Golden Light Brown
Cataanda James, a color expert and multicultural hair specialist, recommends trying golden brown and blonde tones. “Brunettes on the darker side of the spectrum [can achieve] beautiful shades of caramel and warm, golden light browns—without the damage.”
What is the healthiest hair color to use?
Our best overall pick is Biolage Haircolor, a henna dye that's free from harmful chemicals including ammonia and PPD. We also love Madison Reed Radiant Hair Color Kit, which is free of ammonia, parabens, resorcinol, PDD, phthalates, and gluten, plus the added benefit of being packed with hydrating ingredients.

Is leave-in conditioner good for color treated hair?
Leave-in Conditioner is Great for Colored Hair
Coloring your hair weakens every strand, making it more brittle, stiff, and dry. That's why leave-in conditioner is a must for colored hair. It contains a variety of ingredients that can repair the damage and add some much-needed hydration.
