Style 1: Brown Hair with Orange Money Pieces

@tashdollars used Ginger Flare

Frame your face with vibrant pops of orange hair dye while keeping your gorgeous brunette base intact; it's the perfect balance of main character energy without trying too hard! 

This approach lets you test-drive the orange and brown hair color trend without the full commitment (because we all know that doesn’t always go well). 

Take it from us, you’ll be turning heads for all the right reasons.

How to Get It: 

Simply bleach your face framing pieces using our Bleach Please kit. 

Once dried, apply Sunset Orange, Ginger Flare, or Peach Prosecco and let it marinate for at least 30-40 minutes. 

Rinse with cold water and color-safe shampoo and conditioner, and you're ready to slay.

Styling Options:

• High ponytail with money pieces pulled out for maximum impact

• Messy bun with orange tendrils for effortless cool-girl vibes

Style 2: Brown and Orange Split Dye Hair

A split dye with rich brown on one side and fiery orange hair color on the other? It's not just a hairstyle, it's a statement. 

The contrast is bold AF and impossible to ignore in the best way possible. Trust us, this look says you're grounded enough for daily life but have a creative fire that refuses to be tamed. 

And when people do a double-take? That's just confirmation you're doing something right. This split dye isn't for the faint of heart, but then again, neither are you.

How to Get It: 

Section your hair down the middle and bleach the side you want to be orange.

Once dried, apply your favorite Arctic Fox orange hair dye to the bleached side, cover with a shower cap for at least 30-40 minutes.

Rinse with cold water and color-safe shampoo and conditioner and get ready to turn heads!

Pro Tip: Section your hair with alligator clips before showering and wash one side at a time to prevent color bleeding.

Styling Options:

• Deep side part to emphasize the color split

• Space buns that showcase both colors for festival-ready vibes

Style 3: Brown Hair with Orange Bangs

Brown hair with orange bangs delivers show-stopping style with attitude! This striking combination pairs a rich brown base with a vibrant orange fringe that frames your face and demands attention. 

It screams "I'm here to party" while maintaining just enough restraint, perfect for the spotlight-lover who wants to turn heads without committing to an all-over orange hair dye color. 

Sweet and respectable? Absolutely. Boring? Never! This look says you're put-together with a deliciously rebellious streak that refuses to be ignored.

How to Get It: 

Lighten your bangs with our Bleach Please collection to get the perfect base.

Saturate with Sunset Orange for a minimum of 30-40 minutes before rinsing with cold water and color-safe shampoo and conditioner.

Dry, style, and show off your foxy new look!

Styling Options:

• Curtain bangs with the rest of your hair in loose waves

• Blunt micro bangs paired with a sleek high pony

Style 4: Brown Hair with Orange Highlights

@jvphair_st.helens used Sunset Orange

Brown hair with orange highlights is the perfect entry point to this trend with total it-girl energy written all over! It's sophisticated yet playful and by far the most wearable way to incorporate bright orange hair color without being too loud. 

This look is for the trendsetter who spots what's coming before it hits mainstream, but adds their own polished twist, of course.

How to Get It: 

If you already have salon highlights, it's even easier! 

Just slap your preferred orange hair dye (we recommend Ginger Flare or Sunset Orange!) all over your head, wait at least 30-40 minutes, then rinse with cold water and color-safe shampoo and conditioner, and VIOLA!

You've achieved beautiful warm brown hair with orange highlights.

Pro tip: No highlights yet? Apply Bleach Please to small sections around your head before dyeing.

Styling Options:

• Sleek straight locks to showcase the color dimension

• Mermaid waves to make highlights catch the light

Style 5: Brown Hair with Orange Peek-A-Boo

@kimbokush710 in Sunset Orange

Brown hair with an orange peek-a-boo screams "business on top, party underneath!” Your natural brunette locks create a professional foundation while that fiery orange secretly hides beneath, flashing its vibrant personality with every hair flip and casual toss. 

This jaw-dropping combo is tailor-made for the mystery maven who commands respect in the boardroom but has a wild side itching to break free after hours. It's your little secret, until you decide it's not!

How to Get It: 

Use our Alligator Clips to section out a portion of hair from ear to ear, clipping the rest to the top of your head. 

Use our Bleach Please kit before applying Sunset Orange to clean dry hair. 

Let it marinate under a shower cap for at least 30-40 minutes before rinsing with color-safe shampoo and conditioner. You'll have the hottest secret to reveal when you flip your hair!

Styling Options:

• Half-up styles that reveal glimpses of your hidden orange

• Bouncy curls that show flashes of color with every movement
