2. Golden ombre

We’re a sucker for anything gold and that includes this dazzling hair colour! When coupled with long, springy coils, this pretty shade works to highlight your best features and really makes your curls come to life. Opt for natural dark roots for a contrasting and on-trend finish! Credit: @faladantas

Want to go lighter but worried it’ll clash with your skin tone? Try this bronde sun-kissed ombre! Natural hair babes, at least the one’s we’ve been following, love to keep their mane’s looking California chic with this sunny hue.

But this isn’t just a summer shade, oh no! The warm tints of honey, gold and caramel brown in this hue make it great for any season, outfit, or event. Credit: @marihsantosss
