Sun-kissed brown

Seasons may change, but with sun-kissed brown locks, summer will never leave you. Try working a rich, medium-warm brown as a base tone, and using a few lighter shades (like caramel and copper) as highlights, to give it a wonderful sunkissed finish.

Editor’s tip: Colouring your hair can leave it a little bit brittle. Try TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Hair Masque Treatment to return life and moisture to your hair.

Rich chestnut

Do you find that darker, chocolate hues tend to wash you out? Then this rich brown hair colour is the one for you. Not only will this shade help to brighten up your complexion, but its natural-looking finish means it can literally turn anyone into a beautiful brunette.

Auburn

Is it red? Is it brown? No, it’s both! This rich hue is perfect for giving your tresses an awesome autumn colour treatment that’ll really brighten up your ‘do. Rock this shade alongside some big, bouncy curls and you’ll have a look that has tonnes of depth and dimension.

Editor’s tip: Keep your rich auburn shade vibrant with specialised hair care products. The Dove Colour Care Shampoo and Conditioner are specifically formulated to care for colour-treated hair. Your hair colour will stay vibrant for up to 8 weeks.

Dark mocha

If you already have dark hair, it can be easy to choose a brown hair colour that’s too light for your taste, without knowing the end result. But that’s where this sultry, dark mocha hue can step in and save the day. This rich, dark brown colour perfectly toes the line between warm and cool.

Barely black

As hair colours go, black can be particularly hard to pull off. But there is a simple hair solution: barely black. This hair colour is an absolute stunner because of its ultra-deep and rich finish. So, when rocking this super dark brown hue, be prepared to turn more than a few heads.
