5 Ways to Look Like a Natural Brunette

Don’t let blondes have all the fun. Look like you were born to be a brunette and get total grey coverage at the same time.

Ever wanted to become a brunette, try a shade of brown hair that’s lighter or darker than your own or disguise a few pesky grey hairs? Now it’s easier than ever to have radiant, nourished hair that looks natural at the same time with Garnier Nutrisse Cream—the best way to cover greys at home. But which shade is the right one for you? These five hues are each fabulous in their own way. Find the one that will make you shine.

Ash brown

Ash brown, whether light, medium or dark, is a brown shade with grey or “ashy” undertones that suits women with cool complexions—meaning they have pink or reddish undertones. It’s an under-the-radar choice, which allows makeup and accessories to pop. Stray only one or two shades from your root colour to achieve the most natural results.

Golden brown

Much warmer than ashy brown with hints of gold running throughout, golden brown is perfect for women who have peachy, golden or olive complexions. Expect it to bring out the colour of your eyes and enhance your warm skin.

Chestnut brown

With reddish undertones to suit a neutral porcelain or pink complexion, this rich shade will give you a taste of being a redhead without having to stray too far from a natural brown base. Choose it if you have a playful personality and enjoy a little drama.

Deepest brown

Complementary to almost any skin tone—but neutral and cool tones in particular—a deep brown adds an air of mystery to light and medium complexions and extra shine and depth to those with deeper complexions. It can suit most skin tones and is best paired with women who already have naturally light brown to black hair.

Milk chocolate

For the most classic of hair shades, a medium chocolate brown can’t be beat. Choose this colour if your skin is neutral or cool in tone and your natural hair lies somewhere between dark blonde and dark brown.

With Garnier Nutrisse Cream, you’ll have 100 percent grey coverage—even for your most stubborn greys—and rich, multi-tonal, healthy-looking brown hair over eight weeks. Natural ingredients such as grape-seed oil nourish hair during colouring, restoring it to a better condition that allows the colour to shine through as it does in its natural state. Use the nourishing triple oil conditioner, made with a blend of avocado, olive and shea oils to protect your hair against dryness until the next time you colour.
