Pick a color that complements your skin tone.

When choosing between a dark brown and light brown, it is important to consider your skin tone. Do you want to wash out or enhance the color of your skin? For example, people with warm skin tones (olive and golden undertones) look best with warm hair colors—blondes, redheads or brunettes with golden blonde highlights. If you have cool skin tones (white or pink undertones), then cool-toned hair colors like dark browns and black should complement your complexion.

Choose a shade based on eye color.

When choosing a hair color, you should consider your eye color. Brown eyes are more versatile than blue eyes and can be paired with both dark and light shades of brown. If you have brown eyes, it’s best to choose a shade that contrasts with your eye color. This will make the contrast between your skin and hair more noticeable and show off your features more effectively. If you’re not sure what will look best for you, here are some flattering shades for those with brown eyes:

• Dark Brown – Dark brown looks great on people with fair complexions or light-to-medium golden undertones in their skin (light to medium olive). It will also compliment those who have pinkish undertones in their skin or hazel/green/hazel irises.* Light Brown – Light-to-medium dark blondes with either warm or cool undertones look good in this shade as well because it brightens up the complexion while still being natural looking enough not too stand out too much from other colors like blonde.* Blondes – If this strikes your fancy but you’re worried about maintenance issues between bleaching and dyeing, try going darker first then gradually adding more golden highlights throughout the year until they become full strands instead of just tips!

Go lighter or darker according to your lifestyle and time commitment for maintenance.

If you’re the type of person who wants to spend as much time on your hair as possible, go for a dark brown. It’s easier to maintain, and it won’t require as much maintenance that some lighter shades need. On the other hand, if you don’t want to spend a lot of money and time getting your hair done at the salon, or if you’re looking for something that’s easy enough to do at home (but still looks good), then consider going with a light brown hue instead.

There are many reasons why people choose between these two options: some like being able to get highlights without spending too much time in the salon; others prefer not having their roots showing every six weeks; there are even those who simply want more versatility in their life outside of work or school! But whatever your reason may be—whether it’s because you want an easy upkeep schedule or simply because it suits how often (or how seldom) you do other activities—choosing between these two shades can help ensure that all bases are covered!

Consider the subtleties of your new shade choice.

As you consider your options, keep in mind the subtleties of the shades. Consider your natural hair color, as well as which colors flatter your skin tone. If you have extremely dark brown or black hair and are considering a medium or light brown color, it may be best to choose a temporary dye that can be washed out easily if you’re not happy with the results—and if you have light-colored hair and are considering an extremely dark shade (like espresso), it’s likely that the color will wash out on its own after about two months (or more quickly if it’s been bleached).

Consider how much time you want to spend on hair maintenance. Some dyes require weekly trips to the salon for touchups (and if they’re permanent), others can last up to six weeks before needing some extra love from an at-home treatment kit. If you don’t want to spend any more time than necessary getting ready every morning, stick with what works for your lifestyle!

Choosing between dark and light brown hair color is all about knowing yourself, figuring out what flatters you best and what fits into your lifestyle.

Choosing between dark and light brown hair color is all about knowing yourself, figuring out what flatters you best and what fits into your lifestyle.

• Consider your skin tone. If you have pale or light skin with redness, it’s best to avoid the rich tones of a dark brown hair color. Instead go for something with more warmth, like a medium ash-based blonde that complements your skin tone without making it look muddy.
• Consider your eye color. Dark eyes will benefit from a lighter shade of brown because it brings out their natural luster while still providing noticeable contrast between the two colors (such as deep blue vs light chestnut).
• Consider your lifestyle and time commitment when choosing between a dark or light brown hair color! For example: if there’s an event coming up soon like an interview then perhaps consider going darker just before then so everything matches perfectly afterward (and therefore no need for touch-ups). But if there are no special occasions on the horizon then don’t feel pressured into switching hues every few weeks just because everyone else does it too – instead stick with what works best for YOU!
