Tips For Picking Your Rose Brown Hair Color And Coloring Your Hair

  1. Pick your shade of rose brown based on your skin tone. Rose brown is a versatile hair color and suits almost all skin tones, but the undertones play a key role here. Get a cool-toned shade if you have a cool undertone and a warm-toned hue if you have a warm undertone. You can go for any shade if you have a neutral undertone.
  1. Talk to your hairstylist. This is very important! Take time to discuss the exact color you want for your hair. When it comes to rose brown, stylists can mix a bunch of colors to give you the exact hair color mix you want. It’s best to carry a reference picture to show them exactly what you want. Also, be open to their suggestions as they’re professionals and know what colors will and will not look good on you.
  1. If you’re dyeing your own hair, take the needed precautions to keep your hair and skin safe. Wear old clothes that you don’t mind getting stained. To protect your skin, apply petroleum jelly all along your hairline and around your ears.
  1. If you have really dark hair, you might have to lighten it a bit. Make sure your hair is healthy before you bleach it.
  1. If you do bleach your hair, make sure to oil your hair regularly to restore its health. Even coloring your hair rose brown requires daily care. Oiling your hair regularly will nourish it and leave it lush and glossy.
  1. Coloring your hair rose brown isn’t as damaging as you think it is. Just condition your hair regularly to maintain its health.

Sarah, a content creator, describes her color experiment of turning to rose brown hair. She explains how she got the desired haircut for her curly textured hair, and she used a hair color remover on her ashy blonde color instead of bleach before going for the rose brown shade. She also advises doing a test curl before going for a whole color change. She added, “I was looking for something that was different from the hair colors that I have done previously, that wouldn’t really damage my hair, and I could do it on my own timeline (i).”
