The Best Brunette Hairspo For Autumn/Winter

The wind and rain is telling us that autumn is well and truly here and the bleak weather is just not going to work with our lighter locks. So we’re thinking it’s probably time to take a trip to the darker side a la Zoella’s latest ‘do.

In fact we’ve been seeing a bunch of Instagram stars rocking the brunette look and it’s actually all we can think about. So if you feel our pain, then here’s some inspo to take to your hairdresser ASAP...

Zoe Sugg

Zoe Sugg shook us all when she copied the leaves and went all brown and autumnal. Going back to her natural roots she went a chocolate shade with a hint of highlights and it looks incred.

Olivia Culpo

The Model Squad star favours a dark brown shade which compliments her olive skin and brown peepers. Not to mention those perfect eyebrows. Proceed with caution if you’re fair skinned though, as this might wash you out.

Olivia Jade

If you’re not quite brave enough to go full brunette then rock out a balayage like Olivia Jade to ease your locks into it.

Nicole Williams-English

If you want to go full hog then opt for a black-brown a la Nicole, which suits naturally darker haired people most. Blonder folk might want to check with their hairdresser beforehand otherwise it could turn pretty Morticia Adams. Though we wouldn’t hate that tbh.

Lily Pebbles

Lily’s darker locks are making us want to run to the salon and get our hair coloured right this second. The cool brown tones are perfect for the colder months and we neeeeed.

Lewys Ball

Lewys’ natural hair colour is a soft brown and we’re jealous AF that we would have pay through the nose for this shade but it’s cool, we’re chill. And let’s be real, it's not only girls that want to switch up their locks for autumn.

Emily Canham

If you are leaning towards a warmer colour then you’ll be lusting after Emily’s hair that looks like she’s escaped the windy weather and spent a week getting some sun. And is that not the dream?

Kaushal Beauty

Kaushal has mixed a brunette base with some lighter honey highlights and it looks like the fall fantasy. It’s also perfect for brunettes who are growing out their previous colours because it’s so low maintenance.

Niomi Smart

The YouTube beauty has made the transition from blonde to brunette and made it look effortless. For paler skin it’s good to get a couple highlights so you aren’t washed out in winter.
