The Trendiest Brown Hair Colors

Strawberry Brown

Strawberry brown is a light reddish-brown color, and is perfect for those who want to go red but don’t want to be too bold. It’s flattering on most skin types and looks best with a slightly darker root.

Pink Brown

Pink brown is a pale pinky brown that has a subtle hint of color. It’s not quite red, but it’s not quite brown, either. This color can be achieved by using a demi-permanent or permanent dye on naturally light brown hair with cool undertones. The first step in achieving this look is bleaching your hair until it’s about 3 shades lighter than your natural shade and then depositing the pinky brown color onto your newly bleached strands from root to tip. This color works best on those who have naturally light-colored hair, as darker shades may appear muddy or unnatural against darker skin tones.

Even though this color conjures up images of strawberry milkshakes (and we love strawberry milkshakes!), I wouldn’t recommend this one if you want something subtle and natural looking—this shade tends to stand out more than others so make sure to use caution when picking out clothes that will complement this look!

Copper Brown

Copper brown is a rich and warm color that adds a natural warm glow to the face. It’s great for all skin tones, but can also be used as a base for highlights. This color can be mixed with other colors such as red, brown or blonde to give you the perfect shade.

The best part about this shade is that it works on short or long hair!

Red Brown

Red brown is a mix of red and brown. It’s bold, beautiful and the perfect shade for women with light skin, green eyes and freckles. This color will make you stand out, so if you’re looking to draw attention to yourself, this color is definitely one to consider. Red brown is also very trendy in 2016!

Chocolate Brown

Chocolate brown hair is one of the trendiest brown hair colors for 2016.

This rich, dark brown hue is similar to regular brown, but it has a few fun and fashionable twists. The best way to create chocolate brown hair is by adding red or gold tones. It’s an ideal shade if you have an olive skin tone because it can be difficult finding a color that matches both your skin and hair perfectly. Chocolate is also a great choice if you’re looking to change your look without making too much of a commitment as it’s easier to maintain than other shades.

Sandy Brown and Ashy Brown

Sandy Brown and Ashy Brown

Your colorist may call these colors by other names, but they are essentially the same thing: a warm shade of brown that looks great on warm skin tones. This is because ash brown hair colors contain more red than sandy browns do. The lighter your skin tone and the lighter your eye color, the better a sandy-colored dye will suit you—and vice versa for ashy dyes! If you’re looking for an almost white blonde shade that has some warmth to it (but isn’t quite ashy), try this beautiful option from Balmain Hair Colorist Rita Hazan:

The Trendiest Brown Hair Colors for 2016

  • Strawberry Brown

Strawberry brown is a reddish-brown tone that works well as a base color. It’s one of the trendiest brown shades in 2016 and looks especially natural on brunettes. If you have dark hair, then strawberry is an excellent choice for highlighting your strands. You can go with deep red highlights or lighter tones that range from auburn to light brown. However, if you have blonde hair and want to experiment with this color, try using subtle burgundy highlights instead of darker ones because they’ll complement your complexion more naturally.

  • Pink Brown

Pink brown is very similar to strawberry but has more pink undertones in it than red ones (thus making it lighter). This also makes it better suited for blondes than its counterpart because the brightness levels work together better when there’s less contrast between them
