Rich dark brown hair looks beautiful on its own, but it can be elevated with highlights, ombre, or peekaboo hues for an even more significant impact. These hues pair beautifully with curly, wavy, or textured textures and protective styles such as box braid extensions and lace front wigs.
Milk chocolate tones make an excellent base color choice for long, straight bob hairstyles. Their natural-looking hue adds warmth to any complexion, beautifully complementing many skin tone hues.
Chocolate Brown
Chocolate brown hair color is ideal for brunettes looking to add a rich, warm dimension. Reminiscent of chocolate syrup waterfall, this shade stands out against skin tones with warm undertones and dark eyes while serving as the ideal foundation for micro highlights that create a textured balayage look.
Rez recommends opting for a gloss treatment in the salon for optimal results with chocolate brown tresses. This will keep your color healthy-looking for longer and can help prolong its shine and sheen. Redken Shades EQ Gloss can be found at certain salons.
For an alternative take on chocolate brown hair color, light blonde may be just what is needed. This cool-toned shade pairs beautifully with most skin tones and is an attractive alternative to blonde highlights trends. If you prefer subtler changes, ask your stylist to blend a blonde shade into your chocolate brown roots for a more subtle transformation. For a softer ombre effect or ribbon highlights with a red ribbon color, they work exceptionally well when worn with choppy bob styles.
Ash Brown
Dark ash brown hair walks the line between cool and warm tones, drawing out your natural gray undertones with delicate silvery tones to create an airy yet sophisticated aesthetic.
If you’re ready for a change without bleaching, consider light ash brown hair color instead of darker ash hues. Light ash offers the same stunning, natural-looking results without the multiple coloring sessions required for dark ash colors.
Create a beautiful ash brown hair color ombre to cool dirty blonde with the use of darker roots that fade artfully to a pale blond finish. This trend works great on straight or wavy long hair and accentuates any face shape!
If you’re not quite ready to commit to an all-over ash-brown hair color, ask your colorist to add subtle ashy highlights instead. This low-maintenance style works wonders at balancing out warmer or lighter tones in your locks while looking beautiful on any length. Just be sure that you purchase quality dye like Schwarzkopf’s Professional Igora Royal Permanent hair Dye; its exceptional gray coverage guarantees radiant color that lasts through 12 washes for maximum impact!
Copper Brown
Copper hair colors have long been favored among brunettes, as seen in celebrities such as Hayley Williams, Ayesha Curry, and Girl Wilde. This fiery hue features warm brown and red tones for a stunning combination that works with all skin tones but is incredibly flattering for olive complexions.
If you like the look of copper-red hair color but are hesitant to commit fully, highlighting may be the solution. Highlights create subtle blends of copper and brown shades, making your new color less costly while growing out more naturally over time.
Create an eye-catching and unique style by streaking varying shades of copper into your tawny brown locks for a trendy and modern aesthetic. This hue works best on light to medium brunettes, as dark hair will require bleaching lighter before applying copper red dye. Please talk with a hair professional about which hue would work best with your coloring goals before having them use semi or demi-permanent box dye to highlight strands that fit with them.
Cola Brown
Cherry tones once enjoyed popularity during the late ’90s and early 2000s and are back on trend thanks to TikTok and celebrity hair trendsetters such as Dove Cameron. This luxurious cherry tone consists of deep, lush burgundy tones with subtle red highlights, adding depth and dimension to natural dark brown hair colors.
Coppery tones in this warm shade of brown make an unforgettable combination when mixed with black hair. It highlights green, brown, or blue eyes while beautifully complimenting pink and peach complexions.
