Ash brown hair is one of the most popular choices amongst brunettes – whether it be a solid color or one of the popular highlighting techniques like ombre or balayage. Darker and cooler colors are great at reflecting light, hence the silky and shiny texture of ash brown hair. With various options currently trending on Instagram, ash brown hair color is one of the major hair trends of 2022.

How to Tone Hair Ash Brown

It’s well known that cool ashy tones are those easily fading – often, brassy undertones kick in just a few weeks after your salon appointment. However, there are some easy, quick, and affordable ways to keep your ash brown hair fresh and glossy on a day-to-day basis.

First, try getting one of semi-permanent direct dyes in ashy brown shade – it is a gentle, ammonia-free product, specifically designed for home use. Unlike regular box colors, it will neither damage your hair nor make your stylist frown. Talking about professional hairstylists, they might be the best source of information when it comes to maintaining ash blonde and ash brown tone; also, many salon product ranges are particularly designed for upkeeping cool-toned brown hair. Another option is swapping professional products for more friendly-priced high street alternatives. Even if you struggle to find products designed particularly for ash brown hair, a silver shampoo, mask, or conditioner will do the job.
