31. Oak Wood Hair
Super warm but not overly red – this light brown hair shade mimics the color of oak wood beautifully. Though it looks like a solid color at first glance, there’s actually a lot of balayage here with deeper chocolate roots and an underlayer of lighter golden brown.
32. Peachy Brown Hair
This is the kind of light brown hair color that just brings joy! The streaks of peachy blonde over brunette tresses have that playful pastel effect, but they also add dimension and movement to the look. It’s not too sweet, though, thanks to edgy razored ends.
33. Chocolate Orange Swirl
The combination of chocolate and orange flavors is one of our favorites in a dessert, but it works beautifully for hair as well! Muted pastel orange streaks are chic rather than garish, and they add a bright touch to the light brown waves.
34. Chocolate and Nougat Hair
Subtle but sweet, this slightly layered light brown hair is the kind of look that doesn’t stand out at first but sticks in your mind later. The roots and mids are the same shade as sweet milk chocolate, while the ends are a little lighter and cooler just like nougat.
35. Voluminous Light Brown Hair
Talk about drama! The intense level of volume in this look comes mostly from styling, sure, but the dyeing technique helps a lot as well. Micro streaks of beige over cool, light brown hair add a ton of dimension and the illusion of volume, which is then amped up by the volume from curling, teasing, and incorporating that deep side part.
36. Cool Summer Hair
Want to feel cool for summer? This is one of those light brown hair shades that could help. The base of the hair is shiny and healthy cool brown with lighter ash highlights that amp up the reflectiveness without changing the undertone.
37. Chestnut Curls
This is the kind of hair that makes people go nuts! This chestnut-colored style features deep, espresso-colored roots with thinly-applied highlights in a warm, yellow-based light brown shade. Curled extensions give even more volume to the look along with a healthy dose of drama.
38. Flaming Light Brown Hair
Don’t let anyone put out this fire! The tendrils of golden orange highlights give this brunette hair a flaming effect that is only enhanced by the way it is styled into wispy, piecey waves.
39. Bronzed Brunette Hair Color
This is one of those light brown hair color ideas that’ll get you feeling like a bronzed goddess any time of the year. The bulk of the hair is actually quite dark, but a balayage combination of light brown and golden blonde gives a metallic, bronze effect.
40. Café Au Lait Hair
This hairstyle reminds us of our favorite coffee beverage. Espresso roots give way to more latte-colored mids and ends. The light brown color was applied in a soft, hand-painting technique that makes things look very natural, despite the originality of the placement.
