Just try and use a color protecting shampoo/conditioner. And if you're going to be out in the sun a lot, wear a baseball hat or use a UV color protectant before and after you blowdry

has has a line especially for dark hair! I'll have to look next time I'm there. But if you can get a hold of ebay...look up hair color especially for dark hair. Also if that doesn't work you could always bleach it...just a little. THEN add the color you'd like. Any damage from the bleach would be helped by the color being deposted in the hair shaft.

Hope I helped some, luv AM

bleach isn't really needed to get a regular brown colour.
just get the loreal's feria hi-lift series:

here's a pic of me with brown hair (no bleach!), but roots grown in:

Brunette hair will usually go through the red stage when you're lightening. Even though you're not just 'bleaching' it... the developer that comes with a high-lift dye comes with a stronger peroxide than a normal dye... so you are bleaching it - just adding color in the same step.

When you add a red to a dark brunette, it will usually turn a dark mohagony or auburn... almost like a 'cherry cola' color... still dark - but you'll probably see the red tones in the sun

I tired the hi-lifts .... barely change the color of my hair .... do u suggest bleaching it ? ..... i'm on the fence about it .. .because i really want a new hair color .... even though i love black ..
.... my hair is also chemically straightened .. i also straighten it on a daily basis , blowdry , and really abuse my hair .... lol ..... so bleaching sounds really dangerous .... or should i just pay $60 and have it professional done ??

I just wanted to add I love Garnier Nutrisse too- I use it to color my hair all the time and I always get great results. It really does leave my hair shiny and soft!

I love the color, I was happy dying my hair with Koleston before, but then I found this Garnier caramel tone and Koleston didn't have it so I give it a try.
I think I like it!

Is Garnier a permanent hair color? Does the box say that it covers grey? I am always looking for hair color that has a good variety of brown or reds.
