Dressing as a sexy siren for the office is so last year. This fall, it’s all about the dark siren hair. During MTV’s Video Music Awards, we saw cool-toned black and very dark brown hair dominate the blue carpet. Celebrities including Charli XCX, Ella Bright, Rei Ami, Teyana Taylor, Olandria, and so many more were spotted rocking this trendy hair look. 

Reminiscent of the mythological creatures that lured sailors to their deaths, this look is characterized by very dark hair color. It could be styled in a long and wavy look (that we can easily picture flowing eerily underwater) or in a short pixie that gives a punk-cool vibe. 

So, whether you’re thinking of going darker during the colder months or this is your au naturel look you’re finally embracing, keep scrolling to learn more about this spooky dark hair.
