When browsing TikTok or Instagram feeds, it’s not unusual to come across women wearing auburn hair color – a timeless classic which never goes out of style!
For an airier take on auburn hair color, ask your stylist about sun-kissed highlights. They will add face-framing dimension and give your locks a warm summery glow.
Classic Auburn
For an eye-catching hue that won’t break the bank, classic auburn is an elegant hue that draws people’s gaze. This versatile shade mixes red and medium brown hues for an alluring appearance that flatters most skin tones.
Lighter strawberry or copper auburn hues work best with cooler complexions, while deeper mahogany hues suit warmer ones. If you are already brunette, consider asking your stylist to incorporate subtle auburn highlights throughout for a dimensional look without as intense an impactful dye job all-over.
To keep your color vibrant, consider switching out your shampoo and conditioner for one that contains argan oil or shea butter to moisturize while protecting it from fade-causing ingredients. This can keep strands healthy while helping ensure their color lasts as intended.
Chestnut Auburn
Chestnut auburn hair color is the ideal hue for those who are new to redheading without wanting to commit to bleach. It complements both warm and neutral complexions beautifully.
Make a bold statement by asking your colorist for auburn lowlights blended throughout light blonde hair. This look mimics classic soda hue and works year-round. Both brunettes and blondes will love this season-less beauty look.
Cooler tones like auburn require more frequent touchups, but can last longer when managed properly with a nurturing hair care regimen. We advise choosing color-safe shampoo and conditioner which work together to prevent fade while moisturizing strands for maximum color retention.
Burgundy Auburn
Cherry Cola Auburn has become an in-vogue color this year, appearing across TikTok and Instagram feeds alike. Combining deep red with cool brown for an eye-catching finish that complements both warm and neutral complexions equally well, cherry cola auburn suits warm as well as neutral complexions perfectly. Ask your colorist to incorporate lowlights throughout your light strands for additional depth and dimension.
This beautiful berry hue pairs beautifully with medium to dark hair, creating the ideal balance for warm red tones or adding brightness to cool brown locks. Consult your stylist if you already have dark roots, or consider opting for a lighter burgundy ombre style for optimal results.
Maintain the vibrancy of your new auburn color by forgoing heat styling. Consider investing in heat protectant like L’Oreal Paris’ Heat Slayer Leave-In Treatment to ward off damage and fade.
Black Auburn
Auburn is an ideal shade for women of color seeking a vibrant look, especially those with darker hair that want a natural boost that complements their complexion. It can also serve as an effective option when used as an undertone that enhances their complexion.
Try copper auburn to bring fiery warmth into your look. This luxurious hue complements darker skin tones perfectly while drawing attention to your eye color for an sexy and sophisticated effect.
If you’re not quite ready to commit fully, ask your stylist for a dark auburn hue with subtle red tones, such as Mulled Wine Auburn – it provides a sensuous hue with rich burgundy undertones that works beautifully on both warm and cool complexions alike.
Mulled Wine Auburn
Mulled Wine Auburn, an elegant burgundy shade with warm reddish undertones, looks stunning against brunette and chestnut base hues, as noted by PopSugar. Additionally, it can help balance out richer shades such as Berry or Merlot tones for a balanced look.
Inspired by autumn flavors, this fiery orange-red auburn feels warm and welcoming. It flatters warm skin tones while amplifying freckles for added impact.
Ask your colorist to add in soft coppery babylights for an understated take on this trending color. Keep your auburn locks looking luscious and vibrant by applying heat protectant before styling them with tools such as blow dryers or other heating devices; for best results use professional hair gloss every few weeks as a boost!
Cranberry Auburn
Cranberry, a dark auburn shade, combines ribbons of pink and strawberry hues with warm orange and copper tones for a striking cherry finish. This captivating hue adds fiery flair to your mane; request that your stylist include money pieces or halo highlights in order to add face-framing dimension.
Maintain the vibrancy and freshness of your auburn hair color with an in-salon or home hair glossing treatment designed for color-treated locks, such as L’Oreal Paris EverPure Sulfate-Free Glossing 5-Minute Lamination Hair Mask from L’Oreal Paris.
Auburn shades can range in temperature, from warm to cool and are appropriate for most complexions. When shopping for variations that combine brown and red tones for optimal results.
