There is no better season to wear auburn hair than autumn, when tree leaves start falling, creating a carpet of earthy tones beneath our feet. The auburn color blends beautifully with the surroundings when walking down a park or a street with many trees on the pavement.
If you are reading this from a place that experiences all four seasons throughout the year, now could be the ideal moment to schedule your upcoming salon appointment for those stunning Auburn highlights before autumn approaches. Salons get busy as autumn progresses and Halloween and Christmas draw near.
Yet, before you do that, you’ll want inspiration to guide your choice for these highlights. That’s why we’ve curated a list of 12 auburn hair highlights, each from real women, which have garnered popularity within social media.
1. Cinnamon Spice Streaks
We call this one the cinnamon spice streaks, as it reminds us of sprinkled cinnamon on a latte. We had an intern at Dose Of Hairstyles tell us this while sipping on a cinnamon spice latte, and we couldn’t agree more.
2. Mahogany Flame Highlights
These fiery highlights make the hair stand out and intermingle with the natural hair, creating a sultry, mahogany-infused masterpiece.
3. Copper Glow Ribbons
Add a touch of radiance to your locks with what we like to call the copper glow ribbons. These auburn highlights cascade like ribbons of copper, catching the light and giving your hair a lustrous, sun-kissed glow.
4. Scarlet Ember Accents
How about igniting your straight hair with vibrant auburn highlights? There’s an undeniable passion in these highlights, beautifully illuminated when they catch the light. This fiery intensity is precisely why we’ve named them scarlet ember accents.
5. Rustic Maple Infusion
Experience the warmth of autumn year-round with the rustic maple infusion hairstyle. These auburn highlights mimic the earthy tones of rustic maple leaves, creating a cozy, curly, ready-for-autumn look.
6. Garnet Tinted Tresses
These deep auburn highlights resemble the luxurious tones of garnet gemstones, adding a touch of elegance to your hair. Add some earrings or a necklace with those gemstones, and you’ll be ready for a Gala.
7. Amber Blaze Strands
Set your hair ablaze with amber blaze strands. These auburn highlights flicker like amber flames at the bottom, while you can see the black hair at the top.
8. Burgundy Luster Veils
These auburn highlights have a rich burgundy undertone, like fine wine. When paired with curls, it becomes an undoubtedly perfect match, elevating your hair to a fine Bordeaux.
9. Cherrywood Gleam Highlights
Compared to other auburn hairstyles, this one is slightly lighter in tone. We named it the Cherrywood Gleam Highlights, which mirrors the delicate hue left behind after cherry wood paint dries up. It’s a beautiful color that captures the essence of its soft, natural radiance, reminiscent of the sun-kissed glow on polished cherrywood surfaces.
10. Copper Penny Wisps
Shine bright like a copper penny with these auburn highlights. The highlights exhibit a subtle grace, especially when illuminated by light. This effect is quite appealing, as it imparts a dual-toned dimension to your hair—distinct during the day and alluringly transformed at night or when the light is dim.
11. Auburn Sunset Ribbons
Ah, the auburn sunset ribbons. It looks like the color of the sun just after it starts to go down, or some say it has a ginger feel to it. Nevertheless, it’s absolutely stunning, and we love it here at Dose Of Hairstyles.
12. Cranberry Kissed Locks
And finally, add a dash of romance to your hair with the cranberry-kissed locks. We were running out of names, so we considered calling this one cranberry reminiscent of the deep, inviting shades of ripe cranberries, infusing your hair with flavor.
Whether you’re aiming for a subtle sun-kissed glow or a bold, head-turning transformation, these 12 auburn hair highlight ideas offer something for every style.
