ICYMI: Dip Dye Hair Is Staging a Comeback

Revlon Color Effects Platinum ($12)

Color theory 101 — you need to have as light a base as possible before reaching for your choice of color. If your hair is a darker brunette then this is especially important, since many dyes will end up looking ruddy on dark ends, or not show up at all. This lightening kit is ideal for bleaching your hair safely, with zero ammonia, and will allow your future color to look incredibly vibrant.
