Tired of blonde, the road back to brunette

Having become tired of the upkeep of blonde hair, our naturally brunette client wanted to change out her extensions and go back to her natural brunette color.

When hair has been stripped of color, the sylist needs to first re-deposit the natural primary colors to get back to brunette.

Just depositing a neutral brown color without adding back the missing primary colors will almost always result in a greenish tinge to the new brunette color.

This is when you need to have a stylist handle the tint back.

The photos show the stages of coloring to get our client to her natural color.

After adding the red/orange colors back, we finally added a rich brown color, which you see in the end result.

This is a corrective process that requires 2 to 3 applications of demi, or semi permanent color. We never use permanent colors to tint back to natural. It is unnecessary and causes damage to the hair.

If you desire to go back to a darker color, consult a stylist, this is not something you can achieve by grabbing a box of color over the counter.
