Beauty Tips - Brunette Tresses

Dry Shampoo - 'Cedel Dry Shampoo for Dark Hair' is specially formulated to tone in with your locks.
Grey Coverage - Remember that as we age nature makes our hair lighter. When covering grey go for a lighter shade than you had in your youth, you don't want that gothic look as you age.  Use a shade that gives tone variation, not just blanket coverage so your root growth is not obvious and a lot softer.
Shine - Beautiful lustrous hair should not look brassy, so avoid red tones.  L'Oreal has a pink base in it new 'Sublime Mousse' which results in less brass.
