Will brown hair work for you? This hair color is best on someone with a darker or olive complexion. "If you're too pale, a darker brunette will wash you out and look unnatural," says Cunningham. "If you have shorter hair, a monochromatic brunette looks best; with longer hair, I suggest a rich brunette base with subtle highlights running throughout."

How to get the best brown hair:
This is probably the easiest color to do from a box, says John, but "it can be messy and stain though, so be careful. Use a rich warm color that has translucency" to assure that it won't look too flat. Try something like Clairol Natural Instincts Rich Color Cr�me in Caramel Creme, $8.99. If you don't trust a box (or yourself), go to a salon with photos of what you want -- otherwise if you wanted warm you might end up with ashy. "The best brunette color is really based on your skin tone and what color formula you and your colorist decide on," says Cunningham.
