Spicy Brunettes

Brunette hair has always managed to make heads turn with an appealing mystery attached and the same will hold true for spring/summer 2010. Not everyone wants brown hair with lighter highlights, and a great choice for brunettes is adding finer highlights or slices with shades of spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, all spice, mocha and coffee beans .Brown hair can look sometimes helmet like so it needs dimension and by breaking it up by adding these tones helps to create a softer silhouette for this season. Remembering that brown shades do have the tendency to end up brassy in the summer so the key is knowing what exactly you want to use in your formulations to create not only a striking hair color but also preventing this possibility of happening.


Go to your spice rack, studying the colors of all the brown food spices and yes even coffee beans will allow you to see the shades you can create in hair colors for your beautiful brunettes. And this year’s brown hair color options also work double duty in balancing sunkissed skin tones of a brunette, something most of us never think about (will this color look good on tanned skin) and most brunettes in my option need equally cool and warmth in formula or placement of tones which equals neutral for summer brown hair to work in harmony both for hair and skin.
