Brittany Mahomes has ditched her signature blond hair for something a little more "spicy." On April 11, the entrepreneur posted a series of professional photos on her Instagram debuting the brand-new look, featuring a fresh cut and one of this year's trendiest hair colors: "bropper."
The dye job comes courtesy of hairstylist Laurabeth Cabott, who styled Mahomes's new red hair into long, voluminous curls for the shoot.
For the unfamiliar, bropper is an earthy red shade that is a cross between brown and copper, and has been trending all over Hollywood. Rather than lean in to the Kansas City Chiefs color full-on, this hue provides a more natural transition to red. While it's a popular choice among brunettes, it can also work well for people with lighter hair, like Mahomes, provided you approach it the right way.
"Bropper is achieved by blending painted pieces of copper, amber, and brown shades of varying depth and lightness throughout the hair," Lauren Mildice, a colorist at Maxine Salon in Chicago, previously told POPSUGAR. The result is a near-cinnamon shade that is particularly flattering with highlights - perfect for if you want to leave a few pieces of your blond base color peeking through.
Mahomes new look is the cherry on top of the red trend taking over the beauty space right now. So whether you're on the hunt for a new hair color yourself or just like keeping up with one of Taylor Swift's new friends, take a few cues from Mahomes's transformation for your own spring reset.
