For as long as we’ve had hair, we’ve always thought of ways to change it up. Dying it seems to be quite effective, so hair color trends always come and go: from the emblematic 90’s chunky highlights to rainbow hair, to pale rose golds and grays. That being said, one hair color that will always stand the test of time is dark brown. It’s pretty much timeless! 

It is undoubtedly one of the most common hair colors out there, so it kind of makes sense.

All this being said, it’s high time we stopped thinking of brown hair as being boring or dull. So whether you’re already a brunette looking to zhuzh up your hair, or if you’re just going brown for the first time in your life, you should know that it’s pretty much the safest bet: it’s bound to look good on you! 

Brown isn’t just one color or shade, there are countless undertones to choose from. A rich, warm mahogany; a cool-toned coffee, a warm honey, or a gorgeous chestnut… the options are endless!

We’ve already established that no matter your skin tone, you’re bound to rock brown hair, however, it’s important to choose the appropriate shade. In order to do so, we strongly recommend that you make an appointment at your favorite salon and consult a colorist. It’s probably a good idea to show up with some visual aids in order to give them an idea of what you like. And because we want you to achieve your perfect brown color, we took the liberty of compiling this handy little guide for you according to your skin color and undertones.
