Bronze Is Going To Be A Major Hair Colour This Autumn. Here's All The Inspo You Need

They say you can't beat a classic, but one of the biggest hair colour trends heading down the tracks for autumn proves that, actually, you can. Bronze hair is here to take brunettes to the next level, and it'll give complexions a boost in the process. We like those credentials a lot.

With the days set to get shorter and darker, we need something to add a little glow back into our appearance and bronze hair does exactly that. Even better (good news for the minimalists), it's nothing too crazy. Instead it's a simple wearable tweak that makes hair look phenomenal and brighten's skin during dreary winter. The warm, luminous tones act like a built-in ring light, especially when applied in face-framing sections.

And, if you've been on the fence about whether to try something more drastic, it nods to the metallic copper hair trend vibe that's also massive this season, but in a more low-key, timeless way.

We spotted a phenomenal rendition of the hair colour created by pro hair stylist, James Earnshaw, who makes a good point. “Not all transformations have to be overly creative,” he explains, “sometimes something simple and gorgeous is enough.” 

To keep it modern we've seen a rooty bronze emerge as the way to wear it. By incorporating it balayage-style through hair it means the upkeep is far more low maintenance and it can grow out much more softly without leaving tidelines.

We're also fans of switching it up with dip-dye ends or ombre gradients, or halo it around your hairline with bronze moneypiece highlights.

Tactical highlights can lick the ends of coils and curls with pretty bronze accents to emphasise beautiful texture and movement whilst adding extra warm tones.

And, if you want to go extra (we always do) you can take the trend a step further by matching bronze hair to your makeup with toasted lip colours and and molten metallics on eyes.
