brown-haired
Having auburn tresses
Brown-haired describes someone whose hair is brown—the range of shades between blond and black.
The term appears most often in physical descriptions: a brown-haired woman in her thirties, the brown-haired boy on the left.
Like other hair-color compounds, it functions as a simple identifier rather than carrying much connotation.
