25 Light Brown Hair Colors That Are Super Low-Maintenance

Natalie Portman is one of Hollywood's most consistent supporters of light brown hair. She's kept the color, which we assume is close to her natural shade, fairly similar for years. In this Oscar-worthy look, her light brown locks are cut in a chic bob, and are highlighted with thin streaks of blonde hair on either side of her face.

Nicole Richie's light brown hair verges on blonde, but we're still counting it thanks to her darker roots. It looks like she's in the process of growing out the color, which gives it an effortless vibe. We love how the golden strands frame her face, and of course, her bouncy, trademark curls.

Starting with her raven roots and melding into a light-brown bob, Beyoncé's curled tips add some flair to her already chic look. To get the perfect curled tips on a short cut, try the Nano Ceramic Curling Iron ($60).

Though Brit beauty Alexa Chung has gone darker with her hair color as of late, we're still not over this perfect light brown color she was sporting a couple of years back. Her dark-to-light brown ombré is subtle, but showcases a bit of her signature edge.

We can't decide what we like more, Ciara's soft feathery fringe or her multi-tonal brown hair that goes from dark to light and back again. We love that she's playing with light and dark hues with her makeup, too—her smokey eye contrasts nicely with her nude lip.

Emily Blunt is known to be a hair color chameleon (somehow she pulls off any color, from super blonde to dark chestnut brown). We have a special place in our hearts for the gradient, undulating light brown color she's sporting here, which almost borders on strawberry blonde.

We can almost feel the summer sun when we look at Victoria's Secret model Josephine Skriver's one-shade light brown ponytail. Even though there aren't any obvious highlights or ombré happening, it still looks bouncy, bright, and dimensional.

Jourdan Dunn's light brown color is basically a master class in achieving the perfect gradient ombré. The color seamlessly transforms from dark brown at the root to caramel blonde at the ends, and her long layers add some texture to her sleek mane.

Although she was born and raised in New England, Mandy Moore truly embodies the California girl aesthetic. Her textured beach waves are complemented by her equally beachy golden-blonde ombré highlights. (For similar texture and wave definition, try spritzing Verb Sea Texture Spray, $18, from mid-lengths to ends).

Cleo Wade's ringlet curls are the perfect shade of caramel. Aside from replicating the color, we'll be replicating that perfect curl pattern by using a curling iron alongside a touch of Moroccanoil Curl Defining Cream ($14).

Jessica Biel is another celebrity who is synonymous with light brown hair with blonde highlights. This style here is classic Jessica: simple and beachy, with a middle part. Her low-maintenance styling looks casual and polished at the same time.

Gisele Bündchen is always seen with hair that's dyed varying shades of "bronde," or a brown/blonde hybrid color. Here, it's more brown than blonde, but her soft and subtle highlights could make you do a double-take. As always, she's rocking her big, glossy waves.

Another supermodel, another light brown hair color. We can't get over Nina Agdal's super soft blonde highlights. They meld into the rest of her brown hair so perfectly, they're almost too good to be true. Do you think she could teach us how to perfect that naturally tousled look?

Chrissy Teigen has been a pioneer of the light-brown hair trend, and it's easy to see why. We love how the soft, sweeping waves in her long bob perfectly shape around her glowing skin, which looks equally good on the Grammy's red carpet or at home in her hilarious Instagram stories.

It's always exciting to check-in on Olivia Palermo, because you truly never know what hair color she'll be trying next. While she's prone to versatility, Palermo is known as a brunette, and this light-brown look fits her like a glove.

Every photo taken of Sofia Vergara looks like it could be used for a luxury shampoo ad, and this one is no different. Her long, golden brown locks have a full, beachy wave. If you want the same carefree look, there is literally a curling iron called The Beachwaver ($129). That should do the trick!

Here's a throwback for you. Remember when Miley Cyrus had light brown hair? Here she is pictured on the red carpet with a lovely light-brown ombré look...at the Hunger Games premiere. Where has the time gone?

While Cara Delevingne is known for her blonde hair and dark, thick eyebrows, we loved her light-brown hair moment. Her middle part and long waves were classic Cara, but the rich, tawny hue was a delightful and beautifully executed surprise.

Several years ago, Karlie Kloss ws sporting a light-brown bob that we obsessed over, so we're pleased to report that this look has returned! Rather than the beachy waves she tried before, she has sleek, straight locks, with a dramatic side part to boot.

We're always in awe of Jennifer Lopez, but this shoulder-length chop in this gorgeous brown/blonde color left us especially mesmerized. Her chestnut brown locks perfectly complement her bronzed and glowing skin.

Ashley Tisdale is also a proponent of a black-to-light-brown ombré. Her jet-black roots transition into a chestnut brown, gradually lightening until ending with toasted brown tips. Lucky for us, Ashley is always changing up her brown hues, so we can always check-in for inspiration.

Lucy Hale's hair color is hard to pin down, but the mystery only elevates it's wow-factor. In a certain light, it looks light brown and in another light, it looks dark blonde. One things for certain—her natural raven roots adds a kick to her sleek bob.

Shailene Woodley's golden brown hair is a sight to behold, especially when styled in a deep side part and slicked back behind one ear. Her long mane looks smooth, sleek, and chic. To mimic her shine, we'll be using Alterna Haircare Caviar Infinite Color Hold Top Coat Shine Spray ($32).

Jessica Alba, to us, is basically the poster child for light brown hair. She's been rocking the color for years, and it always looks fresh, light, and youthful. Her soft brown and caramel tones are beautifully accented with the her gold earrings and copper colored dress.

Miranda Kerr's light brown hair looks best when styled in a wavy, textured lob. The key to this look is volume, which Kerr has at the roots of her hair. Try using Ouai Volume Spray ($26) for a similar boost.
