I've been wanting to try one.... I stopped actually dying my hair about six months ago, because I didn't really need to. I have dark brown, almost black hair with some reddish auburn undertones (which I hate). I have used Matrix SoColor Darkest Brown in the past, but since it's a permanent hair color I felt it was just too much on my hair. I'm trying to do as little as possible to it so that it can grow. I feel like dyes thicken and rough up my hair too much.

I think a color depositing shampoo may be a good alternative, does anyone have any suggestions for a brunette? I have heard good things about Artec brand. Also, I have been using Schwarzkopf Igora toning mousse just to slightly enhance the pigment and condition my hair, should I just stick with this?
