9 Fall Hair Color Trends for Blondes You’ll Be Seeing Everywhere

When fall arrives, we tend to replace our summer sun-kissed hair color and go with darker hues. But just because the sun isn’t shining as bright these days doesn’t mean your hair shouldn’t. Instead of letting your tresses lose their glow, find new ways to rock your golden locks this fall.

Before you go crazy with color, it’s important to know how to take care of dyed hair. Since some shampoos can cause your look to fade within a matter of weeks, opt for one that's formulated to retain vibrant color, like R+Co Gemstone ($24, amazon.com) or Oribe Shampoo for Beautiful Color ($46, amazon.com).

You might also want to invest in something to give your hair extra shine, like Evo Fabuloso Color Intensifying Conditioner ($20, amazon.com). Once you have the products you need to make your color last, you’re ready to let your hairdresser work her magic. Below, we’ve gathered nine fall hair color trends for blondes that are huge this season.

Blonde balayage ombre

We get it, you want to change things up as winter draws near, yet you don’t want to go all the way over to the dark side. A balayage ombre combo like this one by @hellobalayage will keep your warmth while incorporating shadowy tones up top.

Dirty blonde

If you want your locks to look effortlessly on point, this messy style by @sarahzstylz is for you. Not to mention you won’t have to worry about your roots growing out.

Orange to blonde ombre

What better way to celebrate the season than by adding burnt orange flair to your hair, like this look by @kristinamaccaro? Ombre allows you to hold onto your beloved blonde on the bottom half of your mane and create a head-turning fiery effect.

Platinum blonde with brunette undertones

Going completely platinum can be intimidating, but with a ‘do like this one by @catherinelovescolor, the chocolate undertones add contrast to make it less full on.

Blonde with red undertones

What do you do when you want to get festive, but you’re not down for an entire head of pumpkin orange hair? Two words: maroon undertones. This style by @soulsnap has seriously taken off this season, and it’s not too late to get in on the trend.

Platinum blonde

Okay, you’ve been thinking about it for long enough, and it’s finally time surrender to the trend and transform into the rock star you know you are with a full head of platinum. We can all agree this pearly look by @nicoletta_marie is #goals.

Rose gold

All of the jewelry you own is already rose gold, so why not give yourself a crown to match? This rosy style by @ambermcmahen is exactly what you need to switch things up this season without going dark.

Pastel highlights

Add some color to your life with pastel highlights like these by @kortniwebbhair. Let’s be honest, us unicorn lovers can’t resist an opportunity to get in touch with our magical side…

9 Signs It's Time to Break Up With Your Gym

– health.com

Breaking up with your pedicurist, tailor, and electrician? Easy. Breaking up with a best friend, boyfriend, or girlfriend? Way less easy.

But another tie that can be hard to cut—and hard to know when to cut? Your ties to your gym.

Between fitness plateaus, lack of cleanliness, and a way-too-long commute, there are tons of signs it's time to dump your gym—whether it’s a boutique studio or big box fitness facility. Below, nine reasons to join a different gym, according to experts.

The broken equipment isn't getting fixed

If you lived in an apartment with broken appliances that the landlord never got around to fixing, chances are you’d either take legal action or find a new place to live when your lease was up. Similarly, when equipment breaks, a well-run gym will take the necessary measures to get it fixed—and quickly, especially in the age of overnight shipping and TaskRabbit. If it’s taking weeks for broken equipment to get fixed, it’s reflective of a gym that either doesn’t have the funds or is apathetic about the conditions of the space. Either way, it’s a sign your gym deserves dumping.

It takes you longer than 30 minutes to get there

How often have you wished that there were more than 24 hours in a day? Exactly. Rhetorical question. Spending a long time commuting to the gym is an automatic reason to switch up your sweat session. For some people—depending on where you live—even 20 to 30 minutes may be too far. In cities, for example, it’s wise to pick a gym that’s within 15 minutes walking or subway distance. More than that, and it’ll be easy to find an excuse when it’s cold, dark, or late. If the gym is close, you’ll have one less excuse for subbing the barbell (or bootcamp) for Buffy reruns.

The fitness classes offered just aren't doing it for you

Maybe when you joined the gym you liked the class schedule and instructors. But somewhere along the way your fave instructor found a new job and the Pilates class you like was swapped with Zumba or a HIIT class you can’t get into (so. many. burpees!). Use this as an opportunity to scope out other gyms' class offerings. While you’re there, pay attention to the type and timing of the classes to know if they'll make things more exciting for you.

You're overpaying

A recent survey from supplement and fitness company Myprotein found that Americans spend an average of around $34,000 on gym memberships, personal trainers, or workout plans over their lifetimes. “One sign that should make you consider breaking up with your gym is when you start to balance your checkbook in order to afford it,” says iFit trainer Becca Capell. While the financial tipping point will be different for everyone, there are a number of affordable alternatives that fitness enthusiasts can use for the sake of their bank accounts…

This Mascara Is So Good, A Tube Is Sold Every 7.4 Seconds

– health.com

When it comes to mascaras, there is no gray area. They're either clumpy and smudgy, or life-changing, everyone-asks-if-you have-lash-extensions-good. Too Faced's Better Than Sex Mascara falls into the latter category — the five-year-old product is currently the best-selling prestige mascara in the country. In fact, according to the brand, a tube of it sells every 7.4 seconds.

"I wanted to create a holy grail mascara for every woman out there who’s been searching for the perfect mascara that delivers volume, separation, length, curl, and rich, fluffy, black lashes," says Jerrod Blandino, co-founder and chief creative officer of Too Faced. "Before Better Than Sex, you could get a couple of those things in a mascara, but never all of those things in one tube. I gave myself the freedom to experiment, play and dream without time limits, launch dates, or the pressure of needing it to happen."

Considering it took three years and over 100 variations before landing on the formula everyone knows and loves, it's a good thing that Blandino wasn't tied to a launch date. "The science of a mascara is the most difficult thing to do within the color cosmetics industry," he explains. "There are so many variables that will make or break it, from ingredients, waxes, the temperature of the water going into the batch, time of year and weather, the brush, the bottle, the glue that holds everything together, the metal, the plastics, essentially every component that makes it what it is."

According to Blandino, the fact that Too Faced went outside of the typical mascara ingredients to find things that take it to the next level, is what makes Better Than Sex so wonderful, and a product that can't be replicated. Well, and the fact that it's name would make your grandma clutch her pearls. Incidentally, the origins of the mascara's X-rated name is ironically G-rated.

"We had been playing and testing for so long and we had finally found a formula that we were all loving, but hadn’t unlocked it with the right brush," says Blandino. "The UPS man came in and dropped off a box full of brushes. My team and I rolled our eyes thinking, 'ok, another trial and error is about to happen.' We chose a couple brushes, nothing great happened, and then we plucked THE ONE out of the box, dipped it in the tube, swirled it around, and when my product development manager applied it, everybody’s jaws dropped, gasps were heard, and I screamed, 'Oh shit! It’s better than sex!'

Whether or not the mascara is hyperbolic is up for you to decide. Too Faced's Better Than Sex Mascara is available for $24 at sephora.com.
