About Light Brown
Light brown is achieved by lifting dark brown hair one or two levels. That’s gentle on the hair, and when the roots grow in, the contrast isn’t harsh. Golden reflections keep the shade lively, and a colorist can add an ash pigment if you prefer a cooler light brown. It can be done with permanent color or a light lift.
It’s at its most natural on warm and neutral undertones. It looks elegant on both long layers and medium straight cuts, and brings out the texture of a shag. It’s also one of the shades that stays natural on a beard, and in Mane you can color your beard too with a single tap.
What’s the difference between light brown and honey blonde?
Light brown is a brown; honey blonde is a blonde. Light brown needs less lightening and looks more natural, while honey blonde is brighter and more noticeable.
Does light brown work on a beard?
Beards naturally grow a little darker than head hair, so light brown looks natural on a beard too. In Mane, you can try it with the apply-to-beard option.
