Dark brown hair coloring at home that won't look flat?

I have naturally dark brown hair and would like to get my hair close to that. It is lighter in some areas from past highlights. What is a good hair color for dark brown hair that won't come out looking flat or boring?

Any helpful tips or suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!

Use a semipermanent tint such as L'Oreal Color Spa or Clairol Natural Instincts. They don't contain as much peroxide as the permanent tints, and the darker colors last a good long while.

Don't go with the very darkest brown tints; they tend to put too much tint at the ends and after a few uses you end up with black ends. Stick to the warm browns and auburns.

Good luck! I really like L'Oreal ColorSpa -- it seems to add more shine, and colors in the red/auburn shade range don't have a "purple/eggplant" cast. Hope it works well, and Happy Holidays! Report It

you could dye your hair auburn without bleaching it so it will be dark but it has a red flare.

I wouldn't recommend dye from the box... I did that, wrecked what was left of my natural color and hilights, and had mousy-looking flat dark brown that ended up looking almost black!

Go to a pro and you won't regret it. They have dyes that do shimmer and look good. Probably what would make your hair look best is get an all-over rich brown and SUBTLE hilights no more than a shade or so lighter.

At-home dye BAD BAD BAD idea.

But.... if you decide to do it one word of advice--if you want dark brown go with a medium brown because it always turns out darker. Warm colors will look less flat. But be warned, home color looks nasty most of the time!

I started using L'OREAL Natural Match. I use the 4W Dark Golden Brown. For me it covers what grays I have, it lasts real well %26amp; it gives my hair dimention. I like it...

Go for something with red in it. Reddish browns won't look as "muddy" and drab.
