‘Cause brunettes deserve to have fun too!

If you have brown hair and always wanted to experiment with color but don’t want to go through the process of bleaching and damaging your hair all hope is not lost. Overtone and Hally are two brands that have got your back; because why should blondes have all the fun? 

Overtone

Overtone is a brand that focuses on color depositing hair conditioners/masks including shampoos, conditioners and masks 

They recently came out with a line specifically for brunettes. As a brunette myself I feel your struggle. I am growing my hair out and the last thing I want to do is risk damaging my hair leading to dead ends that will need to be cut. 

The line for brunettes contains red, purple, rose gold, orange, green, blue and pink 

They have both daily conditioners and deep conditioning masks. 

The very first time you color you should apply it to dry hair before getting in the shower and then rinse with only water!

Depending on your hair such as the color the intensity can vary. With Valentines day approaching I wanted to add something to my hair. I loved how my hair looked with Overtones’ pink and red in it.

It’s easy to maintain you wash as normal and can use either the daily or the deep conditioner. However, without maintaining the color will wash out easily within a few washes.

If you aren’t ready to make the jump to a color conditioner or are looking for a one time thing such as your school colors, a night out/party. depositing conditioner check out

Shade Shade Stix takes seconds to apply. The colors are very vibrant and come out at your next wash. Their shades include orange, purple, pink, blue and red.

You apply the color with a mascara like wand and use the attached comb to even it out. it looks beautiful and vibrant even for brunettes like myself.

So brunettes if you have ever wanted blue, pink or even green hair without the commitment here’s your chance to let loose and show blondes that they don’t have to have all the fun.
