- If nature has endowed you with a dark hair color, then you can forget about painting in a plain chestnut. Coloring will not change the shade of the hair, but will give them an undesirable shine, which can be confused with bold. Better alternate dark curls with other lighter or brighter shades. They will highlight the hair, create the appearance of dyeing, and the color change will be successful!
- Warm tones of dark brown hair color are suitable for ladies “winter” and “summer”. But the remaining types are better to focus on lighter paint. Nevertheless, many stylists recommend trying the spring color scheme a dark chestnut color with golden locks.

After the process, after the time indicated on the packaging of the purchased paint, you must thoroughly rinse your head and dry your hair. Avoid direct sunlight and any chemical effects on the hair to avoid dryness and lightening of the roots.
