Brunette, But Make It Personal

Brunette hair is anything but one-dimensional. From deep, glossy tones to soft, light-reflecting browns, there are so many ways to wear brunette — and the magic is in choosing the right version for you.

At KGHD, we talk a lot about custom colour, and brunette is one of the most personalised shades you can wear. Here’s how we break it down in the salon so you know exactly what to ask for.

Brunette by Shade

Dark Brunette Almost black-brown, dark brunette is deep, rich and dramatic. It’s perfect if you love a bold, glossy finish with maximum depth.

Medium Brunette The classic brown — not too light, not too dark. This shade is timeless, versatile and works beautifully for a natural, polished look.

Light Brunette Brown with noticeable blonde or caramel tones, often referred to as bronde. It’s softer, brighter and great if you want movement and light without going fully blonde.

Brunette by Undertone

Warm Brunette Think golden, caramel, chestnut or subtle red hints. Warm brunettes glow beautifully and feel rich and inviting.

Cool Brunette Ashy, smoky or bluish-brown tones that feel sleek and modern. Ideal if you prefer a cooler, more muted finish.

Neutral Brunette Balanced and perfectly in-between — not too warm, not too cool. A safe, flattering option that suits a wide range of skin tones.

Brunette by Colour Family

Chocolate Brunette Deep, rich brown with warmth — glossy, luxurious and endlessly wearable.

Chestnut Brunette A brown base with subtle red undertones that add depth and softness.

Ash Brunette Muted, grey-brown tones for a cool, understated look.

Espresso Brunette Very dark, cool-toned brown with a sleek, high-shine finish.

Mahogany Brunette Brown mixed with noticeable red or purple tones — bold, dimensional and full of character.

Brunette by Depth & Dimension

Solid Brunette One uniform shade from root to end for a clean, classic finish.

Highlighted Brunette Brown with lighter ribbons running through it — think caramel, honey or ash for added softness and movement.

Balayage Brunette Soft, blended lightening through the ends that gives dimension while keeping the brunette base intact.

The KGHD Take

Brunette isn’t just one colour — it’s a whole spectrum. Shade, undertone, colour family and dimension all play a part in creating a brunette that feels right for you.

When you know the language, you can ask for exactly what you want — and that’s where truly beautiful hair begins 🤎
