BE A GOOD BRUNETTE










If you're going to be a brunette you may as well be the best kind. What constitutes the best kind is shiny, full of dimension and reflective of tones. What does that mean to you ? Probably nothing that's just colorist verbiage. In my mind being a brunette means all in every tone and level accounted for and mixed to skin tone enhancing perfection. Anytime I personally mix any color wether for a full on transformation or a simple rework I make it a point to factor seasons, for example in the winter months I always add a gold tone, not to be confused with red. An unintended red tone on a brunette will most definitely throw out the idea that your color has oxidized or your red has faded. So unless you commit to full blown red give it up you're just going to end up throwing out half assed Joan vibes. 





NO.






Things to remember: 

  1. Dimension is everything. Three different variations of similar colors is a sure fire way to not only look natural but eye catching.
  2. Shine. My favorite colors always involve a gloss of 1-2 levels lighter with a high pigmented version of the root color to create contrast and depth.


Moral of the story, you need a slightly darker root, and a high pigmented gloss. Call me crazy but one formula will never be enough.
