Not sure if you want to commit to a color change? Achieve a similar look by using coffee as a hair dye. It only lasts for about a week, so you won’t be tied to the look for an entire season.

Now that you’ve gotten your fall hair inspiration, let’s talk about how to dye your hair without hurting it. Your choice in hair dye can be the deciding factor between you achieving long, healthy locks or chemically damaged, split-end ravaged tresses.

Here are three ways you can look out for your hair as you change up your color:

1. Opt for natural dyes. If you’re choosing a color that’s darker than your natural hue, henna is a fantastic option. It dyes your hair without chemicals, so you’re able to avoid the negative effects of traditional dye.
2. Choose moisturizing options. You’ll be able to find many hair dyes infused with argan oil and other nourishing agents. These dyes will help to offset potential damage by ensuring your hair gets an extra dose of moisture throughout the process.
3. See a professional. If you’re going for a Beyoncé blonde or any other color that would require bleaching, it might be worth it to see a professional colorist. You’ll get the look you want without giving up length due to hair damage.
