Dark brown is a deep brunette shade that always gives off a glossy, shining appearance. Though it works for most complexions, it brings out the warmth in darker skin tones. How to rock it on medium length and what haircuts to choose? Let’s see.

What To Know About Dark Brown Hair?

When you have the opposite color, consult with a professional to get a proper color correction and ask your hair colorist’s honest opinion. Please make sure you’re comfortable with its maintenance. Use color-safe, sulfate, and parables-free shampoo and conditioner. Get regular gloss treatments and touch-ups every six weeks.

In some cases, it can make you look older especially if it’s just flat color without any lighter pieces. Also if the skin complexion is really pale, the artificial dark hair color is a bit unnatural and can make you look older than your age.

The darkest brown color for hair has a depth on a level 2 and has a cool, almost blue reflection to it. One level below is black hair, the darkest. All professional coloring brands around the world have the same numbering system starting from 1 black to 10 lightest blonde.
