#1: Ash Brunette with Dark Roots
Creating the perfect ash tone on dark hair can be tricky due to the unsolicited appearance of orange and red tones.

This color could also complement your skin tone without appearing excessively blue or green.

Expert hairdresser Alon Shalom from California shares his rules when getting the color. “Try not to lift the hair too many levels because it brings a lot of red pigment,” he says.
Using stylist-recommended products will help you keep your hair healthy and not overprocessed. Alon advises getting a silver shampoo for once-a-week washes to avoid brassiness. His top brands include Olaplex, L’Oreal, and TG.
Donning this shade needs effort, but you’ll find that it’s worth it. “Make sure you can afford the maintenance. When the roots come out, you must do a root touchup and add some highlights and toner,” Alon tells us as his top tip.
