Who suits and who should abstain
According to fashion stylists, when choosing a shade of strands, you always need to build on the color of the eyes. Light brown will perfectly match walnut eyes (similar in shade), as well as green, hazel and blue.
If the natural color of your hair is close to ash or dark blond, then even lightening is not needed. And if the hair has a rich light brown, then clarification will be needed.
Stylists advise girls who have beautiful dark skin or the so-called "olive" to take a closer look at:
- warm and soft light colors;
- honey and golden notes;
- red or bronze tint;
- caramel tones.
Those whom nature has awarded with light, delicate face skin and light eyes, it is better to opt for a cold light brown.
Women who have very light natural eyebrows and eyelashes should choose the tone of their hair with extreme caution, because after the strands are dyed light brown, both eyebrows and eyelashes can simply "disappear".
To do this, you need to use the services of eyelash and eyebrow dyeing masters.
What are the overflows
Very attractive shades of light brown curls that adorn absolutely any woman provide a lot of scope for styling.
- Light brown will go well with both dark skin and "porcelain".
- Of course, it is impossible to call ash brown natural, but it is incredibly beautiful. The shade is very "complex", and it is not surprising that modern girls fell in love with it. It is both cold and warm at the same time, so it will suit both dark-skinned women and those with light transparent skin.
- Light golden will help women with brown eyes become brighter, and it is suitable for both dark complexions and fair skin.
- Reddish-brown strands can look light, but still be bright. Such a light brown tone is an excellent choice for women of any color type. You should definitely "try" this shade for those with green or brown eyes.
- Light brown is also at the peak of popularity. In its natural form, it can be found quite often, but, as a rule, it looks a little "boring". Some turn to a stylist to add saturation to the natural shade with a slightly brighter paint. The result of such manipulations is shining hair that will shimmer in the light of the sun's rays.
- Copper brown is one of the trends of 2021! This color looks incredibly attractive: on the one hand, a light brown tone, on the other, reddish overflows of copper. When choosing this color, keep in mind that the skin should be light, and the eyes are better if they are brown.
All shades of light brown are divided into cold and warm. For example, cold ones are light blond and ashy. They are better suited for those with gray or blue eyes and light, delicate skin.
Warm tones with overflows of copper, amber, caramel, as well as brown-red are a guaranteed good choice for women with dark skin and brown or green eyes.

Which paint to choose
If you decide to paint in the salon with a professional stylist, then he will definitely recommend you a shade and paint.
In the case of painting at home, you will have to choose the paint yourself. However, for the first time, it is still desirable to change the color in the cabin. Then you can adjust the tone to get the desired result.
If you want to completely change the color and use a coloring agent to mask gray hair, then you cannot do without chemical paint.
By the way, for the first home coloring, if you do not have a task to radically change from a blonde to a fair-haired woman, you can try using a tint foam, shampoo or balm.
When dyeing for the first time, it is worth stopping at a shade that is no more than two tones different from your natural one. Your curls are created by nature itself, and only they are most harmoniously combined with eyebrows and eyelashes. With a drastic change in color, you must be prepared that your entire appearance will change. For example, your eyebrows will look lighter and your face paler.
Another reason in favor of not too radical changes at the first staining: if you are not satisfied with the result, you will not be able to return "as it was" right away.
All commercially available hair dyes are of three types:
- natural;
- chemical;
- physical dyes.
The first is henna. With its help, you can achieve a certain result, but only light brown-red.
Physical dyes are temporary dyes.
A tinted shampoo or balm will help you appreciate the new shade, and the product itself will be washed off after one or two shampoos.
If you have made your choice, you will have to resort to chemicals. If, with a change in shade, it is necessary to remove unpleasant gray hair, choose permanent paints that contain hydrogen peroxide, which provide a long-lasting result.
You should give preference only to well-known brands - so you really get the desired effect, the scalp will not itch after application, and the pigment will not be washed out for a long time.
As mentioned above, nature itself has created in the aggregate your face, skin, hair, eyebrows and eyelashes. Therefore, radical experiments should not be carried out. Plus or minus two tones is your color.
Home dyeing
The undoubted advantages of the salon procedure include the fact that the master is guaranteed to carry out the staining professionally, and it will be uniform.
If you decide to change at home, it is advisable that you already have certain skills (for example, you painted your girlfriends several times). Be that as it may, on your own, especially if you are the owner of long hair, it will be difficult to do this and it is advisable to attract a friend to help.
So, you made up your mind, purchased a paint from a well-known manufacturer, of course, pre-checked its expiration date. You can start preparing.
You do not need to wash your hair before coloring, as well as use shampoo after.
In the usual procedure, you will need directly the dye and a special brush. It is inexpensive, and you can buy it in a specialty store. Most likely, you will not need gloves either, since every self-respecting manufacturer supplies them in a set - you will find them in a box. But just in case, when buying, do not be too lazy to open the box and check their availability.
Another item that you cannot do without is a comb with frequently spaced teeth. It will help to form strands, it is desirable that it has a thin "tail", it is convenient for them to separate the partings when distributing the composition with a brush.
So, with a full color at home, follow the following algorithm:
- Dilute the composition as written in the instructions (it is attached in the box).
- Process the roots with the resulting mixture, spreading the composition with a brush. You need to move from roots to ends along the entire length of a single strand.
- To do this evenly, the conditional division of the entire volume into four zones will help you.
- You need to work quickly, this will provide you with uniform coloring.
- All strands must be carefully, but gently combed to evenly distribute the composition.
- It will be convenient to fix the dyed curls with "crabs".
- Be sure to wipe off any paint that accidentally gets on your face, such as your forehead.
- Now you just need to withstand a certain time, which the manufacturer indicated in the instructions.
- Rinse off the dye thoroughly.
- Use a balm that is also supplied by the manufacturer.
The time for holding the paint has not yet expired, a few minutes before the end, you can carry out the emulsification procedure: slightly moisten the curls with water and massage them vigorously. This will further distribute the composition along the entire length.
Care for colored curls
Everyone wants to maintain a rich color for a long time. But even if you have chosen the most resistant paint, and you have gray hair, you will have to tint the roots in any case.
Proper care will help you enjoy your new shade for as long as possible without damaging your hair for a long time.
Here's what hair stylists recommend:
- Do not wash your hair using shampoo on the day of dyeing, so that the dye contained in the product penetrates into the hair structure as deeply as possible. Professionals recommend waiting three days.
- If you have never dyed curls before, then you probably did not pay attention to a special line of products for colored hair - shampoos and balms. They are now a must in your bathroom.
- Don't forget about a moisturizing conditioner, because any shampoo has an alkaline environment that balm or conditioner that has an acidic pH balance.
- Try not to overheat the strands, and we are talking about both styling devices - hair dryers, irons, etc., and the usual sun. Even the highest quality dye will burn out much faster from heat exposure.
- Wash your hair gently. This means that the process should not resemble washing in a washing machine, if you have ever been to a professional salon, then you understand what this is about.
- The advice is obvious: use shampoo less often. Two to three times a week is enough to keep your hair fresh and clean.
- Provide nourishing care. Spare some money and buy regenerating masks in a professional store, their principle of action is based on the fact that they kind of "seal" the hair, respectively, preventing the dye from being washed out.
To prevent the dye from fading for a long time, you can replace your usual shampoo with a toning agent once a week.
This will not affect the hair (if it is, of course, not light green). Buy a toner that matches your hair tone as much as possible.
