To get a beautiful light brown color, it is better to visit an experienced stylist. It’s difficult to choose the right paint tone on your own. In addition, it applies differently to different shades of strands. And there are many techniques for hair coloring. Popular among them:

If you decide to change your image, dye your hair light brown, then act boldly. Now you know which shade of light brown is best for you. Just take into account the advice of stylists:

  • Do not dye bright red hair light brown without washing or bleaching with professional products.
  • If you decide to dye your black strands brown or light brown, then don’t do it all at once. You can repaint it in chocolate tones after a one-time wash. A light shade is done in several stages and the hair will become damaged after that.
  • There is no need to overexpose the dye to your hair, thinking that you will get a deeper tone. You risk drying out your hair.
  • Before dyeing your curls, be sure to cut off the split ends.
  • After washing off the dye from your head, do not forget to use a mask.
  • The dye will color your strands better if you don’t wash your hair for three days the day before.

Light brown hair color has many shades, the best ones can be found in hair dye. The best hairstyles for them are braids and ponytails. Makeup for fair-haired people is also special. Photo

Light brown hair color is, first of all, a natural tone, most often found among people of Slavic appearance. The color changes with age: fair-haired children are always blonde, the color darkens with age, but color uniformity is almost never achieved: the tips of the strands are always lighter than the roots. In the sun, the strands of medium-blond people quickly fade, thereby achieving natural highlighting.

The disadvantage of natural light brown shades is the frequent admixture of gray. If the hair is light and golden, then such people are considered blonde.

We can easily recognize the light brown color of the person sitting next to us, especially if it is a natural shade, but you will not find such a tone in hair dyes. Light brown color is average between very light (blonde) and dark (brunette), and medium and dull shade of hair is associated with grayness. And if you do not have an outstanding appearance, then there is a high probability that you will dye your native light brown hair, perhaps into a different light brown color, but the one chosen by the hair dye manufacturers.

Not only repainting will help you achieve the brightness of light strands, but also additional partial lightening, for example, an ombre effect, or partial coloring.
The advantage of natural light brown hair is the wide range of color options available. Lightening dark strands is much more difficult than medium-light hair, and very light hair looks better on fair-haired women than on former brunettes.

Natural brown hair color

Natural shades of light brown belong to “summer”, “summer-spring” and, in to a lesser extent, “spring” color type. On average, these are medium brown and dark brown colors without any admixture of gold or red tones. Only in light and light-light blond are straw, golden and ash motifs found, and it is these rare shades of blond that are chosen by hair dye manufacturers.

The light brown palette lies within c. At the same time, the most common are 9 and 8 tones, although I would call them pure blond rather than light brown. However, the prefix light brown is similar to the prefix natural, and who doesn’t want to have a “natural” light straw shade of hair? In general, there is no need to get into controversy; if a light-blonde color from a paint manufacturer suits you, then it’s worth adopting.
I will also note that the tones indicate how much light paint(or native hair tone), but do not give an idea of ​​the shade. So, tone 9 can be frankly yellow and extremely ashy.

Shades of false light brown

However, in some cases, “brown” will mean exactly the tone, and not the shade. So Ash Blonde is a very light shade of beige. Cool light brown color - gray-beige or gray-brown tone. Golden brown color also comes out of the light brown palette and has a golden-orange color. And the reddish-brown color is a copper-brown shade.

The first thing you need to do before dyeing your hair is to decide what shade will suit you. The most harmonious thing for the appearance would be to maintain the level of color saturation with slight deviations up or down. Saturation comes from yellow and/or red pigment in the hair. You need to evaluate how bright yours are. To do this, when you come to the hairdresser, select your native hair color from the catalog (or one close to it, the hairdresser can help you with this), when you see it in front of you, you will be able to compare it with other paint tones and determine how much brighter they are than yours .
Light brown tones are suitable for people of “summer”, “spring-summer”, “winter-summer” color types with a medium contrasting appearance and medium strand saturation...
Color types such as “winter”, “spring”, “autumn” (with a naturally bright hairstyle) should be limited to the choice accordingly: light-light-ash, golden-blond and red-blond shades.
Regarding the choice of light or dark paint for hair, then there are no restrictions in light brown shades. It all depends on how ready you are to radically change your image, as well as how much time you are willing to spend on restoring and caring for your hair. After all, radical lightening is always stressful for a natural hairstyle, as a result of which the strands will require increased nutrition, care and even lamination.

As I already said, brown hair easily lightens in the sun, acquiring an uneven, albeit very attractive color. But sometimes this sun is not enough for the desired effect we want. In addition to sunburn, there are other methods of lightening hair that preserve the beauty and vitality of naturally brown shades.

1 Lightening brown hair with honey and vinegar

2 tea cups diluted bite
1 tea cup of natural honey
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon ground coriander or cinnamon

Mix the ingredients and apply to damp hair using a comb or color brush. After thorough application, you need to wrap it in plastic or a shower cap, tie it all with a scarf and leave it overnight.
This mixture works due to the presence of a large amount of hydrogen peroxide in honey, and olive oil and coriander (cinnamon) enhance its effect.

2 Lightening brown hair with chamomile tea

You can, of course, take black tea, but chamomile gives certain properties to hair: smoothness and healthy shine.
To prepare the mixture, you need to brew tea in water: boil water and a tea bag for 10 minutes. Let it cool and rinse your hair with it for 15 minutes. You can rinse several times while washing your hair - this will enhance the lightening effect.

3 Lightening brown hair with baking soda

Baking soda is great for cleansing hair of chemical buildup, and it is also suitable for lightening hair. This will of course take a little longer than other methods, but it is worth considering the health benefits of soda. Apply soaked baking soda to your hair once a week and within a month you will see the result.

4 Lightening brown hair with vitamin C

Vitamin C not only brightens strands, but also makes them healthy and shiny. You just need to take 8-9 vitamin C tablets, crush them and mix them with your shampoo. Then, wash with it as you would with regular shampoo.

Hairstyles for brown hair

Hairstyle fashion is changing from long to short, from short to long hairstyles. And if in the 90s everyone tried to cut and curl, then now the majority, obeying the fashion trend, strive to grow and braid.
And of course, modern braids are different from “grandmother’s.” These are various purl braids, spikelets and “dragons” and of course buns and “bumps”.
These hairstyles look especially beautiful and advantageous on brown and light brown hair.
The light brown color is usually not uniform and is also easily left behind. Bunches of different shades look rich and contrasting. And hairstyles with braids on such hair look especially impressive.

Another great way to highlight the beauty of brown hair is a ponytail. Various knots and fixed cascades of falling strands are very attractive. They can either reduce the volume of hair, making your look cute, or increase it, giving you a more playful and crazy look.


Although preference is given to long brown hair, but also short haircuts take place. To be modern and attractive, you should follow several rules. Firstly, for fair-haired people in short hairstyle volume required. It can be achieved by partially lightening the hair (this gives depth and therefore volume) and vertical blow-drying. Secondly, a natural wave that does not turn into a curl is valued (by the way, it also gives volume). This is also achieved by styling your hair with special round combs.

Short haircuts for brown hair



Makeup of a girl with brown hair

Most fair-haired girls are blondes or strive to be blondes. The blonde is gentle image with expressive eyes and sensual lips. One of the factors influencing the creation of the image is light eyebrows, which give softness to the face. You should not highlight your eyebrows with black or a very dark color. Use soft brown or gray tone. However, on the eyelashes you can completely recoup the eyebrows.
Daytime makeup for a girl with brown hair means working on the eyes: various eyeliners, shadows, mascara. Lips can get by with just gloss or dull light lipstick.





To create a more daring look, you can use bright lipstick. For daytime makeup, the saturation of such lipstick should be moderate and at the same time the emphasis should be removed from the eyes. This way you highlight either the eyes or the lips.


Evening makeup includes brightly highlighted eyes and lips. This combination creates a very daring image.



You can weaken it by choosing only very bright lipstick.


The color of cosmetics for fair-haired girls will depend on their natural contrast and color. So you can highlight the line: from ashy shades to golden ones. It is determined not only by the color of the hairstyle (since it can be acquired), but mainly by the color of the skin, and it is actually worth choosing the hair color for it.

The overall color will especially affect the selection of blush and lipstick. For “summer” color types these are lilac, pink, burgundy shades. For “spring”, peach, coral, pink and scarlet tones. Intermediate color types will have an average gamut.



For the eyes, the selection of cosmetics will depend on the color of the iris. Of course, the majority of fair-haired and fair-haired girls are blue-eyed, but green and brown colors also exist. So, experts advise for blue eyes beige, peach, gold and turquoise shades of eyeshadow. For green: lilac, eggplant, purple, brown, green shades of shadows. For brown eyes: turquoise, gray-blue, peach, lilac shades of shadows.

As already said, shades of brown hair color varied. Women with fair skin and green, blue or amber eyes should opt for a light brown shade. And this has been proven by time - it’s not for nothing that the phrase “blue-eyed blonde” is so commonly used.

For girls with warm, golden and brown skin tones, gray eyes you need to choose a medium brown shade. You can also try dyeing your hair ash-blond - it will look amazing.

For dark-skinned women and dark-skinned beauties, a dark blond shade is suitable, which is often close to their native hair color.

In addition to your type and personal preferences, it is important to remember one more point: it is better to dye your hair 1-2 shades lighter or darker than your natural color. For example, if you have, then you can choose a natural dark or golden-copper blonde. Under no circumstances should a girl with brown hair dye her hair “pearly blonde,” otherwise it will look ridiculous.

I would especially like to note that it is very suitable for women who have already gone gray. A light brown color, as opposed to a very dark or very light color, helps to hide a lady’s true age because it looks natural.

Light brown hair color, namely its light tone, is typical for girls Slavic type appearance. Curls of this shade are common in our country and in Eastern Europe. Light brown today has taken a strong position among the most frequently used and popular colors for coloring. It looks fresh and natural, and naturalness, as you know, is now in fashion.

Many ladies, before dyeing, doubt whether brown hair will suit them. Surprisingly, this tone harmonizes perfectly with almost any appearance, but you need to choose the right shade.

The determining factors in this matter are the color of the iris, facial tone and initial hair color:

  • for young ladies with dark eyes and dark, beige or peach skin, copper-blond hair is suitable;

  • brown-eyed and green-eyed young ladies with an olive complexion are recommended to opt for deeper light brown tones; you can also dilute this color with bright highlights;
  • natural hair color should not differ from the desired color by more than 2 shades of coloring.

Perhaps the only exception for acquiring a light brown color is the appearance of a burning brunette with dark eyes and the same skin tone.

Not so long ago, light brown was not a favorite among fashionistas; it was considered boring, faceless and mousey, but now it is experiencing a real “boom” in popularity. Celebrities such as Charlize Theron, Jennifer Lopez, Natalia Vodianova have been spotted among fans of the natural shade; they appreciated its naturalness and charm. Under the spotlight and camera flashes, the hair of these beauties acquires incredible charm and shine.

Wide range of light brown shades

In the entire palette, light brown hair color occupies an intermediate position between blond and brown-haired. It is difficult to list all the color nuances; nature itself “took care” of the rich range of colors. IN general view The palette is divided into seven main shades; let’s look at the characteristics and features of each of them.
