Recently, many celebrities have switched to darker hair colors.
Jennifer Garner's sexy yet sensible cut and color is a great example of a hairstyle that would work for a wide variety of people. The color is warm and rich without being overpowering, perfect for those with medium skin tones. Such coffee tones will also keep your hair from looking mousy and washed out and may even help your hair appear fuller. The flattering shoulder-length cut with side swept bangs is also easy to maintain and style while offering high impact appeal. This cut would be perfect for anyone who wants to look professional yet sexy.
Women with olive skin tones may want to try the chocolate brown color sported by Teri Hatcher. Such rich, cocoa hair colors brighten skin tone and compliments dark eyes beautifully. Hatcher's hairstyle is a perfect look for women searching for a hairdo suitable for long hair. Voluptuous waves call attention to beautiful, healthy hair and showcase the luscious shade. Curls can be achieved with hot rollers or a curling iron with a two-inch diameter. After applying a small amount of styling gel or pomade, wrap the curling iron around small sections of hair. Allow the hair to cool before separating the curls with your fingers.
Women looking for a look that is a bit more bold may want to try the darker shades sported by Jennifer Connelly and Rachel Bilson. Connelly's deep brown hair complements her fair skin and blue eyes, and Bilson's nearly black locks emphasize the lovely texture and volume of her long, thick hair. Women with pale skin should be careful not to select shades that are too dark since the contrast between skin and hair color can create a severe look. Darker colors look great on long, straight hair that reflects light and creates a healthy sheen. Bilson's cut is long and layered with soft side swept bangs that draw attention to the eyes. The look is perfect for those who desire a longer hairstyle that is romantic, yet easy to maintain. Styling options for this cut include wearing hair straight or in loose waves.
If you want to change your look, going brunette may provide the transformation you are looking for. Brown shades can bring out your eyes and complement your skin tone while showcasing the beautiful condition of your hair. With so many celebrities making the switch to brunette, now may be the perfect time to try out a darker shade.
