What is the best color of brown to dye my hair?

Answer by  DStone (817)

An auburn or honey toned color will bring out light reflecting tones of red or blonde and give your hair more definition and shine. This is the best way to keep looking natural as high or low lights can look really fake and trashy. Also, a texturized cut won't effect the length much but will add shine.

Try a darker brown. For example, a dark chocolate brown will make your hair look a lot healthier. Light colored brown will make your hair look thinner or unhealthy. A caramel, reddish brown would also work well. You may want to try a few different "washable" dyes before you use a permanent one, to see which color you like best.

If you would ask the opinion of a hairdresser, she would probably tell you one shade lighter or darker than your normal color will look best.

The color of the brown isn't really as important as the amount of bronzy copper you need to add to keep the shine on your hair. Usually people go about 2 shades darker with the brown and do like a copper brown that will keep it from being such a drastic change when you do it.
