Winter hair color trends include rich hues that complement and enhance your natural dye. Sophie Turner made waves with her apple cider red shade, while Kendall Jenner adopted deep burgundy as a trendsetting hue that conveys chic sophistication and good taste.
Highlighting with Golden Highlights
Highlighting your brunette locks with muted, warm golden highlights (without orange or red undertones) will create a soft and subtler glow this season – as seen here at Ashley Park.
Balayage for Long-lasting Shade
No matter your natural hair color or style, balayage offers an effective way to stay current with winter’s latest trend: long-lasting shade! The technique gives strands a softer, natural look while prolonging their effectiveness.
Winter Gold Hues
Celebrities like Zendaya and Hailey Bieber have been seen sporting winter gold hues – subtle but brightening pops of warm golden tones throughout your hair – as a great way to add contrast and brighten up their winter ‘dos. Dua Lipa’s look of choice features an ombre with cool blonde tones that enhance her unique complexion and are effortlessly chic!
Blonde Hues in Winter
As much as blonde hair may be associated with summer, light hues can still look stunning in winter. While platinum blonde is becoming an increasingly popular trend, brunettes can achieve this look quickly by using warm tones like caramel or honey for their toned blonde shade. Champagne, a light blonde hue with subtle pink undertones, makes an easy yet luxurious choice to wear this winter.
Chestnut Brown with Face-framing highlights
Choose a chestnut brown hue with subtle face-framing highlights for winter hair that will stay put without root touch-ups. This stunning three-dimensional style works exceptionally well on brunettes who want natural yet attractive blonde features.
Moody Reds for Impactful Statements
People with cool skin undertones can easily pull off moody red hues like apple cider or mulled wine; those with warmer complexions might prefer something bolder like aubergine or plum red to make an impactful statement this winter! Brunettes have plenty of choices when it comes to red this winter. Laura Put’s rich mulled wine shade adds depth and dimension to her deep mocha brown mane. Or try ginger spice for a warm and inviting hue that complements cool skin tones perfectly. Copper red has taken on a fresh new look this season: as a warmer, orangey apricot hue that makes an eye-catching statement without being overpowering or intimidating for brunettes seeking to venture into the red without fearing too bold of an effect.
Ensemble with Brown Hair Colors
Winter season and mulled wine go hand-in-hand, so why not create an ensemble that reminds you of this beloved drink with brown hair colors that recall warming beverages such as caramel or honey? We recommend trying this technique as one of our winter brunette ideas as an effortless way to add warmth and radiance without going blonde. Dua Lipa makes the look even easier by using BlondorPlex to lighten her strands to their desired undertone before applying this shade all over her head or in a balayage style. Apply the shadow all over or as balayage for the best results to create this flawless look.
Golden Blonde Highlights
Brunettes can achieve a bold and dimensional look by adding golden blonde highlights throughout their locks. Not only is this warm touch great for winter weather, but it can also help balance out any cool tones in their complexion. Hailey Bieber and Zendaya have already made it trending with this on-trend style this winter, so that it will become a winter favorite in 2023. To keep this color looking its best between washes, use dry shampoo. Or add face-framing streaks of gold for extra visual impact!
Ash Blonde for a Subtle Look
If you need more time to prepare for platinum blonde, ash blonde may be your ideal winter hair color choice. With its luminous grey shine and general flattery across skin tones, ash blonde will surely please any individual! Mahogany red can make an attractive choice for brunettes with cooler complexions, mainly if combined with balayage highlights, for added dimension and to prevent harsh lines at the roots. If this hue appeals to you, ask your stylist to add this technique for multidimensional results and to avoid sharp lines at their hearts.
Ash Brown for Effortless Natural Look
As a seasonal alternative to blonde, consider trying ash brown. Face-framing highlights in this hue give brunette locks an effortless, natural look without any brassiness – popular among celebrities like Hailey Bieber and Zendaya! Ash brown suits all complexions beautifully, while its waves pair nicely with any length hair style.
Cinnamon Brown for Warmth and Intrigue
Want to add some warmth and intrigue to your winter look? Try opting for a cinnamon brown shade – its rich, warm tones give brunettes an irresistibly seductive appearance that works exceptionally well on cool complexions.
