The best at home hair dyes for brunettes

Real talk: brunette has always been the superior hair colour.
In terms of healthy, glossy, shiny hair, and of course, grey coverage, the brown shade spectrum has always excelled. And when it comes to at-home hair colouring, it's arguably the easiest to pull off when compared to its blonde and red hair counterparts.
And despite the chocolate family being quite long-lasting, this self-isolation thing has been going on for long enough now that even brunettes may be in need of a refresh.
So if you're ready to slap on some spandex (gloves that is) and slather your hair in a fresh bout of brown hair dye, we've gone ahead and rounded up the best choices for your homegrown hair colour transformation...

Clairol Nice 'N Easy

Clairol Nice ‘N Easy in Natural Light Ash Brown
When picking your brunette box dye, be conscious of your colour's undertone. Are you a warm (honey-toned) brunette? Or cool (silvery) brunette? This is a great option for the latter, and despite being light, it will still cover greys.

Garnier Olia in 5.3 Golden Brown
The first of its kind, Olia provides a rich at home colour using nourishing oils, and no amonia. Shine is guaranteed no matter which shade you pick, but we especially love how this one gleams in the sun.

I was excited to be chosen to review these tablets and pleased that Natures Way provided enough for me to trial for a couple of months so I could truly ascertain if they were going to be beneficial
Glowy and beautiful!
A great and affordable sunscreen which has a glowy colour in it.
Such a beautiful foundation
This foundation is the best of the best. I dragged my feet in getting to try it because sometimes products aren't always as great as people rave that they are. This product genuinely is.
