Long Brown Hair

Long Brown Hair is a sophisticated look. Even if you're already a brunette and looking to go up or down in shade, there are some important factors you need to consider.

Choosing the Right Shade

When making a drastic change, it's recommended that you slowly ease your way into the color over a couple of weeks. Staying within the color range for your tone helps to make your brown look more natural.

After you determine whether you're "warm" or "cool" you should find a picture in a magazine that comes as close as possible, then make an appointment with your stylist for a consultation.

Warm Brown Colors

Skin Tone (Golden Brown, Pale Peach, Freckled, etc.)
Eye Color (Mostly Green, Blue, Golden, Brown, etc.)
Hair Color (Honey Brown, Auburn, etc.)

Cool Brown Colors

Skin Tone (Dark Brown, Olive, Pale but Pink, Bronze, etc.)
Eye Color (Dark Brown, Gray Blue, Dark Blue, etc.)
Hair Color (Black Brown, Ash Brown, etc.)

Once you are comfortable with your new long brown hair color, you can either continue visiting a stylist, or find a home coloring kit that works for you. Going darker is often the easiest to maintain, with little risk of missing your ideal shade.
