My natural hair color is medium brown I think it is ashy. I want a predominately medium brown base color with some subtle highlights and lowlights for dimension. I am at such a loss seems most of the actresses with brown hair have a medium golden brown base with dark blonde highlights.

If you're looking for something OTC, try one of the Clairol Natural Insticts, Level 2 colors (lasts approx. 28 washes). http://clairol.com/brand/naturalinstincts/palette.jsp - http://clairol.com/brand/naturalinstincts/palette.jsp Contact Clairol and ask them which one of the browns has a gold or red base (vs blue or green) to counteract your ash. -------------

'Subtle' highlights or lowlights are very difficult to accomplish, even for professionals. Try looking at what I recommended above just to kick it up a notch first. -------------

| Thanks for the suggestion was looking at the Clairol site not sure if I should pick a light brown or medium brown? I have identified the ones with a red/gold base. Suggestions? |

Either or all that are a good representative of your hair color. -------------
