When fall rolls around, plenty of women run to the hair salon asking for auburn locks. And why shouldn’t they? That delightful, rich, and warm blend of red and brown hues exquisitely embraces the beauty of the season – not to mention it’s a color combination that’s downright head-turning.
If you’re considering going to Auburn – whether it’s fall or not – you might be looking for inspiration. As always, we’ve got you covered.
Today, we’re excited to showcase the top 60 most beautiful auburn hairstyles you have to try! There’s something on this list to cater to everyone’s taste and texture, whether you’re looking for something daring, sweet and sophisticated, or somewhere in between.
#1. Copper Elegance Balayage
A copper balayage is a hit for two main reasons. For one, this copper elegance plays up the red notes of your auburn locks, ensuring a fiery finish you can’t ignore. Second, it utilizes the ever-popular balayage coloring technique, creating a superiorly natural-looking finish.
#2. Golden Russet Waves
I’ve yet to meet a gal who isn’t obsessed with gold. But why should it stop at your favorite jewelry? Golden hair is just as flashy and fancy, especially when blended with striking wavy details.
#3. Cherry Spice Locks
Auburn doesn’t have to be soft and inviting. In fact, it can take on a more intense role with the right shade. One of those shades is cherry spice. Rich, exciting, and anything but tame, this thrilling color is a game-changer for auburn tresses.
#4. Caramel Streaked Tresses
Do you want to cater to the brown undertones of your auburn base? Caramel highlights are the perfect way to do it. Auburn blended with caramel tones ensures a deliciously rich finish that adds gorgeous dimension – especially for those with thin or fine locks.
#5. Sunshine Tinged Curls
Auburn may be the go-to for fall, but they can be adapted for summer, too. All you need to do is add subtle, sunlit highlights throughout your mane. These highlights will immediately revitalize your tresses, especially if you’re workin’ with some naturally tight ringlets.
#6. Balayage in Cinnamon and Auburn
For women looking to achieve the epitome of gracefulness and class with their auburn hairstyle, this balayage look is for them. The blend of cinnamon and auburn is not only warming and spicy but intoxicating, too.

Auburn doesn’t have to be the main attraction. It can also work wonders as a supporting color, as shown in this look. You’ll start with a rich brown base and add gorgeous color with auburn touches strategically placed throughout.
#8. Reddish Highlights on Auburn Base
Becoming a full-on redhead can be daunting. Rather than dousing your hair in red coloring, opt for a tamer approach: reddish highlights on an auburn base. This look showcases plenty of red in all the right places without being overwhelming.
