Seasonal Hair Transition Series: How to Take Your Summer Blonde Into Fall Without Damage
Hey, it's Meg Ann Lee. If you're standing in front of the mirror asking yourself "How do I take this summer blonde into fall without frying my ends?" - this one's for you.
We all know summer highlights are fun… until September hits and suddenly that bright blonde feels more like rough salty poolside margarita hair versus the warm creamy pumpkin spice latte fall hair vibes we want! Don't worry - I've got you covered.
3 Easy, Low-Damage Ways to Transition Your Summer Blonde into Fall Colors
Add Lowlights
Think of this as "sweater weather" for your strands. A few soft, darker ribbons of color add depth and make your blonde look richer - no bleach required.
Gloss with a Toner
I always like to say, "toner" is hair color and "toning" is a hair service. If your blonde is starting to look brassy, a toning service can be your best friend. It refreshes your shade, adds shine, and keeps things looking polished while protecting your ends.
Go for a Root Melt
On one hand I love that clients want to maintenance their roots so often but on the other hand, GIRL... embrace your natural color and let it grow out! Blending your natural root with a softer tone keeps the grow-out seamless and cuts down on salon visits - AKA less stress on your hair, your schedule AND YOUR BUDGET!
The KEY pro tip from me to you
The key to transitioning into fall is all about tone and depth - not extra bleach. Your hair will thank you later.
Pair one of these color updates with a deep-conditioning mask or a repair system like k18! Check out my current faves HERE.
You'll start your fall with glossy, healthy hair that feels as good as it looks.
