Boring Hair Color

Quick Tip

Bringing Excitement to Boring Hair

My hair is dark brown and looks just plain boring! Any suggestions?

Your hair stylist can do lots to bring some excitement to your hair. She will start with one color and then add highlights that will give it a multi-toned look. It might be just what you are looking for!

*Note
I would be very careful about trying to do this yourself. I have heard too many horror stories about:
  • picking the wrong color or not enough colors
  • placing the highlights too close to each other
  • choosing highlights that are too thin or too wide
This is one area of hair coloring where you don't want to make a mistake.
