Trying out hair colour for the first time? Pick from these gorgeous shades of brown

Should I or should I not? This is the one question that anyone who is getting their hair coloured for the first time always asks. While flaunting a salt and pepper hairstyle or just keeping it all grey is popular but many still yearn for a head full of hair that reflects a very luscious shade of brown. If you’re one of the lucky ones who has managed to retain the same hair volume from their college days then chances are that you would want to flaunt your hair with that lovely shine and colour. But understand­ably, there are questions in your head that you don’t know how to address. From wondering if it will look odd, how your friends will react or if you would be able to pull it off to having concerns such as hair or skin damage, colour choice and if the applicatio­n process will be messy, the doubts can be many. Well, there’s no reason to fret as Garnier Color Naturals’ diverse palette of browns ensures that there is a shade of brown for every head of hair in a nourishing no ammonia formula. But why choose the colour brown? Because most of us Indians’ natural shade of hair colour is brown and not true black, like most of us believe.

So your new hair colour will only invoke admiration instead of shock among friends and colleagues who see you every day. While colouring your hair may seem like a tough feat, it is not a laboratory experiment that you need to stress about. All you need is a pair of gloves, a mixing bowl (for the crème and the solution), wet wipes, a sturdy wide toothed comb, an applicatio­n brush and freshly shampooed hair. The trick to de-mystifying the exercise of colouring your hair at home is having the right tools and the right grip. The colouring starts with parting your hair layer by layer that then needs to be applied with the crème mix. Make sure that the room you are colouring your hair in is well lit so that any parts of your mane that are untouched with colour can be spotted easily. Ensure that the grey hair is adequately covered with the crème color.

But what if the colour touches your skin? Do not be afraid, the pair of wet wipes come in hand for this very reason. Rub the wipes gently across the affected portion. And last but not the least; spread the colour across strands with your hands so that every strand is covered. Now all you have to do is, sit tight for 30 minutes and wash away to discover the luscious brown in your hair.

Garnier Color Naturals offers a range of gorgeous customized shades keeping the Indian woman in mind: Darkest Brown, Brown, Light Brown and Caramel Brown. Here’s your go to guide on what shade to pick for your mane of hair if it is your first time.

If you were finding yourself on the fence with the decision to colour your hair, then this festive season may just be the right time to do away with your inhibition­s and open up to beautiful browns with Garnier Color Naturals.
