How to achieve light brown hair color
- With natural brown hair, it is sometimes difficult to achieve a pure light brown color. Hair is dyed either red or reddish.
- To avoid undesirable shades in chestnut strands, you should choose a cool color, chocolate or hazel.
- Soft, warm shades are often a source of red in color, especially with gray hair.
- You can get a light chestnut hair color using natural dyes - henna and basma. Pour 8 g of basma and 18 g of henna with water, mix, and apply to hair for 1 hour.
The color pigment will last much longer with a series of shampoos for colored hair. In between dyeing, you can use tinting agents - they will make the tone deeper and give your hair shine.
How to deal with the light root effect
- Side parting is recommended. Parting in the middle automatically emphasizes the regrown hair roots. You should never do that.
- Keeping hair clean. Regrown roots are noticeably less visible on clean hair.
- It is necessary to create a volume of hair. A bouffant will help.
- Hairstyling back will also help hide the flaw for a short time.
- You can take eyeshadow. Light for blondes, dark for brunettes. Apply evenly to sprouted roots. You shouldn't be afraid, nothing bad will happen to your hair.
- Dry shampoo or texturizing spray will work. They increase the volume and the problem is not so noticeable.
- Headwear, hat, cap, scarf can also be used. A wig is also a good tool, not only in the fight against regrown hair roots, but also as a means to change the image. Use curlers and curling irons to give your hair an unusual look.
- Using hairstyles like Brigitte Bordeaux. A headband on the hair, followed by a shock of combed hair.
- Voluminous hairstyles are recommended.
- Applying a hair concealer. Spraying at a distance of 20-30 cm from the surface of the hair, you can get the effect of tinted roots; the pigments in the concealer are not afraid of moisture, they will not smear hands and clothes, but are washed off with the subsequent shampooing.
Hair should be dyed from the roots, and then along the entire length. The ends of the hair are dyed last. In this case, it is desirable to moisten them, the paint will be absorbed less intensively.
Features of hair dyeing
- Mix the paint components included in the package according to the attached instructions. For the initial dyeing, a tube of paint is used in full, when re-dyeing only the hair roots, half the tube is enough.
- Mix the ingredients thoroughly until smooth.
- Smooth hair back. It is good to do the staining procedure in front of a mirror.
- Next, the paint is applied along the hairline. Separate with segmental parting, i.e. divide the scalp into 4 parts.
- The resulting partings are stained.
- Then, strands up to one centimeter thick are highlighted from the resulting zones and painted over.
- Having painted over the roots of the hair in this way, completely paint over the hair along the entire length.
- When choosing a shade of paint, you should rely on a natural color.
- The duration of the effect of the dye on the hair lasts 20 minutes, so it is worth doing the work at an accelerated pace.
- After 20 minutes, wash off the paint.
- It is advisable to treat the hair with an oxygen cocktail after washing. It will add shine, beauty and health to light brown hair.
How to maintain hair color for a long time?
- Maximum time intervals between staining are recommended.
- Before the coloring procedure, it is advisable to soften the hair.
- Hair should be washed with cool water.
- Using a suitable shampoo.
- If necessary, use a pigment shampoo.
- When caring for your hair, it is advisable to use protective products.
- Complete rejection of intensive funds.
- Care should be taken when conditioning.
- Refusal from hot styling products.
- Protection of hair from external influences.
- Use a delicate comb.
In addition, there are four main methods of keeping hair healthy:
- Using natural ingredients for hair care. A variety of care products promise great results, but contain ingredients that are bad for hair. They dry hair, make it brittle and dull. When switching to natural products, oils, creams made on plant extracts, saturating the hair with useful components, the effect will immediately become noticeable. Hair will become healthy, will acquire a fresh look and natural beauty.
- After washing, wipe the hair gently, but do not wring it out. Then let it air dry on your own.
- Use a comb rather than a brush. Thanks to this, you can protect your hair from traumatic effects. A comb is best used with wide teeth.
- Hair should not be washed in hot water, it must be cool, which will give them a healthy look. It is recommended to wash your hair no more than 3-4 times a week, this will give them time to recover.
A beautiful and shiny chestnut shade will give the hair an infusion of strong black tea: 2 tbsp. l. 2 cups of hot boiled water, leave for about 20 minutes. After applying to the hair, cover it with a bag and a towel for 15 to 40 minutes (depending on the desired shade intensity). Do not rinse.
For hair restoration, you can use castor or burdock oil.
Apply the heated oil to the hair along the entire length, if it is oily, avoid contact with the roots, cover your head with a bag or towel for an hour and a half and rinse well. After shampooing, rinsing with a mild vinegar solution will give color and shine to light brown hair.

How to choose the right color and tone of paint to get the desired color:
I like the paint from L'Oreal most of all, it really paints my natural light brown in light chestnut well. The paint lasts a long time, the only small drawback, at first the color is darker than it actually is. But after 2-3 trips to the shower everything is normal.
I also love Loreal paint. I paint it for 20 years already. Previously, there was a good color - hazel, and then disappeared from the shelves. I take paint 6.32. Recently I wanted to have a lighter color and I began to mix 2 tones - 6.32 and 8.13. On average, it turned out to be 7 tones.Even my hairdresser really liked the color.
