How to Get Rose Brown Hair Color at Home

First, we had rose gold hair color, then we had rose blonde — so it only makes sense that rose brown is the next hair color trend that you need to try.  This rosy hue is the perfect way to warm up your brunette mane. Keep reading to learn what exactly rose brown hair is, how to get a rose brown hair color, and how to take care of your new blushing shade.

What is Rose Brown Hair?

Rose brown hair involves a brown base that has rose gold touches throughout. It’s a subtle, gorgeous way to switch up  brunette hair without going full-out rose gold. Not only is this easy-to-get and low maintenance hair color perfect for brunettes, it’s also totally doable for blondes, too.

How to Get a Rose Brown Hair Color

If you want to rock this hair color for yourself, ask your stylist to weave red, brown, and rose gold hues through your mane for the ultimate dimension. Just be wary that this hair color requires using bleach to lighten your strands, so make sure your hair is healthy before committing to your new ‘do.

If you’re more of a DIY gal, you’re in luck. Rose brown hair is super easy to recreate at home with the help of some temporary hair color. Start with a brunette base, then give yourself a sheer coat of rose gold with a temporary hair color like the L’Oréal Paris Colorista Hair Makeup Temporary 1-Day Hair Color Spray in Rosegold — which washes out in just one shampoo. 

If you want to opt for a permanent hair color, start with the L’Oréal Paris Colorista Bleach in All Over to lighten your mane, and then reach for L’Oréal Paris Féria in Rose Gold to create your rose brown color. Make sure to follow the included instructions carefully for the best results. 

How to Maintain a Rose Brown Hair Color

Now that you know how to get a rose brown hair color, you’re probably wondering what’s the best way to maintain your new hue. Keep reading for all of the rose brown hair color maintenance tips you’ll need.

1. Use a Hair Care Line for Color-Treated Hair

One of the most important tips for keeping your rose brown hair color — or any new hair color — looking its best is to use a shampoo, conditioner, and hair treatment that are formulated for color-treated hair. 

We recommend the L’Oréal Paris EverPure Sulfate-Free Simply Clean Shampoo with Essential Oil and the L’Oréal Paris EverPure Sulfate-Free Simply Clean Conditioner with Essential Oil which both work to gently cleanse the hair without fading or stripping your hair color. They’re also formulated without sulfates, parabens, or dyes for a healthy mane.

When hair looks dull or faded, reach for the L’Oréal Paris EverPure Sulfate-Free Glossing Shampoo, pH Balanced, L’Oréal Paris EverPure Sulfate-Free Glossing Conditioner, pH Balanced, and the L’Oréal Paris EverPure Sulfate-Free Signature Masque, Color Care Hair Mask twice per week. These sulfate-free products are formulated to hydrate and revitalize your color, strand by strand.

2. Add a Hair Gloss to Your Routine

Colored hair deserves a little extra love, and there’s no better way to show it than by using a hair gloss for shiny strands that look like new. Whenever you feel like your color is starting to fade or lose luster, in addition to using the glossing shampoo system mentioned above, reach for the L’Oréal Paris Le Color Gloss One Step In-Shower Toning Gloss to give your mane a vibrant and healthy shine. Apply after shampooing to wet hair, leave on for 5-15 minutes, and then rinse. 

3. Keep Temporary Touch-up Products Handy

When your roots start to grow in, you’ll want to have backup close by until you can get to the salon. Simply keep the L’Oréal Paris Colorista Hair Makeup Temporary 1-Day Hair Color Spray in Rosegold in your beauty arsenal for an easy, temporary touch-up.

4. Skip the Heat

Give your newly colored mane a break by skipping out on the heat tools and opting for heat-free hairstyles instead. We personally love the L’Oréal Paris Advanced Hairstyle BOOST IT Volume Inject Mousse, which gives your hair body and volume for up to 24 hours. 

It contains thickening agents to give your hair a boosted and bouncy look — no curling iron required. Shake well and apply it evenly throughout damp hair.
