CHOCOLATE

Single-shade colours are still an option and they are no better than when paired with the perfectly imperfect throwback bobs that are increasingly making an impact, with or without fringes cut in. “This summer there’s a nod to the ’90s in hair trends,” explains Rodney Wayne creative director Richard Kavanagh. “Brunettes are chocolate-y and natural with cool gold tones.”

Hair contouring, or using carefully placed, slightly lighter tones to flatter your features is ideal for brunettes according to Irwin. “You can also mix things up by using two slightly different reflects through the ends of the hair to create more movement without having to go blonder or darker,” she says.
