Trust Me: This Is the Rich-Looking Hair Colour That Will Be Everywhere This Spring

When I think of spring hair colours, I often think of ashy blonde, balayage and other sun-kissed tones that can brighten and warm the hair for the sunnier months. I tend to leave my dark brunette locks behind, knowing that I'll revive my natural colour when autumn rolls back around. However, this spring I'm tempted to ditch the bleach altogether, because there's a new hair-colour trend taking over, and there's not a hint of blonde in sight.
I'm talking about chocolate brown hair. This warm, glossy shade has been popping up all over my Instagram and TikTok feeds, with celebrities such as Dakota Johnson and Bella Hadid giving it a go. In fact, we just saw Hailey Bieber show off her new chocolatey locks at the 2024 Super Bowl, and it's safe to say that I'm a little bit obsessed.
If you're not yet familiar with this hair colour, the clue is in the name. This deep brunette hue practically oozes sophistication thanks to its rich, glossy finish, and I happen to think that chocolate shades make hair look so healthy. The best bit about this colour is that it's super low-maintenance, making it the perfect choice for the spring and summer months. Don't believe me? Keep on scrolling to see some recent chocolate brown hair looks that I can't get enough of. Trust me: these pics will have you running to the salon.
