Auburn hair is an enchanting red-brown hue that complements nearly everyone, both warm and cool skin tones, and on straight or wavy locks and curls. Try a dark auburn with subtle copper highlights for an on-trend look that sparkles under bright lighting. Add cheeky red baby lights to emphasize your eyes, then style your strands into voluminous waves or loose curls for maximum impact.
Dark Brown
Rich brown hair color makes a bold statement on brunettes who want to go for more sensuality. With more red pigments than dark brown hues, rich auburn has more red tones that show through, making the color appear like dark red and highlighting your natural beauty. It works exceptionally well on those with cool skin tones and can pair beautifully with green or pink blouses. Soft copper highlights add an eye-catching radiance to this timeless dark brown hue, creating an effortlessly stylish yet easy-care style perfect for long or medium strands. This rusty Auburn shade features an all-over effect, transitioning smoothly from dark roots to light ends. To achieve the ideal hue, ask your stylist for a carefully applied balayage technique with carefully placed layers blending perfectly together. Additionally, regularly use color-depositing shampoo and conditioning treatments to maintain this vibrant hue and maintain its emotional appeal.
Light Auburn
Light brown hair is an appealing shade that looks just as rich when used with highlights, low lights, or ombre coloring techniques. Fiery and feminine, this cinnamon look features an exuberant reddish hue with shimmering copper and brown tones for an irresistibly natural aesthetic. Perfect for women with thick, coarse strands who wish to give off an effortless charm. Make an understated dimensional red hairstyle pop by adding just slightly lighter highlights than your brown base color, creating an eye-catching red look perfect for any special event or celebration.
Red Hot Cinnamon
As seen by Maya Rudolph, this intense shade is ideal for deep complexions. A blunt bob with bright grapefruit-red ombre looks fiery and radiant; your stylist can dye your hair this hue without bleaching darker. However, regular salon visits and the use of color-preserving products will be required to keep the vibrant hue intact. An elegant color created from a combination of red, golden blonde, and burgundy tones makes this timeless hue flattering to all skin tones and eye colors. Wear this on long, slightly wavy locks for added charm – or achieve this look at home using permanent hair color with a reddish brown base color and golden copper highlights like L’Oreal Paris Excellence Creme Permanent Hair Color in Light Auburn/Red Velvet.
Gold Auburn
Rich auburn features more red pigments than your typical dark brown locks, creating a fiery henna blend with long silky locks that draw attention and emphasize eyes. It offers a striking contrast against neutral complexions while drawing focus onto your features and looks. Consider adding touches of copper to your dark brown locks for an instantaneous boost in brightness and movement. Or experiment with half highlighting, dyeing the top darker while keeping the bottom lighter for maximum impact. Golden copper hues add an irresistibly stunning glow to a brown complexion, no matter whether your waves are short or long. A color-preserving shampoo and conditioner from Davines is the ideal way to keep this shade in check and easily maintain it over time.
Casual Waves
Rich red hues bring out the natural beauty of long, voluminous curls. To maintain their fresh look, try a color treatment such as Fekkai’s sulfate-free conditioner and hair mask to protect red dyeing. Add depth and dimension to your brown locks with cheeky red highlights for a sun-kissed effect. These vibrant strands seamlessly integrate into the natural color of your red tresses, adding another dimension and depth to your haircut. If you’re not ready for a dramatic transformation, try opting for a subtler blend of red and blonde shades reminiscent of sunset hues. Pair this look with casual beachy waves or curtain bangs to achieve a feminine yet eye-catching style.
Long Curls
Long hair with a reddish hue features lush curls infused with vibrant red highlights for an irresistibly luxurious glow. The bold auburn shade adds depth and interest, adding dimension and complexity to an otherwise classic brunette look. This sophisticated yet playful style looks beautiful against dark skin tones and is easily maintained through regular trimming. Explore your vibrant side with this lustrous auburn balayage blend featuring subtle copper highlights. Its soft colors blend seamlessly with deeper tones, emphasizing natural volume and adding texture to your locks – the ideal look for career casual attire that still makes an impression in a conservative office environment.
