Hairstyle Tips For Brunettes

Whether your hair is naturally brunette or color-treated, you can keep it looking its best with quality Professional hair care products.

Brunette Hair Styles: Short Hair Tips
If your hair is short, trying curling it, since lifting the hair upwards will showcase the under layers-which in Brunettes are usually nicely contrasted with the top. Cute bobs and flips also have the same effect. For a looser, tousled look, try using a larger barreled curling iron.

Brunette Hair Styles: Medium Hair Tips
The styling options for hair this length are virtually endless. Try wearing your hair up for a bit of dark-haired sophistication, or loose and slightly curled for a more romantic look.

You can also try a bun or a chignon, and accent the sides of your hair with cute barrettes. Brunettes tend to have natural color variations already, but for a more pronounced color contrast, you could always ask your professional stylist about temporary hair highlighting treatments.

Brunette Hair Styles: Long Hair Tips
Your gorgeous, dark waves of hair can be styled in many different ways, but long, sleek, healthy hair looks best when worn down. Try wearing a headband or some barrettes for a variation, or putting some of your hair into a ponytail. Just remember to have frequent trims, since split ends can make long hair look frazzled and unkempt.

Brunette Hair Care Tips, use a good daily shampoo and conditioner, preferably the one that your stylist recommends. Professional shampoos and conditioners are designed to clean, protect, strengthen, nourish, and revitalize your hair, without weighing it down, and come in a variety of formulas. Ask your trusted stylist which ones are right for you.

Do not over lighten. Many brunettes think that excessive lightening is a good idea, but the reality is that the darker your hair is, the darker your blonde highlights should be. The idea is to provide a complement or contrast with your natural hair color-not clash outright.

If you have color-treated Brunette hair, be sure to have your touch ups done at the salon. Unlike many products that claim to protect your color-while actually stripping it with a mixture of harsh and harmful dyes, true professional hair color products gently clean and soothe your treated hair, locking in color, moisture, and shine.

The health of your hair is a direct reflection of your overall health, so make sure to get plenty of sleep, drink lots of water, and get adequate physical activity to keep you, and your hair, looking great.
