Matte brown hair color to cancel red fade at 26do Hair, Daegu

I've been doing regular root touch-ups, and my hair had gotten patchy and messy-looking. Lately the fade has gotten worse too, turning really red, so I went in for an autumn tone-down color. It had been a while since I went dark, and it totally refreshed my mood — much calmer looking. Super satisfied with how it turned out.

I got a matte brown color from Director Taerim at 26do Hair Suseong Branch, located in Suseong, Daegu ♥

Hair fading red: which color did Director Taerim recommend?

At 26do Hair Suseong Branch, you first fill out a short consultation questionnaire before the service. I liked that there were plenty of questions, like what style you want. They checked everything carefully before starting. My concern was that no matter what color I dyed, it always ended up fading red. I'd done a tone-down before, and within a week it had faded right back to my original color ㅠ_ㅠ

Director Taerim listened to my concerns and recommended a color with less fading — we went with a khaki-toned shade that counters red and orange undertones! She said it's in the style of the matte brown that's trending right now. Rather than focusing on how pretty it looks right this moment, she explained it gets prettier as it fades over time — she really thought this through carefully and considered all of that when recommending it.

Hair condition before the matte brown color

Here's my original hair color. From repeated root touch-ups and coloring, the color was uneven and patchy, plus my whole head had a reddish tint that just looked messy and unpleasant ㅠ_ㅠ

The coloring process and the 'Quiet Time to Myself' booking

She applied the dye carefully from the start. Her hands were fast too, which I really appreciated. And 26do Hair Suseong Branch has this 'Quiet Time Alone' option you can select when booking — since I'm not really into unnecessary chatting during my hair appointments, this was great. Introverts who just want to relax and heal on their own, make sure to check this option when you book!!

They had tea and snacks ready while I waited, so I could relax comfortably.

After about 30 minutes of waiting, I got shampooed. The shampoo was really thorough, and they gave me a massage too — so refreshing and nice.

The result: matte brown tone-down color and cut

Here's how it looked right after the service! The color got so much calmer. Exactly the vibe I wanted — totally satisfied... ♥ My ends were also looking messy, so I got a cut too, and she finished it up really cleanly.

Here's how it looks under lighting. It went from messy and patchy to a clean, even, calm tone. She also gave me detailed aftercare tips, and mentioned that if you only do root touch-ups, the ends keep fading and end up uneven, so a full color is better.

And here's how it looks in natural light!

It has this subtle khaki undertone and the color turned out so pretty. Autumn tone-down: total success 🫶🏻🤍
