Rose-brown is the prettiest new hair color for brunettes

It’s no surprise to see pastel-inspired hair colors begin trending just as spring rolls around, because it’s the perfect time of the year to lighten up our looks. In the past, we’ve seen glitter balayage, galaxy-inspired dye jobs and smoky lilac become popular.

The color du jour is rose-brown and it’s becoming the style to rock in 2018!

Perhaps the best thing about rose-brown is that the color works for brunettes.

So often, the pastel hair trends require already being a blonde or bleaching all of your hair in order to to really see the rainbow of colors.

Not with this look — it’s definitely more subtle!

According to Allure, we have hairstylist Thi Thao Tu, who works out of the salon UltraFade in Sydney, Australia, to thank for starting this trend.

It all began with this Instagram post. And the rest was history! More and more photos of this rose-brown hair color started popping up online, because the color is just so pretty.

If you’re thinking you might want to try rose-gold hair yourself, here’s what you’ll need to know before seeing a stylist.

To achieve this look, Tu told Allure he used a combination of bleach, Olaplex (a treatment that rebuilds broken hair) and various brown and red dyes.
