"Expensive Brunette" Is The New Blonde

Let's be real: highlights are like that fun friend who always makes you stay out late and spend too much cash. (They're costly and exhaust your hair.) Thankfully, "expensive brunette"--a ludicrous name, for sure--is the latest shade du jour, according to stylists. WTF is that? In essence, a warm, rich brown with depth and dimension. A gloss or glaze will heighten the tone of your hair too. Think chocolate, chestnut or root beer. The bottom line: brunette is much easier to maintain and healthier than chasing blonde.
