Dyeing light brown hair: methods and recommendations for choosing colors

The light brown shade of hair itself is rather unimpressive, not all owners of this color scheme have spectacular tints of wheat, ash, caramel or gold in their strands, which is why girls often resort to dyeing so as not to look like a kind of "gray mouse". Today, there are many interesting staining techniques, so every woman can choose the appropriate option in accordance with her inner self-awareness and style.

Light brown is a very multifaceted color that has many variations:

• ash-blond;
• reddish;
• golden;
• pale chestnut;
• copper.

Among all types of female hair color, light brown is the dimmest, it is no coincidence that most owners of such a shock tend to change color, giving saturation and depth - for this they change the strands to light shades or, conversely, give chocolate notes. At the same time, light brown color reacts very well to dyes, as a rule, a change in pigment does not pose any problems, so a woman can easily become both a feminine blonde and a sultry brunette. Multitonal coloring looks very impressive on a light-haired mop, when individual strands, as well as roots and ends, are tinted in different colors.

In the dyeing of light brown strands, there are two main directions. The first is toning in natural shades that are closest to natural ones. In this case, the curls acquire soft play, and the image is formed feminine and gentle.The second is coloring in contrasting poisonous shades, usually with the help of such coloring, the fair sex strives to stand out from the crowd, attract the attention of others, make the image unusual and colorful.

The fact is that in these states the hormonal background of a woman changes greatly, so staining can give the most unexpected results at the output - even if you are in a hurry to change your appearance, it is better to wait a little. Agree, you are unlikely to like the "leopard" color on the head. Do not wait for a change if you have recently dyed your hair with henna or basma. After processing with vegetable dyes, at best, when reacting with chemical paints, the new color will remain invisible, and at worst - the strands will acquire a brick-red hue, this not only makes it look unaesthetic, but also pretty spoils the curls.

You should not dye extended strands, since the structure of artificial hair differs sharply from native hair, therefore they react to dyes in a completely different way, and the final color is quite different from natural. And if Asian strands were used to make the tresses, it makes no sense to dye these curls at all, since they undergo a special treatment that makes the hair immune to toning. It is strictly forbidden to carry out the procedure for dyeing light brown hair if there are scratches, abrasions, and inflammation on the scalp.

Most women with a light brown head are not particularly happy with their natural hair color - they believe that it absolutely does not show the beauty of the hair, therefore, repainting light brown strands is so in demand in the hairdressing market. Light brown can be repainted in a wide variety of shades, let's dwell on the most spectacular options.

For the fair sex with light brown curls, repainting in light colors may be the best option. This option is favorably combined with noble pale skin and very light eyes - blue or gray. If the native blond is of a light tone, then the lightening will not cause any trouble, and if the natural color is dark blond, then a preliminary discoloration of the curls will be required, which leads to the appearance of the yellow effect.

Young ladies with dark blond hair are often dyed a tone or two lighter, this solution looks especially good on women of spring and summer color types, which are characterized by pale skin and bright blue or gray eyes. This coloring is preferred by many famous divas - Jennifer Aniston, Taylor Swift and Cameron Diaz. You can get a new light shade using coloring compositions, however, folk remedies give a pretty good effect - ordinary lemon juice, chamomile infusion, saffron broth brighten dark blond curls, while without any damage to the beauty of the hair.

One of the most effective ways to dye light brown strands is ash toning - an exquisite gray color is a harmonious combination with a cold skin tone and eyes, but girls with a dark complexion and dark eyes should refrain from such a color scheme. Shades of silver are optimal both for monochromatic dyeing and for all kinds of strand coloring techniques - the effect is quite stylish and a little mysterious.

If you can't decide what color to choose for dyeing your hair, feel free to try caramel tones. This soft shade will make any blond curls softer, and the look is sensual and feminine. In addition, caramel notes add pomp and volume to the hairstyle, therefore this performance is optimal for thin and sparse hair. It is noteworthy that the caramel shade combines both cold and warm tones, therefore it is considered universal for women of all skin tones and all eye shades.

Gold is suitable for women with fair eyes and warm skin tones. Wheat and honey shades refresh and visually make the face a little younger, and also give the haircut extra thickness.

Bronze coloring makes the image of a woman more aesthetic and stylish. Bronze notes are especially relevant for swarthy ladies with green and gray eyes. This color is often created through the use of natural dyes - henna and basma.

Quite a harmonious option for fair-haired girls. Chestnut is considered universal - it can make brown eyes deeper, and gives expressiveness to blue and gray. In chestnut notes, colorings of light brown hair are often done, combining them with caramel and wheat shades. The most extravagant women can create a transition from chestnut to burgundy on their hair - in this case, the look will be richer and richer.

Light brown hair color is quite easy to dye into a chocolate shade. It is one of the most demanded and popular coloring options, thanks to which it is in great demand among the fair sex of all ages. Several interesting shades are most relevant in the current season:

• milk chocolate - a light tone that is harmoniously combined with brown, as well as gray eyes and rather dark skin;
• bitter chocolate - is a deep dark shade that suits women with dark eyes and light olive skin.

If you find your natural shade too boring, then dilute it with soft sandy highlights, which create the effect of burnt hair on the head. The light color softens the features and has a pronounced rejuvenating effect. These tones are in harmony with both light and dark eyes, emphasizing the beauty of dark skin. Most often, such staining is done using the shatush, balayazh and ombre technique.

Mocha is a very refined and noble shade that looks good on women of both warm and cold color types - without exception, all owners of light brown curls can use it, while mocha looks different on each lady. On some, it shimmers with rich colors, making the image more daring and daring, while on others it acquires a muted matte color and gives the image a touch of sophistication and French charm.

And to slightly dilute the beige, you can complement it with ashy or pearl notes.

For owners of olive skin and brown eyes, honey tones are acceptable, such tones soften rough facial features and make a woman more youthful.

Deep black color makes the look bright, effective and sexy. However, the use of this color has a number of limitations. The color is only suitable for very young girls, as the shade ages. For women who have crossed the 30-year mark, it can be a real disaster. The skin should be healthy, any pallor, acne or inflammation becomes even more pronounced in the frame of the black strands.

Be prepared to tint the ends every 2-3 weeks, especially if you have light blond hair. Finally, keep in mind that it is very difficult to get out of black, almost impossible, since it is rather difficult for any kind of lightening and repainting. Usually it is first bleached with strong oxidants, usually hydroperite, this makes the hair dry and brittle, and the color is either orange or dirty red.

A very gentle and mischievous option is to paint the very tips of light brown curls in pink shades. This type of coloring looks great on young girls with very light skin and the same light eyes. Coloring is done with permanent paints, colored ink or crayons.

An ideal solution for ladies of a cold color type with gray or light blue eyes. Keep in mind that you need to use only the highest quality paints, otherwise the color will simply go reddish, and the image will no longer be cold. This shade is completely unsuitable for women with problem skin, red only emphasizes acne, pimples and other inflammations on the face. For girls with freckles and vascular mesh, such coloring is also not suitable, since from the outside it may seem that a woman does not take care of her appearance at all.

This copper color is suitable for the most daring and daring women who amaze those around them with their seething energy and eccentricity. If you are ready to be the center of constant attention, then red is for you. You can dye your hair completely, or you can create spectacular overflows from red, brown, burgundy and amber shades.

Temporary coloring allows you to refresh the hairstyle and give it a new shade without the use of persistent paints - this toning does not last long, a couple of washes, after which the composition should be applied again. The modern industry offers a wide selection of all kinds of tonics and balms, they are applied to damp hair in the same way as ordinary shampoos, thoroughly lather and withstand the necessary time on the hair. After that, wash off with plenty of running water - otherwise, the tonic can stain bed linen and clothes.

Keep in mind that you can use such toning methods no more than once every 3 weeks. Not so long ago, coloring with the help of crayons or colored varnishes came into vogue; this method of decorating light brown hair is resorted to before a fashion party or when going to a glamorous photo shoot - the effect of coloring lasts only until the first wash of hair.

Complete coloring is a change in the color of the entire head of hair, as a rule, in this case, monochrome coloring is used.This procedure is considered one of the simplest, you can even do it yourself at home. Coloring is carried out using paint and a brush, and for a more effective change in pigment for the duration of the exposure of the composition, a warming cap or hat is put on the head.

Many girls prefer natural remedies - henna and basma give a fairly good effect with one-color dyeing, henna gives the hair a slightly reddish tint, and basma makes the color scheme darker, chocolate brown.

In recent years, women of fashion give preference to partial coloring, and in this case, individual curls or sections of hair are lightened.
