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 products can help neutralize these hues and restore a natural, vibrant look. This guide explains how to use green toning treatments effectively and highlights some of the best products 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 because green is opposite red on the color wheel, helping to neutralize and balance the color for a cooler, more polished finish.
