Whether your hair is brown naturally or as a result of colouring, you need to look after it in order to achieve a radiant colour. To make sure the products you use are able to work their magic, choose them carefully. Here are some pointers for luscious brown locks.
 
Your brown hair can lose its vitality whether it’s natural or not. “This is caused by pollution and your hair’s general condition. It is completely normal for your hair to start looking dull after a certain time. To correct this issue, use products designed for your hair type and your shade of brown.”
 
Coloured hair loses its radiance more quickly than natural hair. “This is the same for any colour. Luckily, there are products you can use to restore your coloured brown hair’s radiance and shine. The Color Therapy routine, offered at the salon, is perfect for this as your hairdresser adds pigments to the product to adapt it to your shade of brown.”
 
People with naturally brown hair can choose to have treatments done at the salon or do it themselves at home. “In the salon, gloss is the ideal solution. This is a tone-on-tone colour that adds a gorgeous shine and gradually and subtly washes out. At home you can use the at-home Color Therapy routine. The molecules in each of these products helps the colour last longer. To make sure they’re suitable for all shades of brown, these products do not contain pigments.”
 
Our tip: brown hair needs to be constantly hydrated for a flawless shine. Hydrating shampoos and serums are often very effective. Alternate these with products designed for coloured hair.
