When it comes to hair colour trends [1], we're fully on board with the ones that give us both a huge sweet tooth and something extra to add to our summer mood boards. Not too long ago, we were sprinting to our hairstylists with all "coconut candy" hair colour [2] inspiration we could find, but if you're looking to experiment with another low-maintenance hue that's darker (but just as sweet) as the aforementioned, the "melted pecan" hair colour needs to be on your list.

"Melted pecan" is a slightly more delicious-sounding name for a simple brown hair colour with highlights. "It's tastefully natural, with minimal highlights [3] creating a perfect summer glow," Karissa Schaudt [4], colourist at Maxine Salon [5] in Chicago, told POPSUGAR. "This is ideal for the low maintenance client with straight to wavy hair."

According to Schaudt, "melted pecan" looks best on natural brunettes who want to keep their depth but add a touch of brightness. "The fine highlights keep it minimal but impactful," she said.

If you're planning on making a colour change this summer and want to give "melted pecan" a try, you should head to a pro and ask for a two dimensional highlights. "Keep the base colour close to your natural, while adding the babylights through the hairline and midlights through ends," Schaudt said.

We've already seen celebrities like Hailey Baldwin rocking the colour earlier this year, so we definitely won't be surprised to see how fast this one catches on. Read ahead to check out some "melted pecan" hair colour inspiration to take to your stylist immediately.
