Naturally Reduce Red Brassiness in Dark Brunette Hair

How to Reduce Red Brassiness on Dark Brunette Hair Naturally

Red brassiness in dark brunette hair often appears as unwanted warm, reddish or orange tones that can dull your natural color and make it look uneven. This is commonly caused by chemical treatments like coloring or lightening, which can reveal these underlying warm hues. To restore a cool, balanced brunette shade naturally, targeted toning and supportive hair care are essential.

Understanding Red Brassiness and Green Toning

Red brassiness results from red and orange undertones that disrupt the desired cool brunette look. Green toning is a natural and effective way to counteract these warm tones because green pigments neutralize red on the color wheel. This process cools the hair color, restoring a more even and natural brunette appearance without harsh chemicals.
