Help with brassy hair colour!

0 replies

BlueRaspberry7 · 11/04/2025 08:18

I regularly get my hair dyed at a salon: it's dark brown shoulder length hair, going grey, tending towards frizzy / curly and fine.

I ask for an all over rich chocolate brown that will cover greys and not look too dark or dull.

The result has recently been more brassy than I would like - especially in the changing spring sunlight.

I know I can't expect miracles and it's not possible to lighten hair with an allover colour

But is there something different I should be asking for?

Is it just not possible to cover greys on dark brown hair without an element of brassiness?

Should I just be using a toner after colouring to tackle it?

Thinking of just using a box dye in future and saving on the salon price tag.

Thanks in advance for any tips!
