Who it suits
Warm undertones, freckles, green and hazel eyes. It is a gentle way to bring warmth to dull or mousy brown hair without committing to red.

Is chestnut right for you?
What to ask your colourist
A level 5 warm brown with copper or red-gold tone. From a light or medium brown base it is usually done in one session.
Keeping it fresh
Red-leaning browns fade faster than neutral ones. Wash in cooler water and book a gloss every 6–8 weeks.

Chestnut hair colour
Is chestnut a red?
Not quite. Chestnut is a brown with red warmth. Mahogany has more red-violet, and copper is properly orange-red.
Will chestnut suit pale skin?
Often yes, especially with freckles or green eyes. Try it at a softer intensity if your skin is very fair and cool.
Will my real colour look like the preview?
Take it as a direction, not a promise. The salon result depends on your current colour, your hair’s condition, the products and your colourist, and the light in your photo changes how a shade reads.
