If you're interested in trying mushroom brown hair, keep on reading and I'll tell you what is the best mushroom brown hair looks best for your skin tone and makes you a trend-setting fashionista.
What is mushroom brown hair?
Much of the inspiration for mushroom brown hair color comes from the ever-popular Portobello. Like a delicious mushroom, this color at first glance is just standard brown hair. The closer you look, the shades of light gray and brown begin to show through. It's a neutral hair color that includes several subtle browns and grays and, as you guessed, a mushroom. To create this tone, the colorist will apply a series of low and highlights on top of the taupe to create a multi-dimensional tone. Mushroom brown is a great hair color to consider if you want to cover up gray hair.
While other popular brunette trends like chocolate or blonde are super warm, mushroom brown can be neutral or on the cold side if you choose a tone with a gray, moody hue. Of course, you can also choose chocolate brown mushroom brown hair.
How to get mushroom brown hair?
As with all highlight techniques, it's best to consult a hair colorist for help in creating an Instagram-worthy mushroom brown hair color. If you prefer a light mushroom brown, ask your stylist to create a light brown base and mix in plenty of ginger blonde highlights. If you're looking for dark mushroom brown hair, ask your stylist to blend the chocolate low light into the off-white undertone.
Once you've settled on the style, your stylist will first create a taupe base color. He or she will then layer on top of high and low lights to create a multi-dimensional look based on your inspired picture.
If you're going to try to create a mushroom brown hair color at home, you can, consult a professional hair colorist, check out video tutorials, learn hair coloring techniques, etc. Then use one of the mushroom brown hair dyes to get the look.
