Any tips on box colour dye please

[bananaskin123]

Can anyone give me some advice or tips on which box colour dye might suit my hair. I've always thought of myself as having auburn hair but being honest its a boring light brown with quite a lot of grey. I've tried Garnier Olia gloss (cowboy copper) but my hair turned out rather "mauvy". I'd rather try a 24 wash one as I wash my hair everyday so if it turns out to be a disaster it will soon fade. Maybe going lighter might be a better idea.

Any tips gratefully received.

Castings or Nice'n'Easy Semi-Permanent. Go for one near but slightly lighter than your hair colour.

I have light brown hair and I use a dark blonde box colour (nice n easy). The blonde covers the grey and as a softer colour blends well with the brown.

@WallaceinAnderland ,me too.

I use the L’Oréal preference one in 6.21 it’s cool toned light brown and it by far the best I’ve used. It’s slightly lighter than my natural colour but I have loads of grey. It covers greys brilliantly, it’s not red based and it fades out nicely between redoing it and doesn’t go orange. I bulk buy it when it’s in offer so I never run out!
