Expert Answer

Use a blue shampoo to keep your ash brown hair from turning brassy and warm. You can also use a colored conditioner once a week or once every other week. Just put it on at the beginning of your shower, let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse it out.

Be gentle with your hair by using products designed for color treated hair and staying away from harsh, heat-based styling products. You can also use a toner or purple shampoo to help your hair maintain its cool, ashy tone.

Ashy tones look best on people with cool undertones to their skin. Ash brown hair also looks great as a springtime color, since the silvery tones really come out in the sunlight.

Ash colors aren’t great for covering grey, since they’re usually fairly light. You may need to go with a slightly darker shade.

Question

How can I get dye off my face?

Community Answer

The best option I have found is to use a cotton ball and rubbing alcohol to wash it off. In the future, put petroleum jelly around the edges of your hair line and your ears to avoid the dye staining your skin.

Question

My friend's hair turned from blonde to a very deep brown. Is this an ash brown thing, or is it with every hair color?

Community Answer

People's natural hair color can darken over time. My sister was a honeysuckle blonde, and it slowly darkened so that she is now a brunette.
