35 Examples Of Bronze Hair That Will Give You Serious Hair Envy

Bronze hair is one of the go-to hair colors, especially for people who are just beginning to color their hair. It is one of those hair colors that work with just about anyone. From brunettes who want to go a tad lighter, to blondes who want to go a bit darker, a bronze hairstyle is simply gorgeous and doesn't require much maintenance. Whether you gain hair inspiration from Pinterest or your favorite celebrities' Instagram pages, there are so many examples of people that can rock bronze hair. Jennifer Lopez is a fine example of a celebrity who has totally owned the bronze hair look.

Styling bronze hair is so fun as the options are seemingly endless. It also appears that many people with this shade of hair don't even call it bronze. Other names of hair colors and shades that fall under the general bronze category include caramel, warm or golden blonde, and cinnamon. Bronze hair is an example of a hair color that everyone was asking for in 2021, and it has proven that it is here to stay even after two years.

Thinking about changing up your hair color and maybe even your hairstyle? Check out these examples of bronze hair that will give you some serious hair envy.

This golden bronze balayage look is a great idea for people who have naturally brunette hair that are looking to transition into lighter-toned hair. If you have been wanting to be bold and try something new, this is your sign. All it will do is add some lighter tones and dimension to your natural color. Of course, there will be a major difference, especially if your hair was naturally very dark. But balayage creates a very natural look of the lighter pieces being intertwined with the darker pieces, so it's definitely worth a try.

Now, you may look at this person's hair and just see blonde. But it is a very warm blonde that some may identify with as more of a very light, bronze tone. These tight curls can either be left in as is — as they can make any outfit extra classy — or you can also brush the curls out for a more natural, barrel curl look. If you do choose to style your hair with these tighter curls, this lighter tone of bronze can really show off the new color.

Another fun way to incorporate some bronze tones into your hair is by throwing a little bit of cinnamon swirl into the mix. This look can be super fun to do during the fall season, after all, who doesn't love some cinnamon spice and everything nice? Sorry, we had to.

If your hair is naturally dark, this look is probably a bit more attainable. However, it is definitely achievable for anyone, as long as you're willing to spend the time and money on it. But keep in mind, this particular shade is a bit more high-maintenance.  

Pin-straight hair is a staple look for anyone. It is sleek, sexy, elegant, and casual — it really checks all of the boxes. When your hair is long, pin-straight hair looks magnificent.

If you use the best products for your hair type and then straighten it after applying said products, you can achieve maximum shine for a glossy look. Long bronze hair can be good for any time of year and any occasion. 

However, straightening hair can be tricky if your hair is naturally curly. Try investing in a high-quality hair straightener to reduce the chances of breakage and to get the job done in the quickest way possible.

Believe it or not, there are actually a ton of benefits to layering your hair. It adds volume to the entirety of your hair and allows your locks to move a bit more freely. Plus, it's just really pretty. Bronze hair color with layers has a very bouncy and weightless effect to it.

Although layers can sometimes be tricky to keep back in a ponytail, the pros most definitely outweigh the cons. If you're an athlete or somebody who loves wearing their hair up, there is nothing a little hairspray, bobby pins, or a headband can't fix. 

The same, but different. This honeycomb bronze is a rather specific hair color that is bright on the bottom and darker toward the root. There is an extremely subtle — almost invisible — transition from the darker color in the root traveling down near the tip of the locks. Some more tiny blonde highlights are thrown into the mix to contrast with the root, but you can see the overall color has a very honeycomb tint that appears a bit warm.

A bob is one thing, but what about an angled bob? The only difference really is the angle itself, with the hair being a tad longer in the front and shorter in the back. 

This could be a fun look to try if you want a fresh new cut. Plus, if you want an updated color too, try the dark bronze look for a little bit of spice. And if you don't love it, just go back to the salon and have the hairdresser make it all one length again by trimming down the front. Easy enough.

Angles are always going to be a winner in our book. This style works for both short and long hair. Jennifer Anniston is known for her long angled hair. This look frames the face well and adds a lot of volume, similar to layers. The key difference between layers and angles is the lengths of the hair in various areas. In angled hair, one side of the head (can be the back, left, or right) typically has shorter hair than the bottom lengths of other sides. If you're skeptical about bangs but want shorter pieces in the front, this is definitely the way to go.

Nobody can go wrong with some gorgeous, bronzed braids. They are stunning and a definite statement. Braids in general are really breathtaking, but when you add bronze into the mix, it is beautiful to see the interwoven different shades of color throughout someone's head of hair.

If you are going out in a plain dress that is one solid color, the braids could be a really unique and interesting way to add some more personal flare to the look. Or, even if you are just running errands all day. Braids can be perfect for any occasion, it just depends on how you style them. 

A copper bronze is a great idea for those people who are a rather dark brunette naturally, and want to change it up with something that isn't too light. 

This copper bronze shade keeps your natural root looking pretty dark, with quite a bit of copper bronze highlights in there to brighten up the entire head. You can see the color naturally fades into something a bit lighter and more coppery. In this picture, you can see that the model has it wavy, but any style or length could rock this chic color.

If you want to try something different, give this a go and then if you want more, just go more blonde-bronze each time you go to the hair salon.

Warm for the fall? Yes, please. Warm for the summer, though? Sure, let's give it a try. Year round warmth is totally attainable, you just need to be willing to maintain it every so often at the salon. This warm toned bronze is perfect for any time of year. You can rock it in the summer to enhance your tan glow, or you can style it in the winter time to add even more warmth next to the fireplace. 

Copper is a shade of bronze that has definitely been trending more in recent years. Some celebrities that have rocked the copper hair color trend include Gigi Hadid, Jessica Chastain, Emma Stone, and Zendaya for a brief period.

A lot of people may think copper hair is only for those with pale skin and light eyes. Think again, ladies and gents. Copper hair looks great on everyone of any skin tone. It is a jaw-dropper statement for sure.

Whether it be a natural sun-kissed look or a salon-made sun-kissed color, creating this look is definitely worthwhile. 

Imagine you are leaving the beach after a long day. You get home, shower, and look in the mirror. Since when is your hair so light?! This is what we're going for here. These natural bits and pieces of your hair can add the ultimate glow to your face — a look you might be after in warmer months. 

Or, are you sick of feeling plain and pale in the winter? Try this look during the holiday season to add some brightness to those cold, dull days.

A darker root with some bronze pieces that get bigger and bigger the further down the hair you go, is a great look for people with naturally dark hair that want a change in their life. Who said changing your hairstyle isn't the answer to your problems?

The dark roots transitioning into the bronze color is a statement, but at the same time extremely subtle. This will allow her natural hair to grow out without it looking too obvious that there is some dye in there too.

If bright isn't bright enough, try a super intense brightness by adding in some super bright golden bronze highlights to your hair. You could even dye your whole head of hair a super bright bronze color, if you don't think highlights will do the job.

This will make your whole face shine, and it will be super complimentary to your hair if it has a bit of depth and darker shades of brown to it. The colors will pop like a tree in autumn, and you will not regret it.

Achieving tight curls isn't as hard as it may seem. A really fun, unique hairstyle could be going for a short bob look. 

But, instead of it being your typical straight bob, you can go for a curly one. If your hair is naturally curly, you have it rather easy. If you need to curl it yourself, just invest in the thinnest curling iron you can find. The smaller the barrel, the tighter the curl. The more you practice at it, the easier it gets. Be sure to keep it locked in for the day with your favorite hairspray.

These tightly wound coiled curls are so gorgeous, and with a balayage look added to them, you're guaranteed to turn heads. Balayage hair is a natural transition from dark to light, and it is a hair-dying technique. People can oftentimes get confused and think that balayage is absolutely, totally different from highlighting. But in reality, it is just a different way of highlighting hair. The end result is a bit of a more natural look.

The term actually originates from the French word "balayer" which translates to "to sweep."
