1. Consultation is the key. Play with hair colour swatches near your face to get an idea what tone of brunette would suit your skin and eye colour.
2. Indulge in a weekly moisturising mask. Shiny brunettes look great if your hair is healthy and nourished.
3. To disguise any roots and to keep your colour looking fresh, make sure you get hair coloured every 6-8 weeks.
4. Experiment with different tones, add a bold surface colour with a different shade around the face to create more depth. Adding warmer highlights will bring out new dimensions in brunettes.
5. Going from blonde to brunette can completely change your look and you will need to adapt your make-up to suit. Dark hair makes your features more shadowy so your eyes will require extra definition.
6. Never go more than two shades darker than your natural colour to keep it looking natural.
7. Semi- permanents are the best colours designed when achieving darker shades. These colours gradually fade and contribute to a shiny finish, which will add a great focal point.
8. Balancing cool undertones in your complexion try warm hues like chestnut brown, auburn and cinnamon. Ebony brown, mocha and violet based colours will enhance the natural warmth of your skin.
9. Deep dark tones of espresso and inky black look striking next to blue based complexions. Warm hits of wine illuminate but don’t overwhelm deep natural browns.
10. Shampoo and conditioner formulated for brunettes bring out the best in your colour. Avoid the awkward greys showing with Roux colour crayons. This root blending product is great because it temporarily covers roots until your next colour visit.
