Light Brown Hair Color Ideas To Try In 2020

For most of us Pinays, brown is the first hair color we've ever tried. After all, it's the second most natural-looking shade to black, and it's not too difficult to maintain. We won't be surprised if you've stuck with the classic color for years! At one point, though, you'll naturally want to switch things up, especially before a new year (or rather, a new decade) arrives. Our recommendation? Go a few shades lighter! The subtle update will make a big difference. For inspiration, check out these light brown dye jobs: 

1. Ash brown 

   Take a break from your usual warm brown hair color, and try this cool-toned shade for a change! A mix of brown, silver, and gray, it complements both fair and warm complexions, and it's just as office-friendly as your go-to warm hair colors.

2. Light ash blonde 

   As its name connotes, this shade is a smoky blonde. Of course, it'll require more bleaching sessions to lift off the red and orange-y undertones in our Asian locks. But once achieved, the cool gray-ish hair creates an edgy contrast against warm complexions.
