With so many stunning hair color trends out there — from rose gold and hidden rainbow highlights to that perfect gray ombré — it can be tough to decide on your next transformation. And now, thanks to colorist the options have just expanded with a new, mesmerizing fall shade that’s taking the hair world by storm.
How the Trending Fall Shade Came to Life
In an interview with PopSugar, Edelman revealed that she created this unique color blend using vibrant shades from Pravana Vivids. By combining hues like purple, orange, pink, and mauve with deeper, warm browns, she developed a rich, unconventional brown. According to Edelman, the darkest base began with red, yellow, and green tones. She then added hints of orange, purple, and a few unexpected shades until the mix achieved a beautifully complex tone.
The Transformation Process: From Brunette to Iridescent
Edelman’s client Marlena initially had brunette locks, so the first step was to lift her natural color with bleach, lightening it to a pale blonde. This pre-lightening process was necessary to allow the vibrant new shades to really pop. Edelman explained that while this color is ideal for those with naturally light hair, darker hair requires a bit more effort. For Marlena, the process took about three weeks, allowing her roots to grow out slightly. Edelman then used the Balayage technique, painting the color in a way that would blend seamlessly as her hair grew.
The Secret to That Gorgeous, Multi-Dimensional Finish
When it came to applying the new shade, Edelman strategically painted the hair in diagonal, irregular sections. She used a color melting technique to seamlessly blend each shade into the next, creating soft transitions that resulted in a subtle, almost iridescent finish. “The color melting gives it a dimensional shine that catches the light beautifully,” Edelman shared, and the result is nothing short of stunning.

FAQs
1. How long does a multi-dimensional color like this last?
The longevity depends on how you care for it. To maintain vibrancy, use sulfate-free shampoos and consider using color-depositing conditioners to refresh the shade.
2. Is this color achievable on dark hair?
Yes, but it requires pre-lightening. Darker hair needs to be lifted to a light blonde before applying these vibrant shades. It’s best to consult a professional to avoid damage.
3. Can I recreate this look at home?
Yes, but it’s best for those comfortable with DIY hair coloring. Use temporary color-depositing products and experiment with blending shades. However, if you’re unsure, visiting a skilled colorist is the safest bet for achieving that perfect blend.
