brunet
Chestnut-locked male
A brunet is a man or boy with brown hair.
The word follows the French pattern where brunet is masculine and brunette is feminine, though in American English brunette has largely taken over for both sexes.
Brunet remains the technically correct form when describing males: He was a slim brunet in his twenties.
