Every single time the spring season rolls around, we're told to go lighter with our hair color, in order to reflect the longer days and warmer temperatures. We love that seasonal shift, but this year, we're thinking of turning it on its head and going for something richer and deeper.
Especially after seeing chestnut hair colors all over Pinterest—and on our favorite celebs, we're sold and ready to make a change. Before you schedule an appointment, check out our favorite A-list sources of inspiration.
Chesnut Hair
Choosing a Shade: Make sure you consider skin tone before taking the plunge— take inspiration from your fave celeb if you can't decide.
Maintenance Level: Color should fade seamlessly but highlights might need some upkeep.
Goes Great With: Most skin tones and undertones
Similar Shades: Try out the Illuminated Brunette trend, or enhance a dark brunette hue with highlights.
Price: Varies per salon. Your base color will also impact the cost.
