    The hair colour hack that will get you through January….

    Published on 16 January 2017 - Last updated on 19 December 2025 by Beth Ryan

    If you’re holding out for that pay packet, but your hair colour isn’t playing ball, now could be the time to consider a dye job that really will go the distance. Mid-tones make light work of maintenance and laugh in the face of root regrowth. They also happen to be popping up on many of our current hair crushes – Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel and Chrissy Teigen have all recently swapped lighter, brighter hues for easier to maintain brondes, deep brunettes and mink browns.

    The benefits extend far further than giving you a colour with extra milage, you can add lustrous shine and boosted condition to your list of reasons to go middy. Don’t think of this as dulling things down, think of it as freshening things up…

    FAQs

    Why should you choose a mid-tone hair colour?

    A mid-tone hair colour is easier to maintain and helps reduce visible root regrowth. It gives your hair extra mileage between appointments, staying looking fresh for longer and simplifying upkeep. Celebrity trends also show mid-tones like bronde, deep brunette and mink brown are on style right now.

    How does colouring your hair with a mid-tone affect maintenance?

    Choosing a mid-tone means less time worrying about roots and regrowth. These shades require fewer touch-ups than lighter, brighter hues, making them ideal if you want a colour that lasts longer and lowers maintenance.

    What extra benefits do mid-tones bring to your hair?

    Mid-tone colours can add lustrous shine and improve your hair’s condition. In addition to being practical, opting for these shades leaves your hair looking glossy and feeling healthier overall.

    Are mid-tones a dull option for hair colour?

    Mid-tones are not dull, but actually refresh and modernise your look. Instead of making hair boring, they create an updated style with extra shine, as seen on many popular celebrities.
