Mushroom brown long layers
Trendy long cut · greyed beige brown
Ideal when you want depth without cooling the face like an ash brown.
Hair
Hair should not be too golden or orange. Soft neutral-warm browns are better: mushroom brown, cocoa, soft chestnut, beige brown and muted auburn-brown.
Visual examples
Soft chestnut collarbone lob
Medium length · muted warm chestnut
Very flattering on medium cuts because it adds life without looking strongly red.
Cocoa brown short bob
Polished short cut · soft neutral brown
An elegant short option instead of black, with less harshness near the face.
Honey beige brown long waves
Lightened long hair · blended dimension
Adds light, but it should stay blended to avoid yellow blonde.
Muted auburn shaggy bob
Medium-short · controlled copper brown
The key is brown first and copper second: warm, but not orange.
Dark beige blonde bixie
Textured short cut · soft dark blonde
The safer light option: beige, darker and muted, not platinum or ash.
Best hair shades
Warm chestnut, caramel brown, honey brown, soft copper brown, dark warm blonde, golden brown, and muted auburn.
Avoid
Avoid blue-black, ash blonde, platinum, icy highlights, and very high-contrast coloring.
