hair dye question.... ash brown

blueye

hi i dyed my hair ash brown (clariol) it had a violet base tone and has left my hair with red tones that dont suit my skin tone, does anyone know of any brands that do ash brown with green base tone pls

Interesting question, I didn't know you had different types of ash brown, how would you know before actually dying your hair? I use Nice & Easy light ash brown to play down the natural red tones in my mid brown hair and to cover grey, it seems to work on both counts but as it comes to the time to do it again I can see its slightly redder then I like , its not a problem but would be nice not to have that, sorry I cant help anymore, look forward to seeing any useful answers:)

When I used to dye my hair an ash colour I always used L'oreal Excellence because I have red tones in my hair which other makes always bring out regardless of what it says on the box.

I don't know how brown you are so here are some of the ash colours that are still in the Excellence range

This is L'oreal Recital Performance which might suit:

Clairol is rubbish on my hair btw: far, far too red.

You can tell hair dye was invented by a man. Why do women bother dying their hair when no one really gives a toss and most dont even notice.
More profits for the beauty industry I suppose and plenty of gullible females to sell to

Oh dear AB, you have a lot to learn. I dye my hair because it makes ME feel good, I dont really care if anyone does give a toss or doesnt notice.

Pretty soon, Im going to grow mine out just to see what amount of grey I have, just out of curiosity and to see if I feel good with it grey, if I dont, then I'll dye it again.
I havent seen my natural hair for years, so I think Im going to get a shock:eek:

Now deep down you know that its about image and you only feel good if you think you look good to others
