My new season mood board is currently filled with dark, glossy hair colour trends. In particular, molten brunette shades. Recently, I've found myself Googling the best autumn hair colours for brunettes, and this rich, shiny hue keeps cropping up. Not only that, but I've seen it on so many celebrities, from Mia Goth to Bella Hadid. This colour is defined by its liquid-like shine (hence the name), making the hair look beautifully sleek yet fluid. It has a warm, chocolately base, with darker, cooler tones running throughout. The result is a multi-dimensional autumn/winter hair colour that looks seriously chic.
I went a little lighter in the summer months, but I'm keen to give the molten brunette hair trend a go now that the cold weather has started to settle in. I've been busy compiling lots of inspo pictures before my trip to the salon next week, and have shared some of my favourites below. While the colour is important, a trend like this also relies on hard-working styling products to help maintain the glass-like shine between salon visits. Therefore, I've also rounded up the best products for molten brunette hair, from nourishing hair oils to at-home gloss treatments and more. You can thank me later.
