Light cinnamon brown hair offers a soft, natural look that complements almost all skin tones and hairstyles, from sleek ponytails to loose waves and braids.
For an eye-catching effect, ask your colorist to apply hand-painted highlights in a cinnamon hue. Highlights can create sun-kissed effect on brunettes or can brighten blonde locks by accentuating specific parts.
All-Over
Cinnamon brown hair is an elegant hue that enhances warm skin tones. Your stylist can add subtle highlights of cinnamon without bleaching; just remember to use heat protectant spray when styling to prevent damage to your locks.
Cinnamon is an inherently versatile hue, appearing more red under certain lighting and more brown under others. This look makes a striking accentuation to brunettes’ natural hair colors without going blonde.
Maya Rudolph has perfected the classic cinnamon shade in her blunt bob and over-directed side part, showing it at its most vibrant. When exposed to sunlight, its fiery hue becomes even more prominent; drawing out all of her skin’s warm tones. For an alternate take on this look, ask your stylist to apply cinnamon through balayage techniques on the entire mane of yours.
Balayage
For an effortless natural look, ask your stylist to apply cinnamon highlights using the balayage technique – it will help dark hair hold onto them better and won’t show up as stark in photos! Balayage also adds texture and lift like seen here with Keke Palmer.
Gigi Hadid’s light skin tones make her the ideal candidate for this vibrant yet realistic balayage shade that reads as both brown and red at once. To achieve this color, your stylist must first lighten up any dark roots.
Maintain your new hue with color-treated shampoo and conditioner to help your strands retain their hue longer and prevent its fast fading. To reduce overprocessing your locks, limit washing to three times weekly using either warm or cool water instead of hot.
Highlights
Cinnamon brown highlights offer an easy and flattering way to add color without going all out with a drastic shade change. This rich, reddish-brown shade appears more brown in some lights while showing more red hues when under different lighting, making it perfect for those seeking an overall warmer or cooler look.
Cinnaholics can add face-framing highlights like Rihanna and Solange Knowles by employing this style, which works on hair of any length and would look particularly elegant with waves.
Zoey Deutsch or Salma Hayek both possess dark brown locks, making highlights suitable for them. You may use either the balayage technique for subtler results, or opt for an ombre style; to achieve optimal results use a coloring system designed specifically for color-treated strands.
Faded
Cinnamon brown is an elegant choice when it comes to faded coloring, thanks to its warm shade with reddish and coppery undertones that compliment any hair texture – Khloe Kardashian and Rihanna have even adopted this trend with great success!
To prolong the vibrancy of your cinnamon brown hue, it’s essential that you utilize a comprehensive haircare routine designed specifically for colored locks. This will keep strands moisturized while protecting from heat styling tools which could speed up color fading.
Dark and Lovely’s Fade-Resistant Rich Conditioning Color offers an abundance of nourishing oils to promote healthy hair, making this cost-effective solution even more so. Additionally, its moisture seal technology reduces how much dye is required for touchups – further saving money over time!
Copper
Copper coloring can make an unforgettable statement when applied skillfully, as it combines warm brunette hues with just the right amount of reddish or coppery undertones, creating an eye-catching natural look.
Opting for an all-over copper wash offers a subtler way of adding color. This style complements all skin tones beautifully and can easily be maintained through regular hair mask treatments.
Emma Stone, Hayley Williams and Rose Leslie all rock a copper version of cinnamon brown hair color. Gigi Hadid tried out this shade as well and found that it perfectly complimented her fair skintone. For an enhanced look, your stylist can weave in highlights and lowlights into the cinnamon brown locks of their clients for added dimension and depth. For optimal color retention use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioners!
