What looks and effects can you create with Dark Brown?

Dark Brown is a rich, natural shade that works across a wide range of applications. Use it to darken greying or lighter hair temporarily, to touch up a beard, or to match a synthetic wig to your own brows and natural hair colour.

For theatre and film, it's equally useful for reversing age effects, giving a character a consistent dark hair colour, or touching up strands that read too light or too grey under stage lighting.

When do you choose Dark Brown over another shade?

Dark Brown sits in the middle of the Ben Nye Hair Color range - warmer than Taupe, cooler than Auburn. It blends well with neighbouring shades and is strong enough to fully cover grey or blond hair. It's also the most requested shade for beard touch-ups.

Choose Dark Brown when you want to temporarily darken or rejuvenate someone's hair without reaching for a wig. It's versatile enough for full coverage and subtle enough for blending highlights.

How to use it

Apply to dry, styled hair. Use a mascara brush for individual strands, brows or a beard. For larger areas, pour a small amount into a dish and work with a brush or flat paintbrush. A toothbrush gives a stippled, textured effect - useful for natural-looking highlights. Build the colour in thin layers, letting each one dry before adding more.

Pro tip: Cover costumes and clothing before you start. If your subject has fine or porous hair, do a test strand first - pigment can cling longer than expected on lighter hair types.

Removing

The colour washes out with warm water and shampoo. A second wash may be needed for fine or porous hair. Not suitable for chemically treated hair, and not intended for use on skin.

What can you use it for?

• Temporarily colouring full hair for theatre or film
• Touching up or evening out beards and eyebrows
• Temporarily darkening or de-ageing greying hair
• Darkening specific strands or highlights for a character look
• Matching a wig to natural hair or brows
• Optically filling in thin or sparse areas
