The most attractive hair colours in Australia
What counts as the “most attractive” hair colour is personal — the best shade is the one that flatters your skin tone and suits your style. That said, a few rich, natural tones are perennial favourites in Australia, and warm browns in particular have surged in popularity. Here are five of the most loved shades, each available in the Lover’s Hair Salon Colouring Shampoo range so you can try them at home.
Australia loves a warm brown
Trend data backs up what salons see every day: warm browns — chestnut in particular — have become some of the most requested shades in Australia, prized for being rich, versatile and flattering across a wide range of skin tones. They’re a natural-looking choice that adds warmth and shine without going dramatically lighter or darker.
Five of the most attractive shades
Chestnut Brown
Rich but warm, chestnut brown balances depth with a golden glow — which is exactly why it’s become one of Australia’s most requested colours. It suits a wide range of skin tones and adds natural-looking warmth and shine.
Natural Black
A timeless colour that reads as sophisticated and sleek. A rich, cool-toned black is a long-standing favourite for those who want a polished, high-contrast look.
Dark Brown
A deep, warm brown that’s softer than black but still rich. Dark brown is endlessly flattering and an easy, natural-looking choice for everyday elegance.
Mahogany Brown
A deep reddish-brown that adds a touch of drama and dimension. Mahogany catches the light beautifully and is lovely for anyone who wants warmth with a hint of red.
Brown
A classic medium brown — sophisticated, natural and versatile. A great choice if you want a rich, even colour that doesn’t stray far from your natural tone.
How to choose the shade that suits you
- Consider your skin’s undertone: warm undertones love chestnut and mahogany; cooler undertones suit natural black and neutral browns.
- Stay close to your natural base for the most natural-looking result and easier upkeep.
- Think about maintenance: richer, all-over tones tend to grow out more gracefully than high-contrast looks.
- When in doubt, go warm: warm browns are flattering on most people and very on-trend in Australia.
Try the look at home with Lover’s Hair Salon
All five shades are available in the Lover’s Hair Salon Colouring Shampoo range. It colours as you shampoo — applied by hand to wet hair, with quick coverage in around 7–8 minutes — and is ammonia-free, enriched with henna, squid ink and oriental herb extracts, with soybean protein to help protect the hair cuticle and keep hair looking healthy and silky.
Always patch-test first. Like most hair colourants, Lover’s Hair Salon Colouring Shampoo contains hair-dye ingredients (including p-Phenylenediamine, or PPD), which can cause an allergic reaction in some people. Do a patch test 48 hours before each use as directed, don’t use it on an irritated scalp, and stop if any reaction occurs. For external use only.
