How would you describe this?

It’s a neck-length cut for brown curly hair. It’s super voluminous and for women with naturally curly, thick hair. The color is a medium warm, auburn brown – perfect for autumn.

What’s your best advice?
It takes a little time to figure out what products work best on your hair. What works for one curly girl may not work for another. Use a sulphate-free shampoo or a co-wash (a cleansing conditioner).

If you decide to embrace the curly girl method, give it time. It takes a few weeks to a few months for your hair to transition.

@fergalwella

Combining balayage with a chin-length textured haircut adds dimension and fullness to your cut and color. Warm-toned balayage highlights on brown hair are subtle yet striking and add shine to renew your hair color. Together with balayage, a chin-length bob haircut with layers, adds texture and fullness to fine hair. Blow-dry your hair upside down to add volume and smoothness. Add texture at the same time using a flat iron to give your hair messy waves.

19 Trendsetting Short Brown Hair Colors to Consider

@brazenhairbaltimore

Pick a light brown asymmetrical pixie if considering going from a longer length to a shorter one. When wearing short hair, styling products are necessary. Sea salt or thickening spray offers texture and grit. A pomade or wax, meanwhile, gives life to a lived-in, messy hairstyle.

Look at this long pixie on natural brown hair. Breathtaking, huh? The texturizing on this short brown hair require a lot of slide and point cutting techniques. If going for a more lived-in look, Paul Mitchell’s Invisible Wear Pump Me Up hair powder is a good product.
