In the sunlight, my dark brown hair gets a blaring lipstick red tone when I use this dark chestnut brown dye. How can I avoid this red tone? Thank you

I purchase two colors , 5N light chestnut brown (very dark color) and 10N light dawn blonde hair color. I mix one once of the 10 N into my dark brown hair color and fortunately, the red has toned down .

Sort of? It's hard to give a definitive answer because it looks quite different on me than it did on Beyonce because my skin color is much lighter than hers. It's no deep red, if that's what you're looking for but it's definitely not as dulled of a red as the commercial would have you believe. It's a straight up primary red shade and it's very, very vibrant. If you're looking for a dark red color, I'd recommend NYX Round lipstick in Snow White, it's not as long wearing as this but it IS a deep rich red.

Yes - unless you're trying to go blonde, or bright red. Being allergic to permanent hair colors, the cellophanes give me the opportunity to mask the incoming gray in my deep chestnut-colored hair. However, as I also mix the Deep Brunette Cellophane (which, like my own color is almost black) with some of the Gold Red for highlights. First time I did this, I was just happy having more shine and not seeing any gray in my roots. However, in brighter lights (like sunshine) it REALLY looks spectacular - even my hairdresser wanted to know what I'd discovered! Hope this helps you.

I dyed my hair the day before to a dark brown shade as I had a really red color on my hair and it had grown out with gray roots so it was tacky. I left the Frost and Glow on 60 minutes and it's fine. I went and had my ends trimmed and the beautician actually complimented me on the job I did.

I can't help much - I mix it with a medium brown to make the mix more "ashy". I really doubt that it will do anything to lighten any color hair but that's just a guess. Sorry.

4M is a deep mahogany tone that has more of a purplish maroon cast to it - not pink. And, if it is too much for your taste or you want to darken it. but keep the auburn tones, add some medium or dark chestnut to it. You can design your own colors. I have often gotten many compliments by hair stylists over the years on my hair colors with this product.

I actually think it works better if you have darker skin. The brown powder is really pigmented. I can only use a little bit because it goes a long way for me. But then again, I have light skin. As for the rest of the colors I feel that the darker you are, the better they will look.

My husbands is dark brown no flaking or resadue. He also uses Petal Pusher Fancies wax remover and conditioner. Works great also and helps clean wax out so there is no build up.

It shouldn't hurt the brown tones, as it is only meant to remove coppery tones i.e. red and yellow, it didn't work for me at all but my hair was damaged already before i used it, personally the more expensive brands should work best

I have dark hair.. you just need to not over do it, and spray from a distance.

I used the light brown from the Henna Guys over my red henna hair and it turned out black. The colors are misrepresented. There is too much indigo powder in the browns and your hair will be black and there is no way to remove it. I tried Prell, Head and Shoulders shampoo, which are very harsh and usually strip color from hair. I applied 100% pure henna 3 days apart for 4 hours each time and finally noticed a tiny reddish tone. Customer service rep told me the colored packets like light brown and medium brown which I also ordered should never be used over henna hair and it was my mistake. They advised me to go to a salon or wait for it to grow out; hardly solutions to the problem. I used the light brown from the Henna Guys over my red henna hair and it turned out black.

There is a natural indigo dye you can use to make it darker. I found a lot of help on Youtube.

Yes, this product does remove the "dark brown" build-up. Do you use starch--or a sizing product? If so, I believe that is what it is. You may have to use the Rowenta product repeatedly, but it will be removed. And, to combat this issue, I spray on my starch first, let it set for a few seconds, they spray overtop with water---that keeps the "browning" down. Hope this helps!

I purchased the 1mm derma roller and used it once so far on my face. I was wondering if anyone had a problem with hyperpigmentation after rolling? I saw two spots on my nose the next day that werent there before. I didnt use sunscreen though! anyway, I really want to continue use but afraid to use it again due to this issue. could it be that I have light olive skin or because I didnt use suncreen?

My hair is somewhere between medium and dark brown and I got the R6. You're probably safer with ebony or midnight brown. If you google the bangs you can find some better pictures of the colors, that helped me a lot to pick the color for me.
