Iced Espresso Hair Is the New Way to Go Brunette

Publish date: 2024-05-09

An iced espresso sounds so refreshing at the moment, am I right? And iced espresso hair is also the name of the most refreshing look of the summer: a cool brown shade that's flattering on so many skin tones.

While many are opting to lighten for a sun-kissed glow, a darker shade is easier to maintain and will make you stand out in a crowd of cookie-cutter blondes. Plus, it's got more of a high-end vibe—every Insta model and her mother flirts with honey hair, but a dark, silky mane is mysterious and sexy. Think Ana de Armas in the new James Bond

“Brunette color appears more vibrant when a little darker than your usual ‘comfort zone,’ especially with a summer tan,” says Rex Jimieson, colorist at Maxine Salon in Chicago. He advises clients to “stay within one to two levels of your natural hair so the grow-out doesn’t appear too light, giving it the illusion of sparseness.”
