Light Brown Hair Color Tip #1: Don’t forget the lightener!

When it comes to light brown hair color, you can’t just dye over dark hair. If your hair is already dark, you need to bleach it first. This process is called bleaching and it will make your locks extra blonde for the dye job. It’s important that you check with a professional before attempting this yourself—bleaching does have some serious consequences if done improperly (like burning or breaking off chunks of your precious tresses).

Before bleaching, you should talk to your stylist about their recommendations for pre-treatment options like toners and masks that can help minimize damage while also setting up your hair for optimal results when applying light brown color treatments.

Light Brown Hair Color Tip #2: Add Golden Tones

• Look at a color chart.
• Match your skin tone.
• If you have golden undertones in your hair, you may want to add golden highlights.
• If you have red undertones in your hair, it may be best to add red highlights or leave the ends of your strands dark and let them fade into a light brown shade toward the middle of your hair length.

Light Brown Hair Color Tip #3: Consider a Gloss for Lasting Shine & Color

The gloss is an easy way to keep your hair looking fresh for longer, and it can also help with the vibrancy of the color. Professional stylists use gloss to protect hair from sun damage and keep it healthy, so if you want to get the best out of your dye job then consider using a gloss too.

The gloss helps seal in color and protect your locks from UV rays which can cause fading. This makes sure that not only will you get more time between trips to the salon but also that when you do go back they won’t have any work at all!

Light Brown Hair Color Tip #4: If you’re starting with darker hair, start slow.

If you’re starting with darker hair, start slow. A lot of people are tempted to just go for it and get their hair dyed brown one day, but I recommend taking a more measured approach. There’s nothing wrong with being confident in your decision—I am too! But if you’ve never dyed your hair before or have only done so a few times, then it can be helpful to understand how the process works and what kind of effect it’ll have on your hair.

Once you’ve gotten an idea of how quickly this dye will work (and we’ll talk about that later), then test out some different kinds of dyes until you find the one that works best for you and your needs. Keep in mind that different people have different needs when it comes to dyeing their hair as well—some women want glossy locks while others prefer matte finishes; some guys like vibrant colors while others go for dark shades; some kids don’t really care what they look like anymore because they’ve stopped caring about everything else… anyway…

Light Brown Hair Color Tip #5: Keep Your Color Vibrant.

• Use Color-Safe Shampoo.
• Keep your color vibrant with a sulfate-free shampoo, like [this one](https://www.walgreens.com/store/c/triple-sulfate-free-shampoo/ID=prod6649542). If you can’t find one that’s on the shelf at your local store, don’t worry! You can order it online or ask a friend or neighbor who has a sulfate free shampoo to help you out.
• Condition Your Hair Daily (or Twice a Day).
• Use a leave-in conditioner to keep your hair soft and shiny all day long and help it retain moisture without weighing it down or making it greasy looking at all times of year including winter which tends to dry out people’s scalps more than summer does thanks to cold air conditioning systems everywhere! Or if you want something even lighter feeling I recommend using [this product](https://www.sephora.com/drybar-shineyness?icid2=CONDITIONER_PRODUCTS&startDate=20180328&endDate=20180531&Ntt=drybar+shineyness&SkuIds=P1017626&cmpid=AFFITN_15%20OFF%20P1017626) from Sephora which comes in an aerosol spray bottle so no need for messy hands after applying either way…just spray lightly onto dampened strands before blow drying them into place.”

These tips will help you maintain the color and keep your hair healthy.

• You can use a deep conditioning treatment once or twice a week. These products will help to moisturize and nourish your hair, which is especially important if you’ve lightened it with bleach.
• Choose a color-safe shampoo and conditioner so that the color of your new hue doesn’t fade too quickly. Light blond shades are particularly vulnerable; if you’re going for something lighter than that, look for specific products designed for lighter-toned hair (or consult an expert).
• Use heat protectants on both wet and dry hair when using styling tools like blow dryers or straighteners—these will keep your locks from getting damaged by all that heat! And don’t forget to skip the hot tools too often—it’s better for them if you just leave them alone most days.
