What a great product. But I do suggest going lighter than they recommend on the package. I have dark brown hair and pale skin. In the winter my hair gets a grayish, dull cast and I like to "warm" it up a bit -- I use the Sedona Sunset, which is recommended for light brown to dark blonde hair. They say it will not lighten hair, but it actually does (at least for me)...With the lighter color I get warm coppery highlights, not the more burgundy colored highlights that I got when I used the reddish tints in the darker colors the package recommended. Also -- skip the "ash" colors and always go for the warmer colors (this is a tip from my hairdresser, and so far it has proven true).
