It Looks Like Bleach Is All The Rage This Fall

If you're a fake blonde, your colorist might start suggesting lowlights around the same time you start wearing sweaters to your touchups.

"People don't really care about the time of year," Symonds says. "Before last season, you might think to save a bright blonde for summer. Now, many people want to do the opposite, like darker, more natural color for summer — and punch it up platinum for fall."
