Choosing a Solid Hair Color

Solid hair colors offer an ideal solution for dramatic style with low maintenance requirements. However, when selecting a stylist, they must use shampoos that won’t strip your paint and products that will prevent premature fading.

Semi-permanent colors

Semi-permanent colors do not contain hydrogen peroxide or ammonia, preventing lightening effects on your locks. They will, however, create an eye-catching contrast against your natural shade of hair color.

Warm Brown

Brown is an elegant shade with natural sun-kissed tones that perfectly accentuate golden or olive complexions. Chocolate brown, light honey, and mahogany tones look stunning paired with golden or olive complexions. Chocolate, light honey, and mahogany shades are great options. For something darker, try opting for cool ash-brown hues with copper highlights; these neutral tones make green-brown eyes stand out.

Medium brown

Medium brown is an adaptable shade, whether you choose a wavy brunette style or sleek straight. A cinnamon or toasted almond tone perfectly maintains natural tones and enhances blue or green eye tones perfectly! This hue also works beautifully when applied over gray hair to accent blue or green hues in your eyes.

Beachy casual bambi brown

Beachy casual bambi brown is the perfect combination of blonde and brunette hairstyles. Ideal for fair-skinned ladies with blue, green, or brown eyes. Regular deep conditioning treatment should help avoid unattractive brassiness.

Cool Brown

Cool-toned brown shades typically lean toward an ashy shade with minimal red or orange undertones, making them the ideal choice for women with cool skin tones and can be worn as an all-over solid hue and the base for ombre or balayage highlights.

Mushroom brown

Mushroom brown is the ideal shade to test out without going all-out dark; its semi-ashy brown shade recalling portobello mushrooms will look gorgeous against most complexions, and celebrity stylist Kristina Kaeding suggests adding face-framing highlights as part of its combination.

Light ash brown shades

Light ash brown shades offer another excellent way to lighten up their look. With their subtle ashy undertones, these lighter tones conceal gray hairs while looking natural on cooler skin tones. Experiment at home using L’Oreal Paris Superior Preference Fade-Defying Shine Permanent Hair Color in High-Lift Ash Brown for best results.

Natural Light Brown

Natural light brown hair color is an elegant classic that compliments most skin tones and eye colors. Copper shades, in particular, work particularly well for those with fair and medium complexions; while golden chestnut works better on people with tanned or olive faces.
