EXCLUSIVE: Audrina Patridge Headed Back to Natural Hair Color

Come fall, it's not just clothes and accessories that get the best of stylish gals looking for a change -- you've got to mix the hair up as well!

RadarOnline.com got an exclusive peek at The Hills star Audrina Patridge's Fall/Winter hair agenda, from her colorist Erick Orellana of celeb-fave Los Angeles salon Chris McMillan.

"Audrina's wanting to go darker for the season after going lighter for the summer," Orellana says of Patridge's eventual plans to go entirely back to her normal brown.

"We can't go as dark as we're planning to go yet, so to prepare her hair for the next steps, I made subtle changes."

Orellana toned down with platinum hues with "a rich autumn blonde," using honey brown lowlights with a hint of auburn.

He insists that for any girl wanting Audrina's hues at home, make sure "tone is chosen according to your skin and eye color, and color doesn't have to be heavy or severe to translate."

As far as trends go, he says look no further than the foliage--vibrant reds and honey browns are popping up everywhere as we roll into the colder days.
