Light brown is a shade that flatters all skin tones and hair textures, making it a great color choice for blondes who want to darken their hair without needing a radical makeover. Best of all, you can still choose between traditional light brown hair and golden light brown, another darling of those who want to bet on the brown tone!
To help you change the color of the strands, we teach you how to make the transformation from blonde to light brown, including tips on what to do before, during and after dyeing. Check it out!
From blonde to light brown: how does the darkening process work?
Much is heard about the discoloration process, when it is necessary to remove the natural pigments from the strands to apply a light color. But what about when the goal is to darken the wires? Because know that the process is much simpler!
If you have dark, medium or light blonde hair, you just need to apply a color that goes directly to light brown. On the other hand, if your hair is very light, it is recommended to darken the strands little by little, that is, choose a dye that darkens up to three shades of your blonde hair to avoid unwanted reflections and damage to the strands. After taking care of your hair with the treatments that we'll teach you later on, just apply the color and achieve the light brown hair of your dreams!
Light brown x light golden brown: which color to choose?
When looking for references about light brown hair, you may come across two colors: light brown and golden light brown. The difference between the two colors is quite simple, diva! Light brown is a neutral color, that is, it does not have reflections that can be seen in sunlight. Neutral light brown is ideal for those who prefer a homogeneous tone, which gives a minimalist and discreet look. The color can be achieved with the Light Brown 5.0, by Cor&Ton, which has high pigmentation to prolong the color in the hair.

The light golden brown contains golden reflections in the coloring, which can be seen in good lighting. It's a good option for those who like golden blonde but prefer a darker tone to change the look! Unlike light brown, golden light brown is an option to lighten the hair due to the golden reflections. For divas who want to achieve the lit brunette look at home, the Light Brown Golden 5.3 by Cor&Ton is a great choice to achieve the effect of sun-kissed hair without having to invest in hair with highlights.

How to take care of hair to go from blonde to light brown without harming the strands
Even though the process of darkening hair with coloring is less damaging than bleaching, hair care is critical to achieving perfect light brown hair. For this, our suggestion is that you set up your hair schedule to recover damaged strands and ensure that your hair is healthy for the procedure.
The hair care routine includes hydration, nutrition and reconstruction treatments to restore all the hair's needs, such as vitamins, water, lipids, nutrients and proteins. This replacement is done through specific collections for each treatment and, for a deep treatment, treatment creams are the most used.
To make the capillary schedule, you only need to book at least three days a week to do each treatment - with the exception of reconstruction, which must be done once a month or every 15 days in healthy hair. To ensure your strands are healthy, you can do the routine for a month before investing in light brown hair.

How to dye your hair at home to go from blonde to light brown
If you want to save money to conquer light brown, nothing better than dyeing your hair at home! The process becomes simpler and faster if you follow a good step by step, so read carefully and prepare yourself in advance.
Before starting, do the strand test taught in the box to make sure your hair can handle the color. After that, gather all the accessories you'll need: towel, plastic bowl, brush, wide-toothed comb and a watch to tell the time. And, of course, you'll need your Light Brown 5.0 or Light Golden Brown 5.3 coloring! Check it step by step:
Step 1: put on gloves and insert the entire contents of the tube with the oxidant into the vessel. With the brush, mix until the consistency is homogeneous;
Step 2: separate dry hair into small strands;
Step 3: apply the mixture starting at the roots and continuing along the length and ends;
Step 4: comb the hair with the wide tooth comb to distribute the product. Massage the root and length to also ensure that all the hair is with the product;
Step 5: let the product act for 40 minutes;
Step 6: after letting the product act for the indicated time, rinse thoroughly until all the product is removed. It is not necessary to apply shampoo.
How to use the FixaCor sachets: apply the first sachet right after rinsing, let it act for 3 minutes and rinse. The second and third must be used 15 and 30 days after the transformation date.

Learn how to take care of light brown hair after transformation
After betting on light brown or light golden brown, it's time to take good care of your strands! The diva must continue making the capillary schedule to keep the strands shiny and healthy, but focusing on the reconstruction stage to repair the damage caused by the coloring.
Whenever you finish your light brown hair, apply a combing cream that has a UV filter to protect your hair from damage caused by ultraviolet rays, which can dry out and weaken the strands. If you use heat tools, such as a flat iron, babyliss, diffuser and dryer, it is worth investing in a combing cream that also has thermal protection, as the high temperature can cause early color fading.
