How to Choose the Right Brunette Colour

Find your level

Brown shades run roughly from level 2 (darkest brown) to level 6 (dark blonde). Pick a shade within one or two levels of your natural hair for the most natural result.

Warm or cool

Choose chestnut, caramel and mahogany for warmth or espresso and ash browns to keep brassiness down.

Lasting colour or gloss

Permanent brown covers grey and lasts; demi-permanent glosses refresh tone and shine.

Maintenance

Use colour shampoos, brunette masks and root sprays to extend time between colour services.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What brunette products are in this collection? You will find permanent brown shades from Osmo Ikon, FFOR and Thrive Co, demi-permanent glosses such as Osmo Ikon Glossy Gloss 5.0 Light Brown, Brelil Caramel Chestnut CC Colour Cream, colour shampoos, brown root concealer sprays, L3VEL3 Hair Fibres in Brown and the Wella Professionals Color Fresh Mask Cool Espresso.
2. Why are some vivid shades in the brunette collection? Shades such as Crazy Color Blue Jade are tagged for brunette because they can be used on darker bases for a tinted effect. Bright fashion shades will be subtle on unlightened brown hair.
3. What is a cool versus warm brunette? Cool brunettes such as espresso and ash brown have little red or gold, while warm brunettes such as chestnut, caramel and mahogany show red or golden reflects.
4. What are hair fibres? L3VEL3 describes its Hair Fibres as powdered building fibres that make hair look instantly thicker on patchy areas. They are a cosmetic cover-up and wash out.
5. Can I go from brunette to a lighter brown? Going one or two levels lighter usually needs permanent colour with developer; more than that needs a lightener. A hairdresser can advise on the safest route.
6. Is there a brunette colour mask? Yes, Wella Professionals Color Fresh Mask Cool Espresso is a colour-depositing mask that, according to Wella, refreshes deep brunette tones while nourishing hair.
7. How do I make brown hair look glossier? A demi-permanent gloss, such as Osmo Ikon Glossy Gloss 5.0 Light Brown, adds tone and glass-like shine, according to Osmo, and fades gradually.
8. What is a mahogany root spray? L'Oreal Professionnel Hair Touch Up Mahogany is a temporary root concealer spray that covers regrowth and greys until your next colour appointment, according to the brand.
9. Do I need a patch test before using brunette hair colour? Yes. Do an allergy alert (patch) test 48 hours before every application, even with a brand you have used before, and a strand test to preview the result. Stop and seek advice if you notice any itching, redness or swelling.
10. What base level do I need for brunette hair colour to show? Brown shades work on almost any natural base. To go a level or two lighter you need a permanent colour with developer, while going darker or richer can be done with permanent, demi-permanent or gloss shades.
11. How long does brunette semi-permanent colour last? Permanent brown grows out and does not wash out. Demi-permanent glosses, such as Osmo Ikon Glossy Gloss 5.0 Light Brown, fade gradually over several weeks.
12. How do I stop brunette colour fading so fast? Colour-safe shampoo, cool rinses and a brunette colour-depositing mask such as Wella Professionals Color Fresh Mask Cool Espresso help keep brown rich and less brassy.
13. Can I use permanent brunette shades at home? Permanent and demi-permanent brunette shades, correctors and intensifiers are professional colours that are mixed with developer and are intended for trained hairdressers. For home use, the ready-to-use semi-permanent creams that need no developer are the simpler choice, and you should still patch and strand test first.
14. Will brunette dye stain my skin, basin or towels? Brown dyes can mark skin along the hairline, so apply a barrier cream and wear gloves.
15. Can I mix brunette shades to make my own tone? Professional brown shades are mixed with developer at the brand's ratio and can be intermixed within the same line to adjust warmth or coolness.
16. How do I remove or tone down brunette hair colour? Removing permanent brown requires a professional colour remover or lightener. A hairdresser can also lighten with highlights rather than an all-over change.
17. Should I apply brunette semi-permanent colour to wet or dry hair? Most direct-dye creams such as Crazy Color, Manic Panic, Adore and Joico Color Intensity are applied to clean, towel-dried or dry hair that has no conditioner on it, so the pigment can grab evenly. Always follow the instructions on the specific product, as development times differ by brand.
