If you’re tired of one-dimensional brunette shades, you need to go edgier and we’ve got just the thing. Our newest color obsession? Ash brown. Deeper shades are very fall-appropriate, but this year, transitional, often barely-there highlights are pulling ahead of the pack.
Ash brown is the perfect hybrid since its light highlights make dark strands pop. It’s also pretty low-maintenance because you have enough to deal with this season. And you can choose where you want to fall on the hair color spectrum depending upon your cut and base shade.
Still not convinced? Here are some ash brown examples straight from Instagram that prove it’s the perfect shade for fall.
Chill Out
This ash brown balayage is a big fall mood. From the soft and subtle gradient to the seamless blending, everything just works.
The best way to fake volume is to opt for a deep ombre that starts mid-crown. You can stick with your dark roots, but add a smoky top layer to give your locks a little complexity.
