What is the ‘expensive brunettes’ trend?

This trend is exactly what it says on the tin. ‘Expensive brunette’ is the hairstyle that makes you think of a glamorous heiress or a powerful businesswoman. It’s a multi-dimensional hairstyle that incorporates carefully placed hues that are warm up your complexion. This hairstyle catches the light and brings your hair’s natural radiance to the surface.

The expensive brunette trend is a favorite amongst celebrities, including Bella Hadid and Hailey Bieber, who recently ditched her blonde locks for a darker look. Gone are the days when blonde was considered the ‘rich’ hair color. Since Blair Waldorf graced our screens, the heiresses and boss babes have been brunette.

What we love about this trend is that it’s relatively low maintenance. It’s a perfect choice for the woman who wants a ‘wow’ look without sitting in the salon chair every few weeks. This trend shows that less really can be more. You can use a gloss to add depth to your hair and enhance your natural skin tone or play around with color for a more personalized look.

 

How to achieve the ‘expensive brunettes’ look

If you want to experiment with this trend, let us know that you’re interested in the ‘expensive brunette’ look. The secret is to focus on adding depth and dimension to your hair by playing with different deep and light shades to create a natural contrast. The placement of your color is the most important element when creating this look, especially if you want to get the most out of your haircut.

You’ll also want to consider your skin tone when deciding which hues to choose. For the best results, you want to choose shades that compliment your skin tone. Cooler shades that you can use include ash brown and taupe, while caramel and copper are warmer options.

One aspect that is often overlooked is that this trend has a lived-in look that focuses on making the color placement look as natural as possible. You want to make it seem like the gods blessed you with the perfect hair.

The beauty of the ‘expensive brunette’ trend is that you don’t have to commit to a hair dye. Your hairstylist can create the look using your natural hair and a clear gloss or glaze to restore your hair’s radiance. You can also use our color service to go from blonde to an expensive brunette or to add a few strands of color to your natural hair.

 

Who should try the expensive brunette look?

Are you a blonde thinking of going brunette? You can follow the example of Hailey Bieber and use this trend as a more natural way of going brunette. You don’t have to worry about regrowth and use highlights to achieve your desired brunette look.

If you’re a natural brunette, you can still use this trend to bring life back to your hair – especially if you think it’s looking flat or lifeless. Dakota Johnson added gold lowlights to her chocolate brown hair to give it a two-dimensional look and to lighten its overall appearance.

Another celebrity that you can draw inspiration from is Ciara, who added a personal twist to the expensive brunette trend by focusing her lighter hues around her face. This trick helps to warm your complexion and is perfect for anyone with curtain bangs or layered hair.

You don’t have to give up your dark brunette locks to experiment with this trend. Zoey Deutch offers another take on this trend by adding copper undertones to her dark brunette hair to give an auburn-inspired illusion to her locks. Deutch has gone from blonde to brunette to red and black before settling on this expensive brunette look.

So, the short answer? The expensive brunette trend is for everyone – whether you’re a natural brunette or looking to transition to the color.

With natural hairstyles becoming all the rage for 2022, the expensive brunette trend is one that we’re expecting to become a standout for 2022.
