Brown hair (more general dark hair) is characterised by very high levels of the dark pigment eumelanin and lower levels of the pale pigment phaeomelanin. Its strands are thicker than those of fair hair but not as much as those of red hair.
Brunette is the feminine of French brunet, which is a diminutive of brun, brune, meaning brown or dark-haired, ultimately from Latin brunus (brown). It therefore means "little dark-haired girl", but in English usage it has largely lost the diminutive meaning, and simply refers to any dark-haired girl or woman (which is simply brune in French). Brunette in common usage refers to dark-brown or black hair, especially dark brown hair. It describes a woman or girl having dark or relatively dark hair. Some people disagree over whether light brown or black hair counts as brunette, though the use of the term to cover a wide range of non-blonde and non-red shades of hair is fairly widespread. Women with lighter shades of brown hair may actually be referred to as "light brunettes". The term generally refers to Caucasians rather than those from races who virtually always have dark hair. Also, what is considered "light brown" can sometimes be considered "blond/e".

What you are, brown-haired. But only some people look good as brunettes. I'm not one of them. Thats why my avatar has blond hair.
