My natural hair color on the left. Hair color I have always wanted but have been too scared to attempt because I’m afraid it will end up looking bad on the right.
Brunette hair already has red natural highlights (most of the time, unless it’s very dark brunette), so you could try a semipermanent, slightly auburn shade of dye as a way to test out the color without much commitment. My naturally mousy, light brunette hair always picks up those more reddish, auburn tones when I dye it with permanent dye, but it doesn’t do it as much with semipermanent dye. Those permanent dye red tones can turn brassy easily though, so be careful with permanent dye.
