Frosted dark brown

Frosted dark brown hair is one of the most popular winter hair colors for dark brunettes. It’s an easy way to add dimension and brightness to your look, especially if you have medium or dark brown hair.

This style can be achieved with a few different techniques:

  • Highlights: If you have naturally light strands, then highlights will help create some depth in your color without having to go all-out with the frosting effect.
  • Ombré: This technique starts with a darker base and gradually goes lighter towards the tips of your locks (think of it like painting over a canvas). If done well, this look can be very effective at creating an illusion of shine while still keeping things subtle enough so as not to overwhelm those around us with our new hues (or maybe we just need moms around us less often).

Ash brown

Ash brown is a dark brown hair color with a cool undertone. It’s one of the most popular winter hairstyles because it can cover grey hair and make your eyes pop! If you want to go for this unique look, here are some tips:

  • Ask your hairdresser to maintain your ash-brown color every 4-6 weeks. You’ll get better results if they use permanent dye that doesn’t fade quickly or wash out easily.
  • Use conditioner regularly when washing your hair so that it stays shiny and soft without being damaged by shampoo products (like sulfates). You also don’t need to spend money on expensive brands—the cheap stuff works just as well!

Grey

The grey hair color is one of the best winter colors, because it’s a natural look and easy to create. The color can be done in a few different ways.

The first way is by using a temporary root touch up product, which will last for about two weeks before you have to repeat the process again. Another way would be going to a salon and getting your hair colored with permanent dye that washes out gradually over time, creating an effect like this:

A third option is going for partial highlights or all over grey strands. This technique creates subtle hints of gray throughout your hair that blend naturally into your own color (and makes them look like they were always there).

Lavender

Lavender is a beautiful color that is not too bright and not too dark. It’s a great choice if you want to try a new color, but don’t want something as bold as blue or purple. Lavender hair is also one of the most popular winter hair colors for women with dark brown hair. If you’ve always wanted to go purple, but didn’t know where to start, lavender might just be your answer!

Wine red

Wine red is a bold color that’s perfect for the winter months or fall. It’s a warm tone, which means it will look great on dark hair but not work well with light or red hair. Wine red looks great on skin with cool undertones—pale skin, blue eyes and pink lips look great with this color! If you have warm undertones, wine red can also be a good option for you.

This shade of burgundy works well in the colder months because it has hints of brown mixed in (which helps keep your face from looking washed-out).

Pastel pink

If you’re looking for a unique way to brighten up your hair color, pastel pink is a good option. It’s a shade of pink that isn’t as vibrant as bubblegum or cotton candy, and it works well on brunettes. To achieve this look, use a lightener (usually bleach) to remove any dark pigments from your hair and then tone with a toner that’s slightly lighter than your natural color. This can be done at home or at the salon—just make sure you follow all instructions carefully so you don’t harm your curls!

Blonde highlights

Blonde highlights in dark brown hair can be very flattering and make the hair look much brighter. Highlights can be done all over, or just on the tips, or highlighted in specific areas. Blonde highlights are good for a dramatic look and will show up even better when you’re wearing something darker against your skin tone, like black or navy blue! You can even dye your whole head blonde if you want to go for a really drastic change!

If you’re going for natural looking color changes this winter, try using less intense colors like reds or light browns in addition to blonde highlights — they’ll create depth and dimension while still maintaining the natural feel of dark brown hair.

Chestnut brown

Chestnut brown is a hair color that falls between dark brown and light brown in terms of its depth. This means that chestnut brown can sometimes be mistaken for blonde or red, depending on how the light hits it or how you style it.

To achieve this color, use a combination of highlights and lowlights to create dimension in your hair. You could also add some blonde highlights to help make your chestnut brown stand out even more!

Some shades that are similar to chestnut include: caramel, cinnamon and copper.

Balayage highlights

Balayage is a French word that means “to sweep”. It’s a hair color technique where the colorist freehands an ombre-like effect. Unlike traditional ombre, which starts with dark roots at the top and lightens as you go down towards your ends, balayage highlights are meant to be more natural looking—no harsh lines or drastic changes in color. It’s great for dark brown hair because it allows you to get some dimension without any commitment to maintaining a permanent change in your locks!

Reverse balayage highlights

Another way to add some fun to your hair color is reverse balayage. This style combines highlights with the darker color at the roots and a lighter shade of your natural hair color at the ends.

For those who have never tried it before, reverse balayage can be a great way to experiment with colors or commit to something new without committing too much—if you hate it, all you have to do is bleach out the roots!

Platinum blonde

Platinum blonde is a perfect choice if you want to go all out with your hair color. The platinum blonde hue is achieved by using lightener, which makes it a little more maintenance than your average brown or black shade. In order to keep the brightness of your platinum blonde fresh, you’ll need to redo it every six weeks or so.

If this sounds like something that would be too time consuming for you and/or costs too much money (it can be pretty pricy!), then there are other ways to achieve this look without having to spend as much money:

  • Highlighted Blonde—This option has similar results as getting highlights done professionally on top of having dyed your hair platinum blonde all over. It looks great on dark brown hair because the natural tones still show through while adding depth and texture. Plus, since this style requires less maintenance than dyeing all over, it’s easier on both your wallet and schedule!
  • Light Blonde Ombré—To achieve this look yourself at home without any professional help whatsoever (and without spending a fortune), try doing an ombré effect with lightener instead of dyeing all over like before.”

Silver grey ombré hair

Another popular option is silver grey ombré hair. This look can be achieved with any shade of your choice, and you can wear it down or in a ponytail. If you’re going for the latter, opt for one that’s low on the head like this model did (she also has bangs). Or go high with a sleek ponytail like this woman:

Rainbow ombré hair

Rainbow ombré hair is a great way to show off your personality during the winter. Just like any other type of ombré hair, you’ll need to choose a darker base color for your strands. The options are endless and can be any color, but we recommend one that’s similar to or lighter than your natural shade. You can use dyes or temporary color sprays, which last for several weeks before washing out. If you’d rather have this done professionally by a barber (which you should), it will cost between $20-$30 depending on how much product they use in each section of hair and whether or not they flat iron it afterwards so it doesn’t frizz up after being exposed outside all day long!

Rose gold highlights

Rose gold is a blend of rose red, gold and pink. Rose gold is a popular color for jewelry and hair. This warm shade of rose is flattering on all skin types, even if you have olive or dark brown skin.

It can give your hair a naturally highlighted look without having to pay for expensive salon services. It’s also easy to maintain since you don’t have to worry about fading or washing your hair every day to keep it looking fresh!

Champagne blonde ombré hair

If you have dark brown hair and are looking for a new winter hairstyle, then I have the perfect look for you. It’s called a “champagne blonde ombré”. This is a nice, soft color that will work well with your skin tone and give you a very warm look.

This style can be difficult to achieve on your own because it requires some lightening of your natural hair color and then dyeing it blonde again. If this sounds like something that would be too much for you to handle, then I would recommend going to see an expert hair stylist or colorist who knows how do this type of thing safely!

This look would look best on someone who has pale skin tones like mine because they tend not to clash as often when contrasted against darker shades such as black or grey

Chocolate brown ombre hair

One of the most popular hair colors for brunettes in winter is chocolate brown ombre. It’s a great trend because it doesn’t require you to spend too much time or money on upkeep. Plus, if you’re a fan of experimenting with your look, this style can work well as an easy way to change up your look without having to get any drastic changes done at the salon.

If you’ve never heard of this particular style before, it’s actually pretty simple: Your stylist will highlight your hair with blonde highlights around the face and on top (as opposed to all over). You’ll also have some darker brown locks near the bottom that give off an ombre effect in sunlight—and even indoors!

Caramel brown ombre hair

If you have dark brown hair and want to keep it natural, try a caramel brown ombre. The color blends naturally into your hair, which makes it look like you were born with it. It’s also warm so it helps you look less pale in the winter.

The only downside is that the dye needs to be done regularly or else the color will fade away quickly. If you don’t want to spend money on frequent coloring sessions, then this isn’t the right style for you.

If your budget allows, go ahead and get a long hairstyle like this one from [@therubiesbeautybar].

Winter is a great time to consider a new hair color.

Winter is the perfect time to consider updating your look with a new hair color.

  • It’s winter, so you can start fresh and try something new without having to worry too much about how it will look on warmer days.
  • The holidays are just around the corner, which means there will be plenty of opportunities for you to try out your new look at various parties and events.
  • As we all know, winter is known for being cold and dreary—so if you decide to go for a bolder color than usual (like red), it can give your day-to-day life an extra dose of fun!
