Smoky Ash Brown Ombre Long Hair with Wavy Texture
This is Look #15 from “25 Dark Chocolate Brown Hair Ideas” Collection.
Cool, edgy, and ultra-modern—this smoky ash brown ombre is a bold take on the classic brunette look. With deep roots fading into a misty ash brown finish, it’s the perfect blend of drama and elegance.
This hairstyle is best suited for thick, long hair with a naturally straight or wavy texture. The colour technique transitions seamlessly from a dark brown base into cool ash brown tones through the mid-lengths and ends. Subtle long layers add movement, keeping the style from feeling heavy. It’s especially flattering on oval, heart, and square face shapes, and complements neutral to cool skin undertones. The result is a moody, high-fashion look that stands out while remaining wearable.
💇♀️ Styling tips:
Use a curling wand to add soft, loose waves, then brush through for a diffused, smoky effect. Finish with a texturising spray for an airy finish.
🧴 Maintenance look:
Ash tones benefit from purple shampoo to avoid brassiness. Maintain colour every 8–10 weeks, and use deep conditioning masks to keep hair soft and healthy. @hairgonesouth
