Multiple Tones of Auburn

For optimal results, avoid heat styling and make time for at least one deep conditioning treatment per week to maintain healthy locks and keep color vibrant and luminous.
Sunset Auburn
With its soft glow and natural sophistication, sun-kissed auburn hue is the ideal way to achieve natural and sophisticated beauty. Popular among actors, models and influencers like Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner who want their redhead appearance without looking bright or bold, this sun-kissed auburn shade has quickly become one of their go-tos for effortless redhead looks.

Speak with your stylist about which method would work best for you; once done, the result will be an original and personalized shade tailored specifically to you based on complexion, eye color and heat protecting products used during maintenance.
