Hi, I'm looking for a home hair dye for the hair colour of very dark brown that doesn't come out black. Can anyone recommend one they have used? I'm having trouble finding one...

I used to always use Nice N Easy but for the past few months have stuck with one from the Pound Shop. I don' recall that name ( and it's too cold to go upstairs to look) but it is in a red box. Works just as well as more expensive brands.

Ooo I'll be following this as its what I'm after !
When I was on about trying to colour my hair on another thread a few people recommended John fredia precision foam, not sure recolours though .

I'm currently using Nice and Easy - colour 4G (Natural dark golden brown?) Looks really natural and definitely brown, not black.

I've been using L'Oreal Excell 10 in chocolate brown - it gives a nice rich dark brown. I was quite impressed because after using it I went in for a cut and even the stylist complimented me on the colour which I think is a pretty good sign

Until recently I've always used schwartkopf pretty much, however I've found aldis range of dyes (my hair is very long so needed to economise buying 2 packs at a time) the are amazing and I'm pretty certain are off he schwartkopf production line. Two bottles for less than a fiver too

Thanks for all your replies

This is the colour I'm looking for.... a very dark brown that isn't a dull black. Is this the type of colour you all went for with your different brands? I have tried Garnier Nutrisse in the past and I like that it left my hair very shiny. I'm just worried to buy a dark brown colour that might turn out dull black!

I find you have to go for a shade below what than you think you want... Why?it seems to be how hair dyes work... and it's easier to dye over with the next shade darker if it is too light
My mum is a medium brunette, we use "dark blonde" from different ranges, currently an Avon one, nice and easy, superdrugs own always dark blonde we go for and find it perfect, the lightest brown is too dark... makes no sense!!

There seems to be a lot of people who go grey when they get to my age, i must be lucky although my brown hair has gone i've become Ash Blond.

When I was that dark I used to use this http://www.loreal-paris.co.uk/hair-colour/all-over-color/excellence/natural-darkest-brown.aspx

If it comes out too dark for you a quick wash with a mild shampoo should sort everything out
