POV: We’re In A Brunette Era!
It’s official—we’re in our Brunette Era, and it’s giving rich, expensive, I love my hair energy and we’re here for it. It’s about time darker hair shades had their moment.
Let’s get into why this Expensive Brunette Trend is taking over, what makes it stand out from a sea of muddy-dull-brunettes, and why everyone is going back to what your natural genetics gave you.
It’s all about tone-on-tone richness, soft contrast, and a high-shine finish that screams understated elegance; not to be confused with dull brunettes that lack shine.
There is a big difference.
The key to achieving this opulent brunette lies in the perfect balance of warm and cool tones combined into one delicately designed color. Unlike flat-dull-muddy, single-tone brunettes, this trend enhances natural depth and movement. It gives the illusion that it could be your natural color, but has all the juicy richness that nature doesn’t provide. Creating the heads turn type of hair color.
The result?
A sophisticated, multi-dimensional color that exudes effortless elegance. Making your hair appear fuller and shinier. Plus, it’s incredibly versatile, perfect for any season or skin tone.
