10 Cool Orange Hair Shades to Try
1. Apricot
If you love pastels and light colors, try apricot. It’s a soft and feminine color that goes well with pale and fair skin tones. A bit of bounce and volume will help the color pop. You might want to flip your hair when you blow dry to give it a boost.
2. Orange Ombre
Get this ‘do by dyeing your roots orange, then let it slowly transition to your natural hair color. You can also dye the rest of your hair blonde and let orange fade to that color. This way, your hair will give off a sunset-like effect. So gorgeous!
3. Red Orange Hair
This darker shade of orange can suit morenas and women with medium skin tones. It is chic and elegant as well. A bit of shine can make this hair color look sleek, so don’t forget to apply a drop of hair serum before leaving the house.
4. Burnt Orange Hair
Look a bit edgy with a touch of burnt orange tone on a pixie cut. To create drama, get a long fringe and dye it burnt orange while keeping the rest of your hair in its natural hair color. Then, style your pixie cut by creating a quiff or by curling your long bangs.
