• Brown haired women with bangs or fringers should go for a side swept style. This will keep the hairstyle from overwhelming the face; in fact, it can enhance the facial feature if you can find fringes that suit your face shape.
• Opt for a sleek look because it makes hair look elegant and tones down the dark color of the hair.
• Try combing brown hair back towards the neck and then forming an updo or ponytail. This is a classic look that works every single time for brown haired women and never fails!
• Layering is also a great choice of hairstyle for brown hair. Those with light brown streaks on their hair can also work a layered hairstyle really well.
• If you do not want layers, go for a soft wave and allow some of the strands to fall off naturally from your updo. This is a chic look that also exudes casual sophistication.
• If you dare, bobs also work with brown hair than most other colours. Go for a voluminous bob and do not worry about it being too dark because it helps to frame the face.
• Braids can also be a great option for styling brown hair. The intricate design infuses a more sophisticated flair to your look while also showcasing the natural shine and lustre of brown hair.
• When it comes to volume, try to maintain balance and avoid an overly voluminous and poufy hairstyles on brown hair. The natural colour of hair already gives off a heavy and dark aspect to the hair so going for large and voluminous hairstyles can overwhelm the face. A loose hanging hair, side swept hair or fringes, and semi-updos can do the trick!
