The Colour of the Season: Truffle Brunette

If you're thinking about refreshing your hair colour this autumn and winter, Truffle Brunette is one to consider.

I recently spoke to Red magazine about Lily James' gorgeous brunette shade, and it's the perfect example of why rich, glossy browns are having such a moment.

What Is Truffle Brunette?

Think of cutting into a chocolate truffle. It looks like one rich chocolate colour, but when you look closer, there are lots of different tones within it.

Truffle Brunette is exactly that. A beautiful blend of chocolate, mocha and soft beige tones that creates depth, shine and natural-looking dimension.

Why I Love It

It's a lovely way to refresh brunette hair without a dramatic change, and it's also perfect if you're blonde and thinking about going darker.

The key is keeping the lighter tones soft and seamless, rather than having obvious highlights.

It can be tailored to suit your skin tone, natural colour and hair texture, making it a really flattering option for so many people.

My advice? Ask your hairdresser for a rich brunette with subtle dimension and a glossy finish. Take a few inspiration pictures along to your appointment, too.

For me, Truffle Brunette is the perfect combination of rich colour, beautiful shine and effortless-looking hair.
