From light honey browns to deeper golden browns and red brown hues, brown hair is uniquely fit for every season. There are so many red brown shades in the brown hair palette, that the only problem will be picking just one shade!
Don’t worry if you can’t decide! We’ve got just the right red brown hair ideas for you – ones featuring simple mixes, or balayage, highlights, ombre, & many more!
1. Red Brown Hair
This is a remarkable classic red brown shade. The healthy dose of red breaks through the medium brown shade in a lovely mix.
Is it cherry? Is it chocolate? With brown to red hair, you’ll have a hard time telling. What matters is that all these nuances shine bright and create a uniquely stylish look.
2. Copper Brown Hair
The cool thing about copper hair colors is that they’re undecidedly brown, red, and blonde, all at the same time.
Nonetheless, copper browns shine like no other in the summer sun. Pay attention to your skin tone though before deciding to try on this royal brown red color.
3. The Ashlee Simpson
If you thought blondes can’t go for delicious chocolate tones, think again! Ashlee Simpson sported a dazzling auburn hair color with medium chocolate undertones. Notice how flattering this shade is when it comes to the color of her eyes.
4. Trend Alert: Light Red Hair
This light red brown hair color is climbing up the trendy ladder – and with good reason! The gold and copper shades are summer material, while the reddish and brown undertones help add even more depth.
5. The Emma Stone
Emma is an adept of the red hair colors family. She has embraced and rocked them all. This is one of her soberer takes on red hair colors. Nonetheless, the green-eyed vixen looks as remarkable with a darker tone as with a lighter red hair shade.
6. The Lana Del Rey
Lana’s moody chocolate auburn hair is a powerful statement. Styled in these vintage waves, her luscious mane proves that a certain style comes with attitude. Then again, Lana is the queen of cinematic appearances. From dirty blondes to luxurious brunettes, we’ve seen her don every color.
7. Dark Brown Hair with Red Highlights
If you’re looking to ease your way into a stronger red brown color, why not first go for highlights! Also, if your hair is naturally brown, then you’re in luck! Try on lighter red shades for the tips and overtones and reserve the darker reddish hues for the undertones.
8. Brown to Red Hair
When these two colors meet, they create a full rich hue that isn’t easy to wear but which looks absolutely dashing. If you feel you have what it takes, go for it! Dark brown and red hair has a way of attracting a lot of looks.
9. Red Highlights on Dark Brown Hair
The toned-down base orange with brown tints is brightened by red and blonde highlights. To achieve this look, ask your hairstylist for thin, barely noticeable highlights that run the length of the hair.
10. Red and Blonde Highlights on Brown Hair
Since red brown hair is already a splendid blend of colors and shades, enhancing it with a rainbow-like mix of highlights can’t hurt. Particularly if the colors of the highlights range from deep crimson red to toned down auburn and blonde.
11. Pixie Cut on Dark Brown Red Hair
You didn’t think red brown colors can look so well on short pixie hair, did you? Far from being a tacky note, this hairstyle is edgy but chic and cute at the same time!
12. Short Hairstyle on Light Brown Red Hair
Reddish-brown hair with caramel tints perfectly highlighted by the short textured haircut. Although her hair is thin, both the hair color and cut build volume and depth.
13. Deep Mahogany Hair
Mahogany is one of the colors in the brown hair colors palette that look remarkably flattering on anyone. However, the deep red hues are a better fit to brighten and highlight fair and medium skin tones.
14. Auburn Hair Color
While auburn is considered to be part of the red hair colors family, we believe the creamy brown notes of auburn make it a suitable candidate for the brown hair colors palette as well. Here, we see auburn being enriched with fine blonde and copper highlights, for a brighter note.
15. Brown Hair with Red Tint
