19 Light Brown Hair Colors That Are Seriously Fierce

Why cheating on your current shade is the year's best new hair commandment. Ahead, the light brown looks your locks are craving.

Light Ash Brown
A slightly softer (and less dimensional) shade of bronde, this ashy, light brown hair color is having a total moment. As Victoria's Secret model Josephine Skriver so elegantly demonstrates, the sophisticated neutral effect is still exceptionally natural looking, making it the low maintenance and perfectly wearable color of our dreams.

Cocoa Brown
Papanikolas describes this luxe hue as a "pale, cool, pearly brown that looks beautiful on fair skin." We can't get enough of Gigi Hadid's slightly darker hue as of late, which makes perfect sense considering the model's pale complexion and light features.

Sandy Brown
Though she's dabbled in lighter and brighter shades of blonde, this cool, neutral shade is Cara Delevingne's signature. Another eye-catching variation of bronde, it's a beautiful complement to those with cool undertones. Pro tip: To determine your undertone, look at the inside of your wrist! If your veins look blue or purple, you have cool undertones and if they're on the greener side, you have warmer undertones.

Sun-Kissed Brown
The brightest in the bunch, this drool-worthy light brown shade has us dreaming of sandy beaches, ice cold bevies, and lips that don't chap the second we leave the house. A tad more blonde than brown, this sunny shade is incredibly flattering, says Papanikolas, as it can be customized with either cool or warm highlights to suit your skin tone. Supermodel Nina Agdal demonstrates, and we're raising our hands (we know you know the Emoji).

Bronde Brown
If you were to type bronde into your search bar, chances are Olivia Palermo would be the first (of many a Hollywood face) to pop up. The girl just gets it, and consistently nails the coveted hybrid shade. Oh, and if you're looking to channel Palermo's impeccable shine/gloss/all around unicorn hair situation, Papanikolas recommends a lightweight mist like Matrix Biolage Sugar Shine Illuminating Mist, $20, to create an A-list worthy finish.
