Many women want to change their hair for the fall. After a summer of light and easy, bright and bold seems the way to go.

But how does one decide how bright and bold to go?

Well, a good stylist goes a long way. Take some pictures of what you like to your stylist, then ask the stylist’s opinion. Also, some sites like this one allow visitors to upload their own photo for a virtual make-over. Models in a wide range of skin and hair tones are also available.

Red is a great color for the fall, with a lot of range. It can be golden or it can have purplish hues. Same with brunette shades.

And remember, if your new color doesn’t work, you can make changes. Also, it’s not permanent. Live a little!
