Guide to Using Green Toning for Red Brassiness in Dark Hair
If you have dark brown hair and notice unwanted red or brassy tones, green toning treatments can help neutralize these hues and restore a natural, vibrant look. This guide explains how to use green toning products effectively and highlights the best options designed specifically for dark hair with red brassiness.
Why Use Green Toning for Dark Hair?
Red brassiness in dark hair can appear as warm, unwanted reddish or orange undertones that dull your natural or color-treated hair. Green toning products counteract these tones by depositing cool pigments that balance and neutralize the warmth, leaving hair looking richer and more polished.
