Get to know Hazelnut Praline Brunette, a luxury, low-maintenance shade that’s about to become the go-to brunette colour your clients didn’t know they needed. Think rich mocha depth with soft, glossy, caramel ribbons that flatter every skin tone and hair type. This isn’t just a basic brunette; it’s dimensional, versatile, and wearable, making it the perfect choice for clients wanting a low-maintenance look that adds warmth without the brass. What more could you want this summer?

This isn’t just your standard chocolate brunette. Hazelnut Praline ensures your clients achieve a lived-in colour that adds caramel tones to a toasted base, which serves the perfect balance of shine and softness. If you’re working with a deep brunette base or a natural level 6 or 7, this shade can be personalised by adding lighter ribbons, deeper mocha tones, or a soft gloss finish. The possibilities are endless!

We caught up with Brooke Evans - Quif Ambassador & Balayage Specialist - to find out how to create this season’s must-have trending brunette shade using Quif’s newest launch, Magi:light+ Premium Lightener, and Quif’s dual-system colour, Magi:colour. Here’s how to get the look...

Lighten the hair with Magi:light+ Premium Lightener in Silver, using a 9% developer, leaving to process for 30 minutes. Using a highlighting technique, coat the hair with the Magi:light+ mix to ensure no orange tones and to lift fine, caramel-toned ribbons throughout the hair for that ‘praline’ effect. Apply Magi:colour globally to the hair in 6:7 with demi:fuel developer, and leave to process for 20 mins. Once developed, rinse and dry to see the Hazelnut Praline Brunette come to life!

 

This one’s for the brunette clients who want a seasonal switch-up without the upkeep. It’s dimensional, soft, and flattering on all skin tones. Plus, it’s perfect for adding a subtle lightness for summer without the drastic contrast. If you have naturally brunette clients, this would make the perfect shade to add depth and richness to their summertime look.

As this look is all about tone, we recommend maintaining with a gloss, specifically Magi:gloss by Quif, in shade 5:03 every 6-8 weeks to keep the warmth vibrant and the finish radiant. Have your clients take home a colour-safe shampoo and a hydrating mask to keep the caramel-toned ribbons shiny and smooth!
