Your personality makes you sparkle, but your brunette hair color adds class. Keep sandy brown hair fun and dark tresses mysterious with a shampoo and conditioner that bring out the best in your hair. Whether you're all-natural or a bottle brunette, special hair-washing products are the difference between worn-out brown and blazing brunette.
For Born Brunettes
If you were born a brunette, enrich your natural chocolate tones with a shampoo that makes your color stand out in the crowd. Marie Claire UK recommends Sebastian's Brunette Shampoo and Conditioner for girls who want tangle-free hair with a refreshing coconut scent. The best part? Its UV-light inhibitors give brunette tresses a super-fresh shine. To bring out all the highlights and lowlights in your hair, try John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Shampoo and Conditioner; its crushed pearls, sweet almond oil and cocoa bean extract enhance brown hues and boost the shine factor.
For Dyed Locks
Just because you color your hair doesn't mean everybody has to know. Bumble and Bumble has gentle shampoos that neutralize oxidation (you know, when the sun makes your hair brassy) and subtly enrich your brunette tones. Good Housekeeping also recommends Tresemme Color Thrive Brunette Shampoo and Conditioner for dyed brunettes who crave long-lasting color -- and it's budget-friendly to boot. For a natural color boost, try Matrix New Biolage Earth Tones Color Refreshing Conditioner, which contains shine-enhancing molecules and color pigments to refresh your hue.
Have Some Fun
Make your hair the life of the party with a totally funky shampoo. Complement your sweet-as-candy personality with BedHead Colour Goddess Shampoo and Conditioner for Racy Red Heads and Bodacious Brunettes, which rocks a delicious caramel scent.
Quench Your Thirst
To keep your color rich, your tresses need to stay hydrated. Moisture adds softness, reduces porousness (which can lead to more UV damage) and gives hair natural shine -- and that, in turn, helps color stay true. Pantene Pro-V Brunette Expressions Daily Color Enhancing Shampoo is a real thirst-quencher for dry-haired brunettes, as its fennel extract hydrates brittle strands. Marie Claire even names it a must-have for brunettes.
