If a silverish grey and a dirty brown had a baby, her name would be ashy brown. The hair colour is chic but with an edge, and it's also super versatile. It can be subtle with highlights or full-on with a balayage. Update your classic brown look with this moody and cool colouring technique. Check out these ten ashy brown hair looks for spring.

Full Ash

Like this Instagrammer, you can start with an ash brown ombre but eventually go full on. The dark roots look more natural.

The Blondie

So this is bit more blonde than brown, but it does have a bit of brown in the colour so we're gonna count it. For a drastic ombre, sneak in ash beneath the dark roots, then go platinum allover.
