Brunettes Have Just as Much Fun

While brown hair may be considered common, hum-drum, and way less glamorous than blonde hair, it also has a wide and rich variety of shades, ranging from brownish black to light brown.
Brown hair, which is genetically dominant over blonde, is due to a higher concentration of melanin in the hair shaft, and is often matched with brown eyes and a more even, or sometimes olive skin tone. It is the second-most common hair color after black hair.
On the plus side brown hair is generally thicker than its blonde counterpart, with around 100,000 strands per head, versus 140,000, but thinner strands on a blonde head of hair.
However, as hair ages, the contrast between gray or white strands and brown hair shows up much more than in blonde hair, causing many natural brunettes to resort to coloring their hair as soon as the first gray culprits appear.

Brown hair also has a tendency to lack in the shine department, and be duller than other hair colors. This means that brunettes must be vigilant and keep their hair moisturized with quality conditioners—try Beauty-id’s Daily Conditioner for a boost of moisture—and protecting it from the sun. You can boost your hair’s shine factor at home by rinsing with cool water after every shampoo, which helps to close the hair cuticle and make the light reflect more. An occasional vinegar rinse is also a fine way to encourage shine, but don’t go overboard or it will dry out your hair.
