm brunette-to-blonde fade "Vintage Wood." He combined highlights and lowlights to achieve the honey-brown shade. "It popped on Joey's complexion and it is one of my favorite colors I’ve ever done on her," Giannetos says.

Subtle Money Pieces

Marianna Hewitt adds depth to her long locks by lightening the pieces surrounding her face. Keeping the roots dark and starting the balayage closer to the eyebrow keeps things extra natural looking. Capomaccio says this look is achieved with "very tiny highlights all over. Keep the ones around the face as bright as possible while toning everything else down just one to two shades lighter than your natural color. The focus here is the pop of bright color in the front!"

Amal Clooney's Glazed Donut Latte Hair

Amal Clooney's famously abundant hair gets added movement and dimension from subtle caramel-colored balayage. The lighter strands start near her chin and grow in number closer to her ends, helping her curls catch the light.

Sandy Blond

Capomaccio describes Halle Berry's honey-colored curls as featuring a dark root with sandy blonde tones that come up high and contrast the root only slightly.

Chrissy Teigan

Capomaccio says that Chrissy Tiegan's look features "bold, bright blonde highlights all over with a lot of contrast in between." She notes that leaving enough of the hair untouched and letting the darker tones show through keeps this look from appearing completely blonde at the tips. "You really need to have the depth of your base color showing through to help make the blonde pieces really pop!"

Honey Tones

Capomaccio notes that this look features thicker, though well-blended highlights. "For golden-honey blonde tones that don’t go up too high, the highest highlight would be in front starting around the corner of the eye," says Capomaccio. "Stay away from neutral/ashy toners and keep everything very warm!" Thicker highlights but still very blended."

Beachy Bronde
