(+74 photos) Light brown hair color

Many have a light brown shade 🎨 associated with female Russian beauty. 👸🏻 But to achieve the desired color, 🖌 most women dye their hair. 👩🏻‍🎨 In this case, the shade of light brown should be selected based on the color of the eyes and the type of skin.

One of the very attractive is the light brown hair color, which will be discussed in this article. In addition, here you can get acquainted with other shades of light brown hair color.

How do you know if your chosen hair color is right for you?

Before deciding to stain with a 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 for dark blond shades, one must take into account the skin tone, eye color, the presence or absence of freckles, and a tan. All these seemingly insignificant nuances create a single image. And if the shade of the selected hair color is not in harmony with the eye color or skin tone, then the overall look can turn out to be painful, disharmonious.

Selection of a shade based on the color type

In color, there is the simplest and already classic way of typing the appearance by the seasons. Depending on the color type of the person, it can be concluded whether the brown-blond hair color will suit the face.

• Autumn color type: olive skin, freckles, a tendency to age spots, brown or warm green eyes. Light brown 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 sunburn and usually burns very quickly. Girls of the winter color type are contraindicated in warm shades of hair: they make it look painful and tired. Experiment with cool shades of light brown hair. Also, a dark blond ash or red tone is ideal for them.
• Spring color type characterized by warm shades. Naturally, the hair of such people has a slight reddish or golden color. Eye color - gray, green, blue. The skin tans easily, freckles appear. Copper and golden shades of light brown suit such girls, you can also opt for light brown, ash brown. Light brown shades should be chosen dim. For example, red or rich brown will not suit "spring" girls.
• Summer color type refers to contrasting and cold. People of the summer color type have gray eyes, white porcelain skin, which does not lend itself well to tanning. Ashy dyeing on light brown hair perfectly complements such an appearance. This is a pearly cold blond, ash tones at the ninth depth of tone. But copper, golden, brown warm shades are contraindicated for girls of the summer color type.

When is pre-clarification required?

Some dyeing techniques for light brown hair involve preliminary lightening of the entire canvas or separately selected strands (highlighting, balayage, ombre).Often girls refuse to dye after learning about the need for preliminary clarification. And they can be understood: the lightening procedure leads to injury to the hair structure.

The ends become dry, begin to exfoliate. However, if the hair color is naturally dark, then it is impossible to achieve a beautiful light brown shade without preliminary lightening.

If you nevertheless decide to achieve a beautiful light shade and are not against discoloration, then think in advance about the selection of professional hair care products. To maintain the health of the ends, maintain a beautiful shade and shine of the hair, you will have to use regenerating masks, concentrates, balms on an ongoing basis.

How to choose the right dye?

Seeing dozens of dyes on store shelves, customers are tormented by doubts. Which dye to choose? Well, all the abundance of modern dyes can be divided into two large groups.

1. Permanent permanent colorants provide long-lasting results. Hair after dyeing with such a paint 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 a persistent ammonia dye, then after six months or a year they begin to break in length, split. This can be avoided by using quality care products on a regular basis.
2. Ammonia-free dyes are more expensive than ammonia. The dye 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 the endurance leaves much to be desired. Since the composition does not include ammonia, the color is washed out rather 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 own pros and cons. Even the most expensive dye can make hair thin and cause hair loss. The factor of individuality cannot be ruled out when choosing a dye. If the hair is in poor condition and falls out, then it is better to completely abandon dyeing and start treating the scalp.

Advantages and disadvantages

Dark blond hair color used to be called "mouse" and tried to get rid of it in different ways. But with the development of the fashion industry, constantly changing global trends and the appearance of hair dyes with various shades, the color nevertheless gained its popularity. He, like other shades, has both advantages and disadvantages.

And before choosing a tone, you must carefully study all the information available on this issue.

• One of the main advantages of this color is its naturalness. After all, different shades of this color are quite common, which means that even dyed hair will look as natural as possible. Hair, dyed in a beautiful dark blond shade, always looks luxurious, rich, but at the same time unpretentious. The owner of dark blonde hair always looks fresh and feminine, as the color allows you to smooth out even the roughest facial features.

• Dark blond hair color suits almost any lady. It is impossible to spoil the appearance with this color, the main thing is to choose the exact shade. The dark blond shade is perfect for ladies who prefer dark tones, but do not accept black hair. In addition, dark blond does an excellent job of painting over gray hair, which is important for women of age. Any shade gets boring over time, but changing it to another is not always easy. Dark blond, in contrast to black, can be changed to ash blond, and this can be done quite quickly and without much harm to the hair structure.

• Another advantage of this color is the ability to give individual curls a lighter shade using highlighting, and, if desired, toning.After all, a large number of shades of this color is perfectly combined with both streaked and tinted curls. There are not so many drawbacks to dark blond hair color, but they are still there.
• The shade must be selected correctly, otherwise even the most pretty and not yet old young ladies may visually seem older than they really are. The wrong choice, of course, is not fatal, but dyeing does not have the best effect on the hair structure, so the exact choice of tone is important. Another minus of the dark blond color is the presence of initially shiny and silky hair. All shades of this color look beautiful only on healthy hair, and, unfortunately, not every lady can boast of such.

By cons of this color can also be attributed to its gradual washout. Of course, almost all dyes are gradually washed out, but not all of them acquire a greenish tint, like a dark blond color.

Unfortunately, the appearance of this shade does not depend on the type of paint, so to maintain the original color, you will have to regularly tint the curls.

Subtleties of painting

Of course, changing hair color without unpleasant consequences is best done by a professional hairdresser, since this shade is quite complex, and it is not always possible to choose it perfectly. When self-dyeing, it is not always clear what the resulting tone will be, therefore, when choosing, the original hair color is of great importance. It is he who influences the result.

On hair with one tone, the shade will turn out the same as indicated in the palette, and on hair with a different tone, expectations may not be justified.

In order for the result to please, and not upset, it is necessary to take into account some of the subtleties at the stage of paint selection. The selection of a shade must be carried out only with a special palette.

You should not be guided by the image on the box, as it is not always clear what the final tone will be. And the photo on the box does not always match the tone on the palette.

If the original hair color has a light shade, and it differs from the desired one by more than 2 tones, then you will have to do at least 2 stains, otherwise you will not be able to achieve the desired result.

In order for the color to turn out bright and saturated, re-staining must be done no later than 2-3 weeks after the first procedure. In 2 procedures, the amount of pigments in each hair will increase, and the hair will acquire the desired tone.

The natural dark hair color will have to be lightened before dyeing, and then toned with the selected shade. Hair dyed in dark tones (black, chestnut and other brown shades) will have to undergo such a procedure as a wash. And only after that, dye your hair a dark blond color. For heavily pigmented hair, this procedure is usually repeated, and for a cuticle that is especially "clogged" with pigments, do it again.

It is necessary to carry out restorative procedures between washes, otherwise the hair will look like tow.

It is quite difficult for red-haired beauties to repaint in a dark blond color, but still possible. If the redness is natural, then the paint must be selected according to its composition, it should contain blue or blue pigments, they do the best with the red tint. If a red tint on the hair is present due to the paint, then you will have to first apply a wash and only then dye your hair a dark blond color.

• Do not forget about possible allergic reactions to the components in the composition. Therefore, it is imperative to test the paint before use. To do this, a small amount of the composition is applied in the elbow bend area and wait a while. If there is no redness and rashes, then the paint can be safely used.
• You can check the selected shade for compliance with the declared color on a separate thin strand. The composition is applied to the curl, kept for the required time, washed off, and the result obtained is checked against the declared tone.If, nevertheless, doubts remain, then it is best to choose a lighter tone than a dark one, since it is easier to maneuver from light to dark than vice versa.
• It is not necessary to wash your hair 1-2 days before dyeing, but at the same time, the hair should not be too dirty, and certainly there should not be any styling products on it. On the packaging, the manufacturer, as a rule, indicates which hair the composition should be applied to.

Too dirty hair impedes the penetration of pigments into the cuticle, and excessively clean paint can "burn", they will become dry and brittle.

If the paint has been selected in accordance with all precautions, and the hair is properly prepared, then you can proceed directly to the dyeing. The compositions, and, as a rule, there are 2 of them in the box, are mixed in a container of a suitable volume. Either glass or ceramic dishes are great for this. Some paints do not require additional capacity, one composition is poured into a container with another, after which the resulting mixture is thoroughly shaken.

A special waterproof cape should be put on the shoulders, and the skin around the hair growth should be smeared with a fat cream. You can use a piece of cloth instead of a cape. And if the paint is ammonia-free, then the cream may not be used. The mixture is applied with a brush to pre-combed hair. It is better to start from the back of the head, from the root zone.

But if there are gray strands, then it is best to start dyeing with the most extensive zone of their growth, since it takes a little longer to paint over gray hair than for pigmented hair. It is necessary to distribute the paint neatly and evenly along the entire length of the hair.

The exposure time depends on the specific paint, the manufacturer always indicates it on the packaging and in the attached instructions. At the end, the hair is thoroughly rinsed with warm water, and then using shampoo. After that, a nourishing balm is applied to the hair and kept for a certain time. The dyeing procedure ends with rinsing, and then drying the hair.

Popular staining techniques: ombre and balayage

The most relevant dyeing techniques in brown-blond shades today:

• Ombre: smooth color transition from darker at the roots to lighter at the tips. For example, at the roots, the hair is dark blond or rich brown, and near the ears, the transition to light blond ash begins. You can discuss with the master the nuances of choosing a particular color and create an unusual and stylish look.
• Balayazh - a rather complicated, but very fashionable staining technique. The master applies light blond highlights to the hair using a special brush. Any dye can be used in this case. In some cases, pre-lightening of pre-selected areas of the hair may be required. As a result of dyeing, it seems that the strands of hair are burnt out in the sun in a chaotic manner.
• Highlighting is also still at the height of fashion. Only you need 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 strands either in warm colors or in cold ones. For example, choose golden, brown and copper shades of light brown for highlighting.

Go to the salon or dye your hair at home?

If you have no experience with dyes, then it is better to contact a salon. Modern dyes are fairly easy to use. So if you are planning a classic dyeing in brown-blond hair color, then it is quite possible to carry it out at home.

The main thing is to carefully read the instructions and observe the proportions of mixing the coloring composition with the oxidizing agent.

But if your goal is complex coloring (highlighting, ombre or others), then you should contact the salon and entrust your hair to an experienced master colorist. When trying to do complex staining at home, you may be disappointed. But the biggest problem is that the hair can be irretrievably damaged, you will have to do a short haircut.

Care for curls after staining

Dyed hair, regardless of color, always requires more thorough care than hair that has not been dyed. There are several guidelines for keeping your hair in top condition. In order for the hair, dyed in dark blond color, not to lose the brightness of the tone and remain shiny and soft as long as possible, you must use special care products. To date, there are quite a lot of such funds.

The main ones are, of course, shampoo and conditioner labeled "for colored hair." To restore the structure, it is advisable to apply a special mask with the same marking on the hair at least once a week.

To maintain the structure of the hair, it is undesirable to often use an iron, curling iron and hairdryer with hot air.The heating elements of the iron and curling iron, as well as the too hot air of the hairdryer, when in contact with the hair, destroy the structure of the cuticle, and the curls become dry and lifeless. The use of a curling iron and iron should be minimized, and drying should be carried out either with a hairdryer with the supply of warm air, or without it at all.

Various styling products also have an adverse effect on colored hair. Too frequent use of varnishes, gels and mousses can lead to hair breakage, depletion, and split ends. After all, hair that has been exposed to dye is more vulnerable to the chemical composition of styling products than those that have not been dyed.

Colored hair cannot maintain its tone for a long time, since the pigments are washed out over time under the influence of shampoo.

To maintain the tone, you need to purchase a tinting agent. At home, it is most convenient to use either balm or shampoo. The balm, of course, works more effectively, it will not only add shade, but also smooth and nourish the hair with useful substances. Ideally, if the tint is from the same series as the paint.

To maintain the tone of the hair, you can use not only chemical agents, but also natural ones. To give your hair a golden hue, a decoction with chamomile and lemon juice is perfect. It not only shades well, but also moisturizes the hair. You can add a brownish tint to your hair with a decoction of sage leaves. It perfectly shades and gives shine without spoiling the hair structure.

Conclusion

It is worth noting that light brown hair shades will never go out of fashion, since they are natural in themselves. Those girls who decide to change their appearance should use the service of professionals, since at home it is far from always possible to achieve the desired result during staining.
