They carry the fire of red hair and the depth of brunette in one strand, which makes them the natural pick when the weather cools and the leaves turn. A single formula can shift between deep brown-red indoors and copper glow in sunlight. I have spent years watching how red tones shift between summer and autumn, and auburn is the one shade that never looks out of place from September through November.
