Should I dye my hair darker for autumn?

YES, you love your blonde highlights, but you might want to consider going darker during the autumn. A sprinkle of lowlights — no more than two shades darker than your natural colour — will soften your face. Jodie Shirley of John Frieda advises: ‘Dial down colour for a richer look which works well as tans fade.’

Away from the salon, try a shampoo for brunettes to add warmth and blitz any brassiness. the new toni&Guy Radiant Brunette Shampoo (£7.19, boots.com) enhances natural tones. Joico Color infuse Brown Shampoo (£16.50, beautybay.com) is good for lifting golden hues, and Fudge Cool Brunette Shampoo (£13.95, look

fantastic.com) neuturalises unwanted red and orange tones.
