Is a girl or woman with light or lighter brown hair a brunette?

Is a girl or woman with light or lighter brown hair a brunette? I know dark-brown or black hair, especially dark-brown hair is definitely brunette. I’m pretty sure medium brown hair can be considered brunette because brunette is sometimes defined as having dark or relatively dark hair and medium brown hair is definitely relatively dark hair. I’m not sure if light or lighter brown hair is really brunette.

Answer #1

Brunette I am sure would be preferable to “dun colored” as they refer to in pugs. Yes, any shade of brown on a woman is considered to be brunette. There is a point of lightness that we refer to as “sandy blonde”, but that is kind of a judgment call.

Answer #2

Any brunettes that has brown in their hair.

Answer #3

You mentioned people with black hair…they are NOT brunettes. Only brown hair.
