Brunette hair may be common, but it doesn’t have to be boring! Medium-length brown hair can benefit from a wide variety of layers, highlights, and styling techniques that can make the look your own. So, are you looking to switch up your basic brunette? We have the hottest styles for 2022 below.

Medium Brown Hair Color

Read on to see 30 medium-brown hair styles to suit your every need.

1. Shoulder-Length with Blonde Ombre

A touch of blonde is the perfect way to lighten and brighten the overall appearance of your brunette locks. Focus a lighter, subtle blonde shade on the bottom half of your hair for a natural-looking effect for medium-brown ombre hair.

2. Subtle Dark Brown Balayage

Sometimes, a few subtle highlights are all you need. Create a medium-brown balayage style with lighter tones to brighten and add depth to brunette locks that are all one color. Focus highlights on the ends of hair and face-framing strands.

3. Lowlights for Thick, Curly Hair

Highlights can add depth, but we love the effect created by these medium-brown hair lowlights. This color is 2-3 shades darker than your base, and enhances the built-in dimension created by thick, curly locks.

4. Thick, Natural Texture

Natural medium-brown hair has tons of natural dimension, so you don’t have to overdo it with highlights, although subtle high and lowlights look gorgeous. Let wispy, beautifully frizzy texture do all of the talking.

5. Classic Chignon Up-do

Lots of different up-dos suit medium-brown straight hair but a classic chignon is always a winner. Thick hair will benefit better from a style with more distribution of hair around the head to prevent any tension from forming on the scalp.

6. Medium Brown Hair with Highlights

The shoulder-length hair is the perfect hair length that suits all face shapes. This hairstyle presents a straight look where the entire length is equal.
