The Expensive Brunette: How to Get the Hair Color of Your Dreams Without Breaking the Bank

We all know that lighter, sun-kissed hair colors are a summer hair staple. But what if we told you that this season’s most talked-about color trend allows brunette beauties the option of staying within their natural hair color range? The Expensive Brunette is everything but: deep, glossy shades of brown provide a low-maintenance-yet-updated versions of the hair you were born with. Multi-tonal or monotone, Satin has an extensive array of brunette shades that are rich in depth and shine heavy, giving you plenty of options to create the hottest hair color summer has ever seen. Strike it rich without breaking the bank!  

Dark Chocolate
If you’re a fair-skinned, light-eyed beauty, darker brunette hues play beautifully off your skin. The warmth of Satin shades like 3N, 4N, and 5N draw attention to your eyes, making the color pop. Dark Chocolate is the perfect low-maintenance hair color for those with minimal gray who are looking to enhance the brown they were born with. 

Golden Caramel
Achieved with subtle blended highlights, this color combo complements most skin types and makes hair (and skin) appear healthy. Satin has a Gold palette that makes this possible by using shades 4G, 5G, and 6G. Brunettes need highlights to lift only one shade lighter to keep the look as natural as possible. 

Chocolate Cherry
Looking for that redhead boldness without a full commit? Look no further than the sweet Chocolate Cherry combination. A rich brown base acts as the anchor and can be combined with variations of complementary rose, red, and copper undertones. The resulting dimension is the cherry on top. Choose from Satin 5R or 5RC. 

Mahogany Brown
An even blend of brown and red hues, the resulting combination looks amazing on both warm and cool skin tones. This sought-after shade can be customized to lean more toward the darker side for a classic, more elegant effect, or it can play heavier with the red for a more vivid tonal effect. Try a combination of Satin 5MOCHA/6MV or 4G/5M. 

Important to note: The key to making the Expensive Brunette trend look expensive is applying a gloss to enhance the shine of the hair color. Our Satin CL is a clear gloss that gives brown hues a much-needed boost between color applications. Use as directed once color begins to fade.
