Reinvent your brown hair!

Perched right in the middle of its colour set, medium brown hair is an extremely versatile shade. A quick glance at the shades of brown hair colour chart and you can see the sheer range: from the lightest brown tones to deepest black-brown. Your medium brown hair colour definitely places you at the best possible point to experiment.

##Go darker##

If you haven’t tried chocolate or dark brown hair colour, it’s time to sample this warm, inviting shade that’s always on-trend. For a natural take on it, try Garnier Color Naturals Shade 4 - Brown to replicate its warm, luxurious tones. This rich and long-lasting hair colour comes with a superior colour lock technology and is enriched with 3 essential oils – olive, almond and avocado that leaves your hair looking shiny, silky and nourished. For slightly more drama, take your medium brown hair colour deeper to black-brown. This dark brown hair shade is perfect for replicating celebrity ‘glass hair’ looks. Be sure to use colors  with the right level of vibrancy to achieve this high-gloss look: like Garnier Color Naturals Shade 3 - Darkest Brown is great for achieving the intensity and shine that makes this look shimmer.

##Go lighter##

There are several shades of light brown hair colour to choose from, too. The popular ‘bronde’ fuses brown, bronzed tones with shades of blonde to create a light medium brown hair colour with a golden edge. Get it with Garnier Color Naturals Shade 7.3 - Golden Brown. For a sultry caramel brown hair colour, go for Garnier Color Naturals Shade 5.32 - Caramel Brown.

##Highlight your hair##

If you’re not too sure about all-over change, you can enhance your brown hair colour with highlights. A splash of blonde or light brown might be all it takes to add a new edge to your look. Try balayage for adding lighter tones to your hair – scatter some buttery beige-blonde highlights up front with this freehand, painted-on colour technique. Or, channel those sunkissed highlights that adorned your hair on your last beach holiday. Color your ends golden brown and your lengths a rich honey, leaving your roots as they are, for an ombré look that plays on hints of summers past.

For a really nuanced and natural all-over look, try ‘strandlighting’. This meticulous method uses several related shades across your entire head, but only a few strands are placed in each foil, to mimic the shade variations that occur naturally in hair.

Pick and choose from these hair colour ideas to play with your medium brown hair, and discover your latest fun look.
