Riawna Capri- a celebrity hairstylist and owner of Nine Zero salon in LA, nailed it when she predicted buttery rich colors will soon replace ashy hues. It is just the beginning of 2019 and we can already see buttery shades ruling the hearts of hair color enthusiasts. The cool shades can be seen everywhere and not only celebrities, like Anne Hathaway and Angelina Jolie, but also their fans have switched up from the conventional golden beach hues. People are not merely swinging on the brunette shades, according to Capri, there is a tendency toward neutral territory. Capri called this neutral shade dirt brunette.

 The most interesting thing about these shades is that they have a smoky vibe and are way more neutral than any super warm shade. In fact, many colorists consider dirty brunette a proprietary balance of both icy and warm shades.

 Plus, getting this right strike is a breeze. All you need to do is take Burke highlights with a mellow lifted toner on the strands ad keep them in the lightest shades of brown. The celebrities who experimented with this brunette shade opted for the darkest blondes.  

The results are not only different but gave a slight shift in the traditional color that does not only complement all skin tones, but also features a unique look. Whether you agree or not, the dirty brunette look has already taken over and is going to be the freshest hair color trend in 2019.

Difference between Blonde and Brunettes

 However, there are people who still confuse blonde and brunette shades. Both the shades are not only different, but also have the ability to change your personalities completely. Brunette is a shade between black and brown color while blonde is yellowish golden. The reason why people are often confused between the two shades is that they come from low to dark tones.

 As mentioned earlier, 2019 is going to be the brunette’s year. With a wide range of color shades,   brunette looks absolutely stunning, especially if you have a lighter skin tone. A number of celebrities have transformed their hair appearance just by switching to elegant dirty brunette.

How Celebrities Protect their Hair Color?

There is no denying that stepping out of a salon with your newly dyed hair gives you a great feeling.   Celebrities, on the other hand, keep on switching their hair colors, with stars, like Katy Perry, who often go from blonde to brunette. Whether you are a celebrity or a businesswoman, it is important to protect your hair color

Here we are sharing some important tips used by celebrities to protect their hair color.

Choose Quality Hair Products

If you want your hair color to look vibrant for a longer period of time, using high-end quality hair products is a key. Shampoos and conditioners specially designed by professionals can make a huge difference when it comes to protecting your hair color.

 Keratin hair products, in this regard, can be the perfect choice to protect hair color while keeping your hair smooth and shiny.  All the products include natural ingredients and are silicone free.

Use Toners

You will not find a celebrity who is able to maintain his/her hair color without using hair toners. Kerotin hair toners and masks are designed with a special formula that refreshes your locks every time you use them. 

These toners are great to prolong your hair color. Contrary to popular belief, masks and toners are not only for grey shades. They are equally good for brunette and redheads. Kerotin includes pigmented masks that help your hair stay healthy and glossy.  

Never Over-wash Colored Hues

This is one tip that almost all celebrities follow strictly to keep their dyed hair looking its best. Over-shampooing ruins your hair color as well as it strips the natural oils from your hair strands. It is best to wash your hair only twice a week if you really want to increase the life of your hair color.

Final Thoughts

All in all, brunette is one of the hair colors that have become a celebrity favorite in the past few years. 2019 is the year of dark, rich and unique brunette shades as many stars have already tried them. No matter what your natural hair color is, the transition to brunette suits everyone.
