The hair color ideas for brunettes are endless. The proof? These gorgeous brunette hairstyles flaunted by everyone from Lily Collins to Lily James to Lily Rose Depp (seriously, there are a lot of celebrity brunettes out there that happen to be named Lily.)

One look at Selena Gomez's enviable mane confirms that Pantene was smart to tap her as a hair model. It's shiny, voluminous, bouncy and the dark brunette hair color is flat-out gorgeous. Copying her sleek shade won't necessarily give you her volume and shine (we wish), but at least you'll be partway there. Some well-chosen products and hot tools will get you the rest of the way.
