There is a black dye like henna, go to www.hennaforhair.com, it will permanently dye your hair black, I forgot the name of it but you'll see it on that website and you can ask on that forum about it.
I don't think it ever comes out, though, so be sure you like it with a strand test. |

OK, well I guess I won't suggest Indigo then! 
Ummm....you could use a version of a filler on your hair, which would be running a level 3 or 4 dark brown hair colour through your damp hair without peroxide. OR, you could mix a dark brown permanent colour with 10 vol peroxide and run that through your hair (leave on for 40 mins). OR you could use a colour conditioner like Artec in Brunette (Cellophanes is good too) and apply it like a colour (leaving on your head for 40 mins to an hour with heat). All of these things would have to be re-done at some time though, since colour eventually fades!  ------------- Love clip-ins and tape! |

I just thought of something, I "think" you can achieve a brown color by mixing "indigo" dye (look at the www.hennaforhair.com forum) with cassia or something else, I can't remember. You can ask on that forum how to get a pretty brown color with plant dyes like indigo, cassia, or others.
Those color-depositing conditioners, or mousses, like Fakeizme said, may be the way to go, because believe it or not they can be kind of permanent. I put a red one in my hair, it was a Graham Webb red color-depositing conditioner, and it never washed out, ever! Maybe I left it in too long, like for hours, I don't remember. But maybe you just need to use one of those conditioners really often and it wouldn't be as much trouble as using a semi- hair color often. Also Artec, Goldwell, Alfaparf, Schwarzkopf make good ones, and Aveda and Matrix and maybe Bumble & Bumble. I just thought of something else, the brand "Rainbow Henna" has plant/herbal hair colors in different shades!!, no peroxide, but remember, that kind may be permanent forever, but I know they have different shades of brown, medium brown, light brown, dark brown, and I don't think it will have a reddish tone to it at all because they probably don't use henna in the brown colors, I believe you can get samples: and here is a link: http://www.rainbowresearch.com/html/henna.htm |
