25 Fall Blonde Hair Color Low Lights That Carry You Straight Into Winter

Okay, this is a genuinely useful color move if you’re blonde and don’t want two separate salon visits between now and January, lowlights added now will carry you straight through winter without needing a refresh. That’s the whole appeal of this technique.

If you want other ways to warm up your blonde for fall first, start with fall hair colors for blondes. This one’s specifically about the lowlight technique and placement.

Save the placement that matches how much depth you actually want.

Face-Framing Lowlights

Just a few pieces around the face, this is the lightest touch version of the technique, barely noticeable but instantly more dimensional.

All-Over Lowlights

Woven throughout the whole head, this placement gives blonde hair real depth and movement, not just a highlight-only look.
