30 Examples Of Strawberry Brown Hair That'll Give You Hair Envy

As your next hair appointment draws closer, you might be wondering about the newest hair colors and styles to pop off on Instagram and TikTok. From champagne blonde to white-gold platinum, there are several looks that are particularly popular right now, some of which are definitely worth considering if you're looking for a change.

Strawberry brunette is one trendy dye job that has been worn by celebrities and social media users alike, taking everything we love about the elusive strawberry blonde and combining it with well-known shades of brown (per PopSugar). As a result, berry-kissed brunette looks have been on the rise, flooding #strawberrybrown and #strawberrybrunette on Instagram.

While experts admit that red tones typically require a lot of maintenance, we can't help but fall in love with the beautiful red-brown hair colors filling our feeds. To find the inspiration for your own salon visit, we've gathered some of the most envy-inducing looks we could find.

Strawberry brown makes for a great all-over dye color, but that's definitely not the only way to wear the shade. With a dynamic mixture of orangey-red hues, this look from @sarahcolormaker shows the versatility of the trend. Specifically, we love how vibrant the color looks at the ends of the hair, nearly creating an ombré effect.

For your own strawberry brown look, feel free to play around with how and where you feature your mixture of red and orange tones.

As mentioned, there's a lot of room to play around with the placement of your strawberry brown tones, with this look from @femmebeautylounge_orland being a solid example. We love how this gingersnap-inspired color sits close to the face, fading into the more subtle brown shades as it goes.

Although definitely more low-key, this style is reminiscent of the popular color-blocking technique, which uses partial dyeing in contrasting colors to produce an interesting, bold look (per L'Oréal Paris USA).

Strawberries often invoke spring and summer vibes, but autumnal color schemes also provide inspiration for strawberry brown tones. This can be seen in the Instagram photo from @_nuhair, who features an orangey brunette color on beautiful, voluminous curls. With its brunette undercurrents, this shade is definitely worth considering for those interested in combining red, orange, and brown tones for a strawberry look that gives all the fall feels.

For similar colors, check out the looks from @camilotv.estilista and @mindyhair_coloredwigs_kiki.

Copper-colored hair has been super trendy lately, so it makes sense that this is one shade that would be readily incorporated into the myriad tones that make up strawberry brunette dye jobs. We love how the copper-toned brunette looks in the photo from @beautyxsyd, which features the color on beautiful, natural curls.

Possibly inspired by Keke Palmer's own red-hued curls, which were featured on Glamour Magazine's Instagram page, this orangey-red color is sure to provide you with plenty of strawberry inspiration.

Many of these envy-inducing examples feature strawberry brown tones on long hair, but it's actually a shade suited to all lengths. This inspo pic from @hairloungehelsinki features a cute, choppy bob, and proves just how versatile the color is.

On top of that, this look reminds us of Barbie Ferreira's own strawberry brown hairdo, which is sported on a similar style. No matter what length you're going for, this red-tinted brunette color is sure to make your hair shine.

Curtain bangs have seen a lot of hype recently, being worn by celebrities like Priyanka Chopra, Daisy Edgar-Jones, and Kelly Rowland. For the uninitiated, curtain bangs are a type of fringe that frames the face just like curtains frame a window (per Vogue). Inspired by hairstyles of the '60s and '70s, the modernized version of these bangs is both flattering and versatile.

This fringe also works great with the strawberry brown hair color, which can be seen in this look from @dreamhairbycelaa. If you're wondering what hairstyle to pair with your new dye job, curtain bangs are definitely worth consideration.

Beach waves are a classic, easy-to-do hairstyle that works on almost every texture and length, making it a great option for everyday looks. Infusing the hair with an easy-going, textured appearance, the beach wave is also perfect for showing off the many red, orange, and brown shades of the strawberry brunette hair color. For an example of this combo, check out the Instagram pic from @terezavlas.akova, which features a rich lovely red tint on gently tousled waves.

Using an ombré technique for your strawberry brunette dye job is also another interesting, stylish way to wear the trendy color. If you're unfamiliar, Jafra Bryant, celebrity and editorial hair colorist, tells Byrdie: "Technically, ombré hair color and word definition is a degradation of colors from dark to light or light to dark."

As an example, check out the auburn-inspired look from @number76_jack, which shows off the shade on loose waves. On top of looking cool, ombré designs are a good option for those who want to test out strawberry brown but aren't ready to commit completely.

Speaking of pink, another way to approach the ombré look is by incorporating pink tones into your strawberry hair color. This is done beautifully in the photo from @lesciseauxde.fanny, which shows off a pink and strawberry ombré on top of a brunette color.

We already mentioned that ombré designs are great for trying something new, but it's also less maintenance than other dye jobs. "Ombré can last a long time depending on the type of highlights you start with and personal preference of how much root you prefer," explains hair colorist Jafra Bryant (per Brydie).

A balayage look is a great way to incorporate strawberry tones into your existing brunette color. As explained on Good Housekeeping, the term balayage refers to the technique used to apply color to the hair, which consists of a hand painting method that creates a soft, brushed look. According to hairstylist Desirae Blais, this technique "allow[s] for pops of brightness and contrast throughout the hair, while still keeping it looking natural."

For an example of well this hair dyeing method works with the strawberry color, check out this inspiration pic from @ashlbhair.

If you want to incorporate pink more overtly into your strawberry brunette look, then @Jade__ly has the perfect inspiration for you. In this look, a peek-a-boo layer of bright pink is featured underneath a strawberry brown shade, adding both interest and style to the overall dye job.

For those unaware, peek-a-boo highlights, sometimes referred to as under-dye, is a coloring technique that places dye on the innermost layer of the hair, so that the color "peeks" through the top layer of your locks (per Hair). As you can see, the resulting effect is super eye-catching.

The next envy-inducing look on our list comes from @_pearcolor, who features a brunette shade enriched with dark red on a long-layered haircut. As mentioned in the TikTok from @missvivian.le, burgundy-inspired chocolate strawberry hair tones aren't uncommon in K-dramas, so it makes sense that this inspiration photo reminds us so much of Shin Hye Park's dark red color.

While strawberry brunette can definitely be worn as a bold, eye-catching shade, you don't have to go for a special dye technique or bright color to rock the trendy tone. The potential subtlety of the color is brought to life in this Instagram photo from @wickedpixiehair, who features a slight red tint on a rich shade of brown.

For those looking for a more low-key take on the fad, this is definitely the inspiration pic for you.

An additional subtle take on the strawberry brunette hair color comes from @hairxcflo, who features a barely-there look on a thick, slightly wavy hairstyle. This chocolate strawberry hairdo is even more light-handed than the other example, but still creates a beautiful, red-tinted look that is sure to catch the sunlight in a beautiful way.

If the beautiful color isn't enough for you, then you'll surely feel envious of the long, luxurious locks that it's featured on.

Money pieces are a type of face-framing highlight that are super trendy, rocked by stars such as Kylie Jenner, Lizzo, and Bella Thorne. Hair colorist Natalia Romaniuc explains the many appeals of this look, stating, "This technique works on any color of hair and really can suit everyone ... the money pieces can pop when you choose a color three to four shades brighter to achieve the full impact" (per Glamour).

We love how @kacis_color_n_cuts integrates blonde money piece highlights into this strawberry brown hair color, creating a cool, fashionable contrast flattering to the face, just as the Romaniuc mentions.
