Bambi Brunette

Bambi Brunette is autumn 2025's major hair colour trend, offering soft dimension, warmth, and a velvety finish that’s both modern and flattering on a wide range of skin tones.

What Is Bambi Brunette?

Bambi Brunette takes its name from the luminous, doe-eyed warmth inspired by classic animated characters and blends caramel and beige undertones with a rich brunette foundation.

This modern twist results in a glossy, multi-layered brown that never reads flat, combining elegance and depth for a radiant, seasonal update.

Salon Secrets to Achieving the Look

When heading to the salon, request a soft brunette base accented with fine, warm caramel highlights, particularly around the face and mid-lengths. These touches should be subtle and seamlessly blended—think gentle ribbons of colour, not bold stripes—to create natural-looking dimension and maximise shine.

Subtle highlights

Professional colourists use advanced placement techniques and gloss treatments to achieve the Bambi Brunette’s signature reflective effect. Studio lighting, high-shine rinses, and tailored toners bring out that velvety, doe-eyed finish that’s both wearable and glamorous.

Maintenance Tips to Keep It Glossy

  • Use colour-safe shampoo, such as L'Oréal Elvive Colour Protect or Aveda Colour Conserve, to maintain vibrancy between appointments.

  • Incorporate at-home shine treatments or serums—Goldwell Dualsenses Color Extra Rich 60 Sec Treatment and Living Proof Perfect Hair Day High-Shine Gloss are recommended by top stylists for preserving that salon-fresh look.

  • Schedule in-salon gloss treatments every few weeks for unbeatable radiance and healthy results.

  • Regular trims and deep conditioning will keep ends looking rich and prevent fading.

Expert Insights on Suitability

Bambi Brunette works for those wanting warmth and richness without going too dark or heavy, a particularly flattering choice for autumn and winter. Its bespoke blending means it can be tailored for various hair lengths and textures, including lobs, bobs, pixie cuts, and waves.
