Although my hair is naturally quite dark, I’ve had blonde highlights for as long as I can remember. Throughout summer I started to notice that my highlights were fading, so I quickly booked in with my hairdresser for a quick colour refresh. However, after doing some research into popular autumn hair colours, I swiftly cancelled my appointment and instead have been debating whether to try “chestnut brown” hair this September instead.
According to Google Trends, this hair colour is growing in popularity, and it’s not hard to see why. Not only is it the perfect shade for the colder months, but the rich, glossy finish looks undeniably chic. Keen to know more? Keep on scrolling for all the info…
What Is Chestnut Brown Hair?
As the name suggests, this hair colour has a deep brown hue with a slightly red undertone. It’s beautifully warm and rich, and often features a glossy, high-shine finish which makes it look super expensive. If you’re not a fan of warmer undertones then don’t fear, as this colour can be totally customisable. Make sure to chat to your hairdresser to see what kind of chestnut brown shade might work for you.
