A light golden brown hair is a lighter brunette hair color with hints of golden tones. It’s a rich and radiant hue that will add warmth and brightness to your hair.
New Jersey hairstylist Kelly Mccormick gave me all the deets on this sunny shade. Her number one tip? “Always keep the dimension in your hair to break up the color. This will give it some depth, so it will appear a pretty golden brown and not a flat brassy color as it washes up,” she says.
Kelly also shared a few points to ponder before getting a color appointment. “Will the tone look good on you? Know if your skin tone looks better with warm or cool tones in your hair. Sometimes, you see a photo and love the hair because it looks good on that person. But then it isn’t really the right fit for you.”
Another reminder from her is to talk clearly with your stylist. “Showing pictures helps a lot. Sometimes just saying the color to your stylist may mean something different to you than it does to them.”
Finally, I asked about her must-have product to have on-hand and keep things fresh. “I would recommend blue shampoo to keep the orange tones out. After some time, brassy tones may come through. A blue shampoo won’t completely get rid of the warmth but will control the brass until your next visit,” she tells us.
