You want deep, warm, buttery gold tones that are still bright.
And apply a semi-permanent color gloss to help match and blend color into your ends.
Espresso Brown
Wanting to go dark but can’t commit to jet black strands?
TryGleestar Naya Rivera’s shade, which has a subtle coffee-colored twist.
Try a box kit like L’Oreal Healthy Look Creme Gloss in Darkest Brown/Espresso, $9.
Hint: Don’t specifically ask for a frost unless you plan on channeling the ’90s.
High-Shine/Soft Highlights
For a romantic twist on dark hair, try Ciara’s face-framing highlights.
Bold Blonde
Hayden Panettiere rocks this so-blonde-it’s-almost-platinum shade, and we love her for it.
But don’t DIY: Go to a salon with a picture of the shade you want.
Your colorist can help you pick the hue that’ll complement your skintone.
Ask for some honey-blonde lowlights so you won’t risk Barbie-like strands.
Hints of Gold
For a subtle change, try a hazelnut brown ‘do with hints of gold.
Have some golden-toned highlights blended in, lightening up toward the ends.
Then, play up your look with a braided updo like Amber Heard.
