@maxineeglynn
This medium-brown copper-gold color was created by master stylist Maxine Glynn of Freehold, NJ. “The bests thing about it is its strong bronze tone and that it has a shiny shimmer of copper gold. Pairing it with a soft wave really helps to bring out that shimmer,” explains Glynn.
With this medium-brown color, Glynn says you have to be very comfortable with the copper tones. “A bronze hair color still has brown so it’s very soft and natural but definitely has a lot of copper tones so you have to really love that and want to see that.”
Medium-Dark Brown Ombre
@michael.colourist
This medium-dark brown ombre was created by hair colorist Michael Dawood of Toronto, ON. “Brunette women have almost always expressed a preference for a “lightness” throughout their highlights without the color coming across as too blonde,” says Dawood. “Medium-brown locks can have a slight reddish tint with certain color combinations.”
Maintain your new dark hair with a variety of hair treatments that promote shiny hair. This also promotes healthy-looking hair and minimizes the chances of accumulating hair breakage from the bleach that is used.

“This is a soft medium-brown balayage with a soft-layered hair cut to keep density at the ends. The loveliest thing about this hue is the seamless blend from chocolate brown to caramel with no harsh starting points,” explains stylist Kalli Wyssen of Vancouver, BC.
Balayage is a technique that can be used on any hair type and face shape and is completely customizable to fit each woman’s goals and personality.
“Using a professional shampoo and conditioner is a must when doing hair color medium-brown,” says Wyssen. “Doing so will preserve the color and integrity of the hair.”
This specific color placement is perfect for women new to color or women who want a low-maintenance change.
