Auburn hair is both a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, women with this shade of hair have one of nature’s perfect creations. Nothing glistens in a sunset quite like the rich, natural beauty of auburn hair. On the other hand, women with auburn hair are forced to show it off proudly as the alpha of the gingers. Long waves, tight curls, bouncy bobs and straight as an arrow. All of the staples demand a little something extra from women with that luscious auburn hair.
Not to worry; there are hundreds of options available. Focus on style and then add color and you’ll be the center of attention in any crowd. Remember, you share a hair color with such iconic women as Julianne Moore, Meghan Trainor, and Princess Fergie. That’s some proud company indeed.

These women have taken their auburn hair to the next level, proving that short and fun is also soft and sexy.

Too many people present their ombre as balayage. Ombre is a distinct separation of colors that melt into one another. In this case, the intoxicating auburn compliments the orange blossom bottoms perfectly. This touch of fall is a welcome look for any redhead looking for something new.
Ombres are unforgettable. An ombre done right will leave a lasting impression. An ombre done poorly gets talked about for years to come.
Pulled back tight in a high ponytail
Having Auburn hair is often accompanied by the lightest of skin. Very white and covered with tiny freckles, this beauty knows her stunning hair needs to take a back seat.

The perfect pointed bob for the perfect auburn hair
Pointed bobs are classic and elegant. A pointed bob in auburn is breathtaking.

You can stare at it and stare at it and then stare at it some more. No matter how long you look, you won’t change how perfect this hairstyle is for this color.
Drapes in the front tapering back to a bob
Unorthodox is okay. The luxurious length in the front tapers to a bob in the back. Talk about the best of both worlds! Incredible front selfies and a cool style to boot? What could go wrong? Those hanging front drapes are also perfect for creative styling when the time comes to go out for a night on the town. Cute and flighty turns into sophisticated and sexy like magic.

The A-line bob and auburn hair is a match made in heaven. Beautiful, wispy strands complimenting a full-bodied bob of lush red will send blondes and brunettes rushing to the dye aisle for bright auburn red.
The beautiful blunt cut
There is nothing more natural than a well-done blunt cut. This woman’s light auburn, with beautiful body and hypnotic highlights, showcases the blunt cut to perfection. Blunt cuts also have the advantage of a cooler, easy to wear hairstyle. With straight, full-bodied hair, a blunt cut is nearly maintenance free. If you have to straighten your hair, watch out. This may not be the cut for you.
The mature pointed pixie
Is there a difference between a pixie and a mature pixie? There is. The woman who is wearing it. The classic, pointed pixie makes you think about Demi Moore in Ghost or Chyna Phillips on stage. This pixie cut is more refined and shaped to focus on a look that is professional yet fun.
Together with some incredible finesse, this woman’s auburn locks have been transformed into something any woman would love. Her stylist should be as proud to have created it as she is to wear it.

From there, the sky is the limit.
How About A Little Color In That Auburn Hair?
You don’t have to cut your auburn hair to give it a whole new life. Coloring your auburn is a different experience than any other color.
