Warm & Toasty Brown Tones Are Set To Be A Major Summer 2023 Hair Trend

Blond is typically considered the unofficial hair color of summer, likely because of its reminiscence of the sun-bleached locks and natural sun-kissed highlights often associated with spending long days on warm sandy beaches. This year, however, is shaping up to be a bit of a disruptor when it comes to summer hair color trends. Time to rejoice, natural brunettes. Warm brown tones are the official it girl of summer 2023.

If you've been rocking blond and considering going dark this year, now is most definitely the time to take the plunge. Not sure which shade of brunette is right for you? Here are a few of the best toasty warm brown hair colors that are just begging to see the light of the summer sun. We're not saying to ignore important factors like your skin tone, your natural hair color, or your budget, but we are suggesting that you choose your favorite and go have a chat with your favorite hairstylist.
