2. Honey Brown Locks with Face Framing
Frequent or improper hair coloring can damage straight hair, making it look flat and dry. For this reason, we recommend natural, softly layered hairstyles. Achieve the effect by adding pigment only to the existing strands without changing their natural tone, as Jhony Bayerl demonstrates here.
