Sunkissed Locks: It's All About Auburn Hair This Spring

Summer Hair Trends: All About Auburn

While bold hair color hues and blonde were huge hair trends for black women last year, it's all about embracing the burn (Auburn to be clear, not anything in the first, second, or third degree) this Spring. Auburn is a vibrant brown shade that varies in tone from copper to rust to cinnamon. It pops severely on brown skin, and is universally flattering on lighter and darker skin.

We first saw the trend first takeoff when Teyana Taylor rocked the color back in January while out on the beach with her family. Then, Rihanna rocked the color flawlessly at the 2017 Grammy Awards in February. Since then, we've seen the color everywhere—and for good reason! Check out the lovely ladies below SLAY this hair color trend.
