I spent the last few years watching dark brown get treated like a background color, the thing you bleach over or highlight to death.

I’ve been seeing more brunettes in the salon chair next to mine.

I keep seeing it in the chair next to mine: a curly client asking for something unexpected. Deep indigo. Pastel rose gold. A burgundy that reads almost black in dim light and glows red in the sun. The trend for 2027 isn’t one color, it’s a spectrum. This roundup has 27 versions of Hair Color 2027 for Curly Hair, from low-maintenance root shadows to full-on vivids.

I kept seeing the same thing in salon chairs next to mine. Not full bleach, not a bold fashion colour, but balayage that started at the root and softened toward the ends.

I’ve been watching the salon chair next to mine all spring. Every brown-haired woman walked out with highlights that looked softer than what I saw last year. Not chunky, not subtle to the point of invisible. Somewhere in between. This roundup of 25 ideas for Highlights on Brown Hair 2027 covers that middle ground: from low-upkeep caramel that hides a root line to ash blonde that needs a toner at week six.

I’ve been seeing copper everywhere this year, and not just on Instagram. At my salon, three women in a row asked for it. It’s not the same old auburn, it’s brighter, more intentional.
