Whether you're stuck in the house or just unable to fit a trip to the salon into your upcoming schedule, consider erring on the conservative side when choosing a shade. "To avoid going too dark, pick a shade that matches your natural tone," Schaudt said. "Going too dark can be difficult to fix, while too light reveals unwanted warmth." If you aren't feeling too experimental but want to add a bit of oomph back into your hair try a shade mask.
