Everything on ash brown hair… The new trend hair color ensures that brunettes finally no longer have to look enviously at ash blond. We have the most beautiful Ash Brown looks from Instagram and tell you what to look out for when coloring!
Ash brown – a new hair color is born!
Already 4000 years ago humans began to dye their hair. Who would have thought that in 2020 we would still encounter a completely new hair color? Ash brown is the long overdue counterpart to ash blond and means a slight gray tinge of brown: a matte, ashy and noble shimmer lies on the hair.
Yesterday was warm! Now a cool brown one!
In recent years, warm brown nuances such as caramel and copper were the order of the day. But the hair color trends for 2020 are developing in the cool direction.
Who does ash brown suit?
The trendy grey shimmer is ideal for brunettes with a cool complexion. How you define your skin tone is explained in our article “The right foundation – how to find the perfect tone”.
A quick trick to determine the skin undertone is white balance: place a white t-shirt around the hair and neck. The white reflects the color of your skin. If it is bluish, your skin undertone is cool. If your skin looks more yellowish, you are a warm skin type.
But also warm skin tones can harmonize with ash brown: If the base color in brown is kept a little warmer, or a few warmer highlights are combined with the ashy shades.
How is ash brown colored?
If you wear the natural hair color brown, you can have your look complemented at the hairdresser with highlights in earthy tones. Blonde or red hair is first colored medium brown and then streaked with various highlights and lowlights with ash pigments. It is best for the hairdresser to match the color tones to the complexion. It is important not to color hard gray highlights, ash brown is a play of cool brown shades.
An exciting variation is the ‘Balayage’ technique, this freehand highlighting technique is designed to achieve particularly natural color results, as the hairdresser can follow the natural curves of the hair so precisely and create more vivid highlights (unlike with foil strands). Ombré Hair also looks exciting with ash brown tips!
Important for the summer: So that you can enjoy your ash brown for a long time, it is important to apply sun protection for hair, otherwise sensitive colors will quickly disappear.
