Spooky season hair is here: rich fall hair colors, gothic glam shades and Halloween hair color ideas to match every costume.
Sweater weather and spooky season are officially here, and your summer shade doesn’t need to go into storage. It just needs a fall makeover. Whether you spent the season in bright pink or sun-kissed blonde, here’s how to take your color into autumn without starting from scratch.
Find Your Fall Shade Swap
Start with the shade you wore all summer and take it a few steps richer:
-
Bright reds and pinks → Merlot for a deep, wine-toned finish that doubles as a gothic glam moment
-
Light brown → Mocha Latte or Mocha for cozy, latte-season tones
Want something custom? Cocktail two shades together, like Copper and Merlot, for a tone that’s all yours. Just remember: Color + Clenditioner deposits color but won’t lighten.
Give Your Duo a Fall Twist
Your Color + Clenditioner and High Shine Tinted Gloss routine stays the same this season. Only the shades change. Build your new autumn tone with Color + Clenditioner, then use Gloss on the washes in between to keep those warm tones rich and shiny all the way to the holidays.
Halloween Hair Color Ideas to Match Your Costume
Halloween is the one night when anything goes, and our Vivids are made for costume hair. Try one of these spooky season looks:
-
Y2K pop star: chunky Hot Pink for an early-2000s throwback
-
Little devil: Red all over for a bold, fiery costume
Vivids show up brightest on medium to light blonde hair. Want temporary Halloween hair color? Color just your ends or a few face-framing pieces for a low-commitment costume look. When the party’s over, Fade Effect Color Fading Shampoo helps speed up the fade so you can get back to your fall shade.
