Brown-brown hair color gives the image a natural, but at the same time, a kind of extravagance. Today it is one of the most fashionable shades. It is in the palettes of all professional dyes. The shades of light brown flowers are different: there is a copper tint, there is a golden, ashy and even red. At home, dyeing your hair is quite simple, since in most cases preliminary clarification is not required. The article lists the most relevant shades of light brown color, and also gives tips and advice on the procedure for dyeing and subsequent hair care.
How do you know if your chosen hair color is right for you?
Before deciding to stain with permanent permanent dye, evaluate your color type. Often, girls see beautiful light brown hair in the photo and, without hesitation, acquire paint for use at home. With such a frivolous attitude, the result is often disastrous.
The fact is that when choosing a hair dye of dark brown shades, you must take into account skin tone, eye color, the presence or absence of freckles, tanning. All these nuances, seemingly insignificant, create a single image. And if the shade of the selected hair color does not harmonize with the color of the eyes or skin tone, then the general appearance may turn out to be painful, disharmonious.
Color selection based on color type
In coloring, there is the simplest and already classic way of typing the appearance of the seasons. Depending on the color type of the person, we can conclude whether there will be brown-blond hair color to the face.
- Autumn color type: olive skin, freckles, a tendency to age spots, brown eyes or a warm green tint. Blonde brown-copper hair color is an ideal choice for girls with a warm autumn color type. They can also safely experiment with copper shades of any level of tone depth.
- Winter color type. White porcelain skin, black or cold blue eyes. The skin is not prone to tanning and usually burns very quickly. Girls of a winter color type are contraindicated in warm shades of hair: they make the look painful and tired. You should experiment with cold shades of light brown hair. Also, a dark brown ash or red tone is ideal for them.
- Spring color type is characterized by warm shades. By nature, the hair of such people with a light redhead or goldfish. Eye color - gray, green, blue. The skin easily tans, freckles appear. Such girls face copper and golden shades of light brown, you can also opt for light brown, ash brown. Light brown shades should be selected soft. For example, red or saturated brown "spring" girls are not suitable.
- Summer color type refers to contrasting and cold. People of the summer color type have gray eyes, white porcelain skin, which is difficult to tan. Ideally complements such an appearance, ashen staining on brown hair. This is a pearl cold blond, ashen tones at the ninth level of depth of tone. But copper, golden, brown warm shades to girls of summer color are contraindicated.
When is pre-clarification required?
Some techniques of dyeing for brown hair involve preliminary clarification of the entire canvas or separately selected strands (highlighting, balayazh, ombre). Often, girls refuse to stain, learning about the need for preliminary clarification. And they can be understood: the clarification procedure leads to trauma to the hair structure. The tips become dry, begin to exfoliate. However, if the color of the hair is dark by nature, then it is impossible to achieve a beautiful blond shade without preliminary lightening.
If you still decide to achieve a beautiful light shade and do not mind discoloration, then think in advance about the selection of professional hair care products. To maintain the health of the tips, maintain a beautiful shade and shine of the hair, you will have to constantly use restoring masks, concentrates, balms.
How to choose a suitable dye?
Seeing dozens of dyes on store shelves, shoppers are tormented by doubts. Which dye to choose? Well, the whole abundance of modern dyes can be divided into two large groups.
- Permanent resistant dyes provide long-term results. Hair after staining with such a dye shines and looks completely healthy. Persistence is the main advantage of permanent dyes. But the composition includes ammonia, which in the long term negatively affects the condition of the hair. If you regularly dye your hair with an ammonia-resistant dye, then after half a year or a year, they begin to break down in length, cut off. This can be avoided by regularly using quality care products.
- Ammonia-free dyes are more expensive than ammonia dyes. Paint without ammonia does not spoil the hair. As a rule, the composition of such dyes includes keratin, caring oils, plant extracts. Hair not only does not deteriorate, but also heals as a result of such coloring. But durability leaves much to be desired. Since ammonia is not included in the composition, the color is washed out quite quickly - this is a feature of hair dye. Dark blond is no exception.
Which dye to choose is up to you. Each product has its pros and cons. Even the most expensive dye can make hair thin and cause hair loss. The factor of personality cannot be excluded when choosing a dye. If the hair is in poor condition and falls out, it is better to completely abandon dyeing and treat the scalp.

Popular dyeing techniques: ombre and balayazh
The most relevant techniques for staining in brown-brown shades today:
- Ombre: a smooth transition of color from darker at the roots to light at the tips. For example, at the roots, the hair is dark brown or a rich brown shade, and near the ears, a transition to light brown ash begins. You can discuss with the master the nuances of choosing a particular color and create an unusual and stylish image.
- Balayazh is a rather complicated, but very fashionable staining technique. The master applies light brown glare to the hair with a special brush. In this case, you can use any dye. In some cases, preliminary clarification of pre-selected areas on the hair may be required. As a result of dyeing, it seems that locks of hair burned out in the sun in a chaotic manner.
- Highlighting is also still at the peak of fashion. Only it is necessary to use not one shade, but several. As a result, the strands play in the sun in different colors, which looks very impressive. You can combine the strands either in warm colors or in cold ones. For example, choose golden, brown and copper shades of light brown for highlighting.

But if your goal is complex coloring (highlighting, ombre or others), then you should go to the salon and entrust your hair to an experienced colorist. If you try to perform complex stains at home, you may be disappointed. But the biggest problem is that the hair can be irreparably damaged, you have to do a short haircut.
Aftercare for colored hair
If you managed to achieve a noble brown light brown shade, then you can relax. But not longer than one week, since after this time the color will begin to wash out. Shine will go away, hair will start to grow bristled and dry. Even if you use a dye with the maximum number of caring components, washout of the shade can not be avoided.
After each shampoo, you should use a mask for colored hair. You should forget about homemade masks from oils, mayonnaise, sour cream, etc. Such masks can literally wash pigments from hair a couple of times. Use only high-quality masks from manufacturers of professional cosmetics for hair care. To care for the ends of the hair, you should choose a separate product - a concentrate or special cosmetic oil from exfoliation.
