Mocha mousse brunette: the colour of the summer

Move over platinum and copper, there’s a new hair shade in town, and it’s taking 2025 by storm. Introducing Mocha Mousse Brunette, a rich, velvety brown with subtle warm undertones and a soft, glossy finish. This elevated brunette is more than just another brown; it’s a multidimensional masterpiece that’s equal parts natural and luxe. If you're looking for a colour refresh that’s effortlessly chic and universally flattering, this is the shade to try.

Why Mocha Mousse Brunette is Trending

The rise of natural, healthy-looking hair is reshaping the beauty scene. Mocha Mousse Brunette fits right in, it’s not overly dramatic, but it still makes a statement. It evokes that "I woke up like this" elegance, with enough depth and light reflection to catch eyes in the summer sun.

Here’s why it’s trending:

  • Low maintenance: The natural brown base grows out softly, making it ideal for long summer months.

  • Flattering on all skin tones: The warm, cool-neutral balance complements everything from fair to deep complexions.

  • Glossy finish: Paired with a shine gloss, it gives off a healthy, luxe vibe.

How to Ask for It at the Salon

If you're heading to the salon, ask your stylist for a mocha brunette with warm dimension, and shine think creamy espresso with subtle golden or caramel undertones. You can enhance it with a gloss treatment for that reflective finish or request micro-balayage pieces around the face for a sunkissed touch.

Bonus tip: Bring photos! Lighting can dramatically change how this colour looks, so visual references help you and your stylist align on expectations.

Maintenance Tips for Long-Lasting Colour

  1. Use sulfate-free shampoo: To prevent colour fade and keep hair hydrated.

  2. Gloss every 6–8 weeks: Keep the richness alive with our glossing packages.

  3. Limit sun and chlorine exposure: UV rays and pool chemicals can dull brunette tones, wear a hat or use thermal protective heat sprays or oils. Our favourite would be the Wella Ultimate Smooth Oil!

Styling Mocha Mousse for Summer Vibes

This shade shines brightest when styled with soft, loose waves or a sleek blowout that shows off its dimension. Pair it with bronzy makeup, natural brows, and sun-kissed skin to really bring the whole look together. Bonus: it looks amazing under golden hour lighting.

Mocha Mousse Brunette isn’t just a colour, it’s a vibe. It says confident, grounded, and effortlessly stylish. Whether you're transitioning from lighter tones or deepening your natural brunette, this is the summer shade that’s both timeless and on-trend.
