20 Best Hair Dye For Brown Hair (2023 Updated)

I DYED MY HAIR!! And I trusted a box dye. Simply Color Medium Ashe Blonde by @schwarzkopfusa – Need without alcohol and other harsh ingredients that could damage your hair. It is what it advertisers, simply color.

👱‍♀️👱‍♀️👱‍♀️👱‍♀️ I have been growing out my natural hair for over a year now and was VERY apprehensive about coloring it, particularly because a lot of blondes have had a bad experience with this particular brand… 🚨BUT @schwarzkopfpro has listened to their customers and reformulated the Simply Color line.

🚨 I was offered an opportunity to try it again, and this time…. I actually did it! (See my previous post) @influenster ▶️SWIPE▶️ for before and after!! I will say that my hair was already kind of gray and on the ashy side to begin with, and it did make it a bit more golden.

But the final color matched the description on the box, I found the conditioner to work well, the products were easy to use, and I have no adverse side effects. I appreciate that this line is formulated with gentle ingredients, rather than harsh chemicals, because I’m very concerned about hair breakage and fall out right now.

I will say that the color didn’t seem to grab on to my grays as well as it could have, but that is probably because the hair was so much lighter than the color result was supposed to be. I do enjoy that it left in my hair is natural color variation, rather than dying it all one flat monotone shade.

I would try those hair dye again, and I am surprised I’m saying that. 👍👍👍 I suggest doing some research yourself on the ingredients, if turning to a less abrasive chemical die sounds good to you. They also have a complementary staff of professionals that will help you pick the perfect product.

I Used the intense expresso shade 4. 0. To begin my hair was a dark warm brown on the ends from previous dye and my natural medium golden brown color at my roots-mid lengths. the hair color covered my hair pretty evenly which was surprising! the hair color doesn’t smell bad and was so easy to apply! The formula of it is easy to apply and not super messy! The only thing I didn’t particularly like was that the color tube was so tough to squeeze the color cream into the developer!! The packaging on the color tube was very stiff and just so hard to squeeze it all out of the tube into the developer I wasn’t able to get all the product out into the developer it was rough this is one thing I wish they’d change to make the packaging easier to squeeze the color out of.

The actual applicator bottle is great though and so easy to use!!! My hair is below my shoulders and one box was JUST enough color to cover my entire hair and so if you have long hair 2 boxes may be better but you may be able to get away with just one.

The hair color shade itself is BEAUTIFUL! It’s a super dark brown that appears ALMOST black—- but it’s not black! It’s a dark gorgeous rich shiny multi toned dark deep brown that changes tones depending on what lighting your in! It’s that perfect dark brown that’s nearly black you see on women and think wow what is that shade!! but it has the pretty brown/ warm tones in the sun and certain lighting that makes it so perfect! If you want that perfect rich shiny dark brown that’s almost black but isn’t this is the shade your looking for!! It’s so shiny and such a very natural -yet exotic looking beautiful unique shade!! It’s perfect 🙂 if your on the fence just try it I promise !! I truly love the shade so much ! I also enjoy that the dye is free of ammonia alcohol ppd and ppe and I love that it has healthy ingredients in it! :).

Schwarzkopf Simply color VoxBox 💕When I received this Schwarzkopf hair color I looked them up and was happy to see the emphasis on a 100% recyclable carton being used for hair color. I also saw that Schwarzkopf Simply Color is available in many shades and some gorgeous blondes of course for the #SimplyColorBlondes 👱‍♀️collection.

Color results are pictured on the side of the box, 1 thing I would improve is to have the color results picture be a little bigger. When I shop for hair color I like to make sure that it is ammonia free.

This one is and it is also silicone and alcohol free✅. This all helps with keeping it gentle on my hair. The explanations for use are easy to follow✅. The post color Nourishing conditioner is a generous 1.

7oz, which I appreciate having long hair. It says it is 4 applications. I left it on a little longer than the suggested 2 minutes and it felt really smooth and conditioning to the length of my hair. Inside the lid is a reminder note✅ of your shade # and for when to buy your next box, I thought that was a nice touch💕 @SchwarzkopfUS #SimplyColorBlondes.

After many years of using chemical hair color, my hair was dry and I was losing a lot of it. I did a lot of research and khadi was often mentioned. I decided on the golden brown and have absolutely no regrets.

My hair is so strong and shiny. I should have used natural hair color a long time ago.

This is the one and only for me!! If the store is out of it I’ll go to a different store or order it online. I have been using this product for such a long time I would be devastated if they stopped making it.

I am very serious about my hair because I had a problem after I had my son I was losing my hair in clumps and I was so so upset I’d cried for days so after that I don’t put a lot of stuff in my hair so this product I like it and trust it I have 0 damage to my hair and it’s got the prettiest undertones.

Love this product.

I selected the wrong color, I actually use 3RR. But since we’re here, I do find that this product became my go to for hair color. No damage experienced. I have very long hair to my waist, so I always used two boxes.

Because I had that warm red color I added hair oil and an ion intensifier to make the color pop. I bought this from Sally Beauty and they gave spot on recommendations for products to use together.

For those of you who are medium to light brown and looking to cover up orange tones and to go a shade darker than this colour is for you. It had NO red or orange hues. It’s an ashy warm colour with golden reflections in the sun.

I will keep using this colour, it makes my hair so glossy, better than any other colour I’ve achieved in a hair dresser! The colour holds and doesn’t fade but to keep it rich I would use their colour protect conditioner to make it last longer.

The only thing about photo hair dyes is their colour descriptions aren’t correct, I’ve often trusted what they call their colours and ended up with way darker hair than I wanted. I wouldn’t call this a dark blonde, I’d call this a medium ash.

I would never normally consider colouring my own hair and have upto now spent a small fortune having multi-tone blonde highlights every 8 weeks or so, but lockdown has left me fearful of revealing more of my now natural mousey-grey roots than I feel comfortable with, so it had to be done.

I deliberated for a while on which product, which shade etc. but finally settled on this one and it was perfect! I felt a little nervous, wondering how I’d ever go outside again if the colour turned into a random shade of khaki (as in a hair colouring horror story I read) and having roped my husband in to help, he too was feeling the pressure.

Once we started it all seemed really easy and the excitement about the result began to grow. Unlike other products people have told me about this one didn’t itch or sting or have an obnoxious smell -so far so good.

After I washed the colour out I slathered on the lovely smelling conditioner then rinsed again to reveal. a nice warm shade of blonde. I didn’t wash it again for 72 hours as some reviewers have suggested but I am unsure tif there’s any scientific reason for this, however the colour is really, really beautiful.

It’s produced more than one shade of blonde but in a soft natural way and looks only marginally different to my reasonable expensive salon’s efforts. I will definitely buy this product again-maybe I had beginner’s luck- but if my next attempt gives the same amazing results I can’t see why I’d pay a colourist again.

Swapped to this brand as it offered the colour I wanted which had been discontinued by my regular brand. On a plus side I’m sure there is more mixture in the bottle than what I previously had, but on a minus side it is very drying.

Not sure I’ll be using it again because of the drying effect on my hair. No moisture left in my hair at all and even the conditioner didn’t help. Using this continuously will spoil anyones hair hence my reluctance to use it again.

My hair colour was very light blonde mixed with Grace. I wanted to make it slightly darker and the colour of 6. 03 light golden blonde looked as if it would be perfect. Mixed precisely as instructions and timed carefully.

Very shocked to find my hair come out very dark brown brown. No way could the colour be described as light golden brown, the final result was far darker even then that shown on the darkest picture on the box.

Extremely disappointed with this and I’m hoping it will fade out very quickly. Definitely won’t be buying this one again.

Tried this love this!!!! It leaves my hair super shines feeling super healthy. Also it gives my hair wonderful volume. I love how it smells as well. Only thing is it don’t stay in your hair for that long so if your one to wash your hair consistently then this isn’t for you but overall I love this.

Do I recommend yes I doooo!!!.

TranslateShow in original languageDeze 100 % natuurlijke haarkleuring is ontzettend fijn in gebruik. Voor mensen met een allergie of huidaandoening is dit de perfecte haarkleuring. Na talloze keren uitproberen van verschillende A-merken, die mij alleen maar zwerende vochtige blaasjes op mijn oren en idem dito rode, vreselijk jeukende hoofd uitslag opleverden, ben ik zeer blij met deze vondst.

Het enige wat mij dwars zit is dat het mild zwart is en niet dat echte pik zwarte resultaat. Je mag het tig vaak kleuren en heeft geen nadelige effecten op je hoofdhuid of haren. Als psoriasis patiënt ben ik zeer tevreden en is het gezien de hoeveelheid poeder redelijk voordelig.

Oh ja, nog een pré. niet op henna basis. De vorige haarkleuring was wel op deze basis gemaakt en ik had het niet door. Het resultaat daarvan is dat het ellenlang duurt voordat de rode gloed uit je haren verdwijnt.

Probeer het uit, 100% veilig!!! F. L. H. Heijmans.

TranslateShow in original languageIk heb het al 3 keer gebruikt. Mijn haar ziet er geweldig en zit vol met glans. Mijn haar is ook gezonder van. Het is echt een aanrader voor mensen die hun haren mooi en gezond wil behouden.

I had to leave a review as I’ve read a few that say this product doesn’t cover grays. It absolutely does. Mix the product and let sit for about 30 min or so before applying (I think the Ash Brown needs to be used quicker due to the fact that it contains indigo) Otherwise, you can let the product sit mixed longer.

Wear gloves, this stains like crazy. Apply to hair. It will be very messy but I’m ok with that since it works. Wrap head in plastic wrap or double layer of plastic bags to keep in heat. clip bags at forehead.

I let mine sit on hair for 3 hrs. It was very messy to rinse and took quite awhile to get all the grit out but it definitely covered my grays. I’m 48 and have about 20% gray hair. Lots at temple. This product worked and I’m so happy as I don’t have to use toxic chemicals or spend tons of money.

Super happy with results. I took before and after pics to confirm that it works but have since deleted the photos. Wish I had saved them to use in reviews.

I’ve been coloring my hair with henna powder for years. I used Colora Cream about 10 years ago and I liked it. Decided I was tired of the powder so I ordered four boxes of the brown Colora creme. I used 2 bottles and drenched my hair.

I covered my hair with plastic and I let the henna sit for a little over three hours. Nothing! No color, didn’t cover any grays. It’s as if I just used water in my hair. I can’t tell you how disappointed I am.

Waste of time and money. Just threw out the other 2 boxes.

Using Henna is not like using chemical hair dyes. Spend a couple minutes watching a YouTube video. I love Henna. I have scalp psoriasis, and I am vain. I cannot use chemical dyes so I turned to Henna and I would never turn back even if my scalp psoriasis disappeared tomorrow.

Can it be messy? Sure. Does it take a long time? Yes, so I buy shower caps with elastic from the dollar store, wrap a bandana around my head so that I can do other things for the 3 hours I leave it on.

Does it cover the grey? YES. Does it improve the texture of your hair? Yes. Could you theoretically eat the product and not die? Yes, also. You can literally use a bowl from your kitchen to mix this stuff up, and wash it out, and continue to use it in your kitchen.

I’ve been doing dyes for 25 years and never had a problem but now I ended up in the emergency room because my head and face swelled up and I still have eczema flare ups 6 days later. Topchic goldwell say on the internet that they don’t use allergenic products and they are safe but look at the package.

Resorcinol, phenylendamine, ammonia. I am sickened that this is legal to be sold. Also the white hair was not covered. Avoid if you don’t want to end up in the hospital and scratching for more than a week.

Formerly paid $$$$ at a fancy salon in Miami for color – did some research and realized I could use the same product at home. (And I’ve NEVER tried to color my hair before. I was nervous. ) This canister system is actually PERFECT for the DIY colorist.

Can dispensing system is super clean, keeps the color and activator (separate, of course) totally fresh between applications. I love this color, 10N, and have been playing around with others in the palate.

Regarding cost – I did the math and the cost per application (30 ml each color + activator for touchup/roots) came out to be approx. $2 – wow. Less than the inferior drugstore products. Yes, you do need to purchase the pump and cylinder system to dispense it from the canister, and activator bottle, but that’s maybe a 1-time cost of about $20 for your reusable materials.

So instead of paying $80 at the salon to get my roots done, I can do it myself for about $2. Now I color once a month instead of quarterly – SO much better! So go ahead and do your research and take the plunge.

There are a couple of excellent YouTube videos out there on using Goldwell specifically, and you can download the entire Goldwell colorist manual online in pdf format. Don’t be intimidated – this isn’t rocket science.

Good luck!!.

I purchase this product because my hair stylist uses it and I can touch up roots in-between appointments. The “NN” (neutral neutral) shade is very effective on white and grey hairs. Like my hairdresser, I’ll mix in a small portion of NG(neutral gold) to get natural looking highlights.

I have been doing this for years. The can of dye is used with a measuring cup which enables you to get the product out of the can. This is VERY efficient versus opening a bottle or tube because the remaining product does not disintegrate.

My hair is very healthy and grows quickly, which is both a sign of good health as well as a good product that doesn’t damage my scalp! So I often will mix a tiny amount just to cover my hairline which grows in white.

Having curly hair, other parts of my head can grow in longer without the white or grey showing as quickly.

I rotated the 5 MM shampoos for several weeks, plus did the Zen Detox prior to applying the two step grey hair henna process. I wanted to make sure my hair was healthier prior to applying the henna. Here are the steps I used: 1.

Hair had not been chemically treated for approximately 12 weeks. I have medium brown hair with grey coming in mainly on top of scalp and front hairline. 2. Washed hair the night prior to the morning of the red henna application.

2. Used alma powder (2. 5) with whole red henna package. Used distilled water for liquid. Mixed up at night and let sit covered for 12 hours 3. Applied and let sit on hair for 1. 5 hours. Note: The video on website says to leave red on for only 1 hour.

The instructions say 1-3 hours. Sprayed head with fine mist of distilled water to moisten before covering head in plastic wrap and a towel. I have shoulder length fine straighter hair. I did not need the whole package.

4. Rinsed off with not much trouble and my hair was red. The greys were well covered. I actually kind of liked the red color. It did get somewhat darker over the next 72 hours but it was still red. 5.

Mixed up 1/2 package of the light brown henna. Added 1 T of alma, a few drops of Euro oil, and almost 1 cup of warm distilled water. Covered and let sit overnight. 6. Next morning took 1/2 of indigo included in light brown henna package, mixed with distilled water to that yoghurt consistency and added to the light brown henna mixed that was mixed up the night before.

I have a kitchen scale that I used to precisely measure out the henna and indigo into half increments. 7. Applied to hair like I did the red three days earlier however left it on for 3 hours. After rinsing, my hair was now a medium brown with a deep auburn red undertone.

It actually looks great and all grey was covered. I am glad I followed the suggestion to go a shade lighter than what your hair color is. The light brown henna resulted in a darker brown than my original hair color.

Note that I did not wash after each henna application for at least 30 hours. I did apply some Euro oil very sparingly on the pieces of hair that had been previously chemically highlighted. I really like the results but have to admit that the process is a bit time consuming.

I definitely will continue using this method. It feels great to not be using such toxic chemicals on my hair.

I used the red henna as a first step for gray coverage. I used cooled black tea and two tablespoons apple cider vinegar to mix it up, and I let it sit covered in a bowl for 11. 5 hours overnight for dye release because it was a chilly night.

I had help to apply it, it took us about an hour to get it all applied. I used one whole package for my shoulder length hair and it was plenty, my helper glopped it on really thick. I covered it up in plastic and a towel and let it stay on for 5 hours, a little more than the instructions say because I wanted it to be dark.

On the first day it was a beautiful red, and my grays were a bright glowing red! 72 hours later it all darkened up and got more subtle. I like it a lot. Tomorrow I plan to apply light brown henna + amla as a 2nd step for gray coverage, so I’ll see how it goes, I’m guessing it’s not going to be very light though.

One note, the tiny bit of hair that peaked out of the plastic shower cap in front of my ears did not end up with as much color, and I think it is because it dried out since it was exposed and didn’t stay moist the whole time.

Next time I will cover those spots better with plastic wrap too.
