How To Never Be Brassy Again

For people who dye their hair blond, or even certain shades of brunette, brassy hues are like cockroaches after the apocalypse. They just keep on keepin' on, reappearing no matter how cool-toned your original shade was.

Ahead, the products you need to stay cool — in more ways than one.
