Orange hair is not just for Halloween.

Orange hair is not just for Halloween. Orange hair has been worn by many celebrities, and it’s easy to see why—the color flatters a wide range of skin tones, from fair to olive. It can be worn year round, as well.

Orange hair comes in many shades; from pastel orange (think Alice in Wonderland) to bright and bold, there’s no shortage of options when it comes to choosing your perfect shade of fiery curls. And once you’ve chosen your ideal hue, there are plenty of ways to transition into the world of orange without making a big commitment or spending too much time on upkeep!

This season, orange hair is here to stay.

Orange hair is the new black, and for good reason. The color has found its way into many different strands this season. This isn’t surprising, though: every year, there are a lot of trends that seem like they’re here to stay (see also: bright reds and dark blues).

Orange is great because it’s a neutral color that can be paired with almost anything—it’s a safe bet if you’re not sure what shade you want to try out next. As much as I love neon pink and purple streaks as much as anyone else, sometimes all I want is something light and refreshing. Orange fits that bill perfectly!

If your natural hair color is black or brown but you want to add some vibrant tones into your look without going too far overboard (or if maybe you already have some ginger roots starting), then orange could be right up your alley! If this sounds like something up your alley then read on—I’ll share some tips on how best to rock this trend while staying true to yourself at the same time (and hopefully inspire others who might be considering giving it a try themselves).

Dark orange is a deep and vivid color that feels super natural on brunettes.

A dark orange is the perfect color for brunettes, as it looks natural and doesn’t clash with your skin tone. The key to pulling off a dark red is finding a shade that’s not too deep, but still has some warmth to it. If you’re looking for something bolder than your natural hair color, try going for an intense shade of cherry red or fire engine red. These shades will give you an extra pop and make you stand out by bringing attention to your face!

Bright red-orange is warm and friendly and suits everyone.

Orange is a warm color. Consisting of red and yellow, orange is one of the brightest colors in the spectrum, and gives off a very vibrant vibe. It’s also one of the most popular hair colors right now! If you’re looking for something that stands out without being too over-the-top, this might be your best bet—orange goes with everything!

Pastel orange can be worn year round.

This is one of the biggest reasons why you should wear orange hair. It’s not just for Halloween! Orange hair has been a part of fashion history, and can be worn in any season. You can rock your pastel orange hair all year round, no matter what time of year it is.

Summer and spring: If you want to be bolder with your bright colors during spring or summer, try wearing an orange shade that leans more toward red rather than yellow. This will help keep cool in warmer weather without being too bright on the eyes (the eye isn’t used to looking at such vivid shades).

Fall and winter: A darker shade tends to look better when paired with darker clothes during these seasons because the contrast keeps things from feeling washed out or bland (unless you’re going for that look). If you’re worried about how much maintenance this color takes—it does require upkeep since oranges fade faster than other shades—try pairing it with darker clothes instead of whites or blacks so that when it does fade out down the road (you’ll only notice if they’re close enough) they won’t show up as much.

Copper and apricot are both safe and vibrant options that add subtle warmth to your look.

Copper and apricot are both safe and vibrant options that add subtle warmth to your look.

• Subtle warmth: The term “warm” refers to the color family—reds, oranges, yellows and browns. If you think of a flame, it is warm because it gives off heat; if you think of the sun, it is also warm because it radiates heat (as well as light).

These shades can be gorgeous on any skin tone, especially when combined with other colors in an outfit or makeup look. For example:

• If you have dark hair but want some extra definition in your strands without going full-on redhead (or orange), try a copper balayage or dip dye instead! This trendy hairstyle will give your roots some life while still keeping them low maintenance for busy mornings at work or school.
• To bring out those natural highlights even more without looking like an overdone clown from the ’80s (sorry Katy Perry), opt for an apricot highlight instead! It’s one of today’s biggest trends amongst celebs like Jennifer Lopez and Ciara who know how to wear this hue flawlessly without being too much–and trust us when we say there’s nothing worse than having people stare at your head all day long thinking “what’s wrong with that person?”

This fall, ditch the black and pumpkin spice, and go orange!

This fall, ditch the black and pumpkin spice, and go orange! Orange hair is a great way to change up your look for the season. It’s also a great way to make a statement—and this season, you can get away with making one in more ways than one.

Orange hair has a long history of being associated with Halloween (and maybe some Disney characters). But now that it’s here, let’s take advantage of its brightness and energy by wearing it all year long. You’ll be surprised at how much fun this shade can be when you pair it with other colors or use it as an accent piece in your outfit.
