Would this work (hair color question)

I gotta say…I use the box stuff…a medium golden brown Loreal. The new boxed dyes are not that “shoe polish” look. My hair comes out with nice highlights AND no grey. The shade I use is also a little lighter than my natural brown. The darker color was just too dark.</p>

<p>If you’re brave try whatever color you’d like to try. See how it works out. You may decide you love it, and you may want to try something different. My first hair color was too dark. The next one made my dark brown hair look reddish (I make a TERRIBLE redhead). The medium golden brown is perfect for me. YMMV.

<p>I am with thumper1 100%. Loreal Superior Preference in a box, hair dyed at home in less than an hour. You need to be brave and it might take a few tries to find the color that works for you; it is amazing how the same box of dye creates completely different colors on different people. I think the variation has as much to do with the coarseness of your hair than the initial color of your hair. Now that I have a color that I like, “7A” which makes my hair light/medium brown with a little bit of gold, I am quite happy. Without my Loreal, my hair would be an annoying mixture of flat mousy medium/dark brown with quite a bit of gray. With the Loreal, my hair has different shades of brown and gold and picks up light very nicely. Amazing.</p>
