This season, colour trends for brunette tresses have officially shifted toward jewel tones, and the reigning hue of sapphire is leading the charge. While pastel shades may be more suitable for blondes, violet-toned hues of sapphire have now made a splash.

As a shift from more traditional shades of blue, the latest variation on sapphire hair includes hints of purple. Meanwhile, sapphire tones are rich and sumptuous, and can easily flatter olive or tan complexions as the weather cools.

If you’re aiming to embrace the sapphire trend this autumn, the look of subtle highlights can also offer a vibrant and luxurious effect. While blush pink and lavender grey tresses may be for the more adventurous, sapphire-hued strands can easily flatter your dark brown or black mane.
