Celebrities and Leading Stylists are on the Same Page—These Brunette Hair Trends Should Be on Your Summer Bookmark List.

      Although I've experimented with various hair color trends over the years, from balayage to highlights, I'm definitely a brunette at heart. I don't foresee completely abandoning my natural color, but that doesn't mean I'm not interested in making subtle changes for the summer. That’s where the professionals come in. I wanted to learn about the top summer hair trends for brunettes, so I contacted Christel Barron-Hough, an award-winning colorist and the founder and creative director of STIL Salon, to find out which brunette styles to look out for this season. Below, you’ll discover many chic suggestions, whether you're looking for a minor adjustment or something more dramatic. Personally, all of these trends feel distinctly summery, and I'm eager to show my hairdresser and try one myself.

      **4 Major Summer Hair Trends for Brunettes**

      1. **In-Between Brown**

      

       This might be my favorite hair color trend of the season: 'In-Between Brown.' "This is an updated take on sun-kissed brown, featuring a perfect in-between shade with naturally lightened ends," Barron-Hough describes. "It can be customized for both warm and cool undertones, as the tones can be intensified or softened. We love to hand-paint lighter strands with a high-lift color and gloss the roots and ends in between using a semi-permanent hair dye."

       Even celebrities are loving it! Just look at how stunning Camila Morrone's hair looks.

      2. **Spiced Brunette**

      

       If you want a fresh change, spiced brunette is a perfect choice. "This color trend is vibrant and infused with warm shades like gold and red," says Barron-Hough. "We love it as an all-over gloss for maximum shine."

       Daisy Edgar-Jones recently showcased her new spiced brunette at the Saint Laurent Menswear Spring/Summer 2027 show during Paris Fashion Week, and I'm completely enamored.

      3. **Deep Summer Brunette**

      

       Looking for something with a bit more richness? Deep summer brunette exudes quiet luxury. "[This trend] embodies drama and intrigue," notes Barron-Hough. "It's a blend between dark brown and pure black. This makes an excellent semi-permanent option, adding depth and gloss to the hair. It looks particularly chic with a bob."

       This hair trend undoubtedly appears stylish during the summer.

      

       **Get the Look:**

       - **Color Wow**: Extra Mist-Ical Shine Spray

       I haven’t found a hair oil that offers a glossy effect quite like this one.

      4. **Sweet Like Chocolate**

      

       Finally, this fashionable chocolatey brown shade is a must-try. "This is the quintessential brown hair trend sported by celebrities like Peggy Gou, Kendall Jenner, Dua Lipa, and more," explains Barron-Hough. "It's all about enhancing the natural hair color with depth and emphasizing warmer tones such as brunettes and gold."

       To achieve this look, Barron-Hough suggests layering different shades and brunette levels for a natural yet vibrant appearance. "It can also be customized for warm or cool skin tones by adding warmth or muting the brunette shades for a more subdued effect," she advises.

      

       **Get the Look:**

       - **Davines**: Alchemic Shampoo Chocolate

       A shampoo that cleanses while enhancing your chocolate brown strands? Yes, please!
