As the seasons change and leaves turn, there’s a special magic in refreshing your look, and for me, the hazelnut hair color trend perfectly captures the spirit of fall with its cozy, warm hues.
Its warm soft brown shade with subtle undertones of golden brown are the charm of hazelnut hair. “It is the perfect shade for fall and winter,” says Kim Kimble, a renowned celebrity hairstylist, who describes it as a great color that brings warmth to the skin and matches a wide palette of skin tones. The allure isn’t just its hue, its color that bends to the wearer’s whim: does it want less hue, warmer, richer, bolder?
Celebrated for its low maintenance nature, this shade grows out effortlessly with little need for touch-ups, ensuring that fresh from the salon look can last longer. Whether it’s a soft, blended balayage blended or a deep, uniform shade, hazelnut hair is just the right balance of warm and sophisticated.
When discussing your desired look with your colorist, ask for a ‘soft, medium brown with neutral and warm undertones’ for a natural, rich finish that beautifully catches the light without being too dark, allowing for that coveted hazelnut glow.
A universal appeal to hazelnut hair is provided by the expert insight. Flattering all skin tones from fair and rosy, to deep and olive, this hair color not only fits all skin tones, but can be paired with lighter shades to achieve an ombré effect or can be darkened with espresso lowlights to give it a sultry twist. And this versatility means that hazelnut hair can be personalized to work with any complexion, which is why it will be this season’s most versatile shade.
So what is it about hazelnut hair that people keep coming back to? It is the aesthetics and how easy it is. As well as looking good, this shade is good in a practical sense as well, and it really does transform your garden into something very special for just a small amount of effort. Pairing the nutty tint with fall color palettes will complete a perfect earthy look with your hair matching any outfit you decide to wear from sleek fall coat to cozy sweater.
Hazelnut hair is a warm, inviting shade that feels as comforting as a hot drink on a chilly day, offering a multidimensional brunette with hints of gold, caramel, and subtle red for an effortlessly natural appearance, much like a perfect latte with swirls of caramel and cinnamon.
Achieving the ideal hazelnut hair color is a blend of art and science, whether you’re at a salon or trying a DIY approach, and with the right advice, it’s entirely possible to make this trend work for you by highlighting your best features.
Visiting your hairstylist for an initial consultation is crucial for a successful new look, as they can help you achieve that ‘soft, medium brown with neutral, warm undertones’ unique to hazelnut, ensuring the color perfectly complements your skin tone and personal style, whether you prefer subtle or bold highlights.
So if you’re game, here’s how you can get hazelnut hair at home. But it can sound intimidating, and with the right products and a little patience you will be able to achieve that salon finish. Begin with choosing the right high quality hair dye that includes the right mix of warm and neutral tones. Bashed in them are a good choice for people with lighter hair, but for those who wear darker hair, a gentler pre-lightening may be in order for you to really see those golden under tones.
To maintain the vibrancy and freshness of your hazelnut hair, it’s essential to use color-safe products that nourish and protect, opting for sulfate-free shampoos and moisturizing conditioners that keep hair hydrated and prevent color fading, like Amika’s Hydro Rush Intense Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner.
In addition to regular washing, incorporating a deep conditioning hair mask, such as the Soulfood Nourishing Hair Mask, into your routine is vital, especially during colder months when hair tends to dry out, ensuring your hair remains well-moisturized for a rich and shiny hazelnut color.
Hair glosses can be a phenomenal (or extra) boost of vibrancy. These products can keep the color bright, and provide a sleek finish to the color. Feeling a little tawdry? Remove, refresh, renew slash enhance your color with gloss — whether you head to an in salon pro or choose something like Pureology’s Color Fanatic Top Coat + Tone a fast, easy at home option — it’ll make it look like you just stepped out of the salon.
It is not only its color, but the beauty of hazelnut hair is actually in its adaptability. There are so many styles and shades to use as this hue lends itself to hazelnut mocha, hazelnut blonde, toasted hazelnut and caramel hazelnut. Along with the classic hazelnut variation, each offers a unique twist making finding the look that works in your personal style and seasonal preference an easy option.
There’s hazelnut pink ombré, glazed hazelnut, and whatever else your imagination can dream up. The versatility of hazelnut hair is what makes it a must-have season— it is an opportunity to perk up your look with a warm, friendly hue that works to spice up your style with sophistication and effortless chic charm.
