A light golden brown hair is a lighter brunette hair color with hints of golden tones. Its rich and radiant hue will add warmth and brightness to your hair.
New Jersey hairstylist Kelly Mccormick gave me all the deets on this sunny shade. Her number one tip is? “Always keep the dimension in your hair to break up the color. This will give it some depth, so it will appear a pretty golden brown hair and not a flat brassy color as it washes up,” she says.
Kelly also shared a few points to ponder before getting a hair color appointment. “Will the undertone look good on you? Know if your skin tone looks better with warm or cool tones in your hair. Sometimes, you see a photo and love the colored hair because it looks good on that woman. But then it isn’t the right fit for you.”
Another reminder from her is to talk clearly with your stylist. “Showing pictures will help a lot. Sometimes just saying the hair color to your stylist may mean something different to you than it does to them.”
Finally, I asked about her must-have product to have on hand and keep things fresh. “I would recommend blue shampoo to keep the orange tones out. After some time, brassy tones may come through. A blue shampoo won’t eliminate the warmth but will control the brass until your next visit,” she tells us.
This glam hue will surely get you shining under the sunlight in no time! Here are pictures of light golden brown hair colors for inspiration at your next hair salon visit!

A medium brown shade called ‘natural level 4’ forms a stunning base for creating perfect golden highlights. Ask your stylist to apply both slicing and weaving techniques to your hair.
