Maria Nila describes it as a natural, subtle warm brown that adds depth and shine to medium to dark hair, and the word doing the work is subtle. This is for the brunette in week five or six after a colour service, when the colour has not failed but has quietly gone flat — the depth has washed out of the mid-lengths, the ends look thirsty, and the whole thing has lost its light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt runs on three cationic dyes: Basic Blue 99, Basic Red 76 and Basic Yellow 57. Cationic pigments are positively charged and bind to the more negatively charged surface of processed hair, which is why Maria Nila is clear that these masques perform best on previously coloured hair rather than virgin hair. The three-dye balance is what makes this shade beige rather than warm: the blue sits against the red and yellow and holds the result neutral, so you get depth back without pushing the hair copper. That is a genuinely different result from Caramel Brown, which is built on the same three dyes in a warmer ratio and lands with a deliberate copper glow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe carrier is a conditioning masque — argan oil, panthenol, sunflower seed oil, hydrolysed wheat protein — so it treats the hair while it deposits. Maria Nila rates it at four to ten washes, and on brown hair the fade is forgiving: because the deposit is close to the underlying base, it does not leave a visible line or a strange cast as it goes. It simply softens back to where you started.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Active Ingredient(s)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBasic Blue 99:\u003c\/strong\u003e The neutralising pigment in this shade. Blue sits opposite orange, so it counteracts the warmth that faded brown hair tends to expose, and it is the reason this shade reads beige rather than copper.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBasic Red 76 and Basic Yellow 57:\u003c\/strong\u003e The two warm pigments that supply the actual brown. Together they restore the tonal body that has washed out of the mid-lengths, while the blue holds them in check.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArgan Oil (Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil):\u003c\/strong\u003e Maria Nila includes it for moisture and frizz reduction. On brown hair specifically, the shine claim is largely a cuticle effect — dark hair shows surface roughness more obviously than blonde does, so smoothing the cuticle is what makes a brown look rich rather than dusty.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBehentrimonium Chloride and Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cationic conditioning agents. They carry a positive charge and deposit on the cuticle alongside the dye, reducing friction and helping the masque comb through evenly so the pigment lands uniformly rather than in streaks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eModa Pro Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSection the hair into four before you start rather than raking the masque through with your hands. Brown pigment is unforgiving about uneven application in a way blonde is not — a missed panel underneath shows up as a lighter, warmer stripe the moment you are in daylight, and because the deposit sits for four to ten washes you cannot simply rinse the mistake away. Four clean quadrants, comb each one through, and check the nape last. The nape is the section people consistently miss and the one most visible when the hair is up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNot the Right Fit If...\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot the right fit if you are trying to cover grey. Maria Nila is explicit that Colour Refresh does not cover grey, and a sheer beige deposit on unpigmented hair will look uneven and translucent rather than solid. It is also the wrong shade if your brown has gone flat and you actually want warmth back rather than neutrality — the blue in this formula will work against you. Caramel Brown is the shade for that, or Cacao if you want to go deeper rather than warmer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShampoo, then towel-dry until damp.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWearing gloves, section into four and comb the masque through each section from root to tip.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLeave for 3 to 10 minutes depending on how much depth you want back.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRinse thoroughly with water, then follow with conditioner.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Maria Nila","offers":[{"title":"100 ml","offer_id":49911830315236,"sku":"MN6724","price":28.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"300 ml","offer_id":49911830348004,"sku":"MN3724","price":45.6,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0513\/2831\/9677\/files\/IMGcr3724beigebrown300ml1200x1500.jpg?v=1789819570","url":"https:\/\/www.modasalon.ca\/products\/maria-nila-colour-refresh-beige-brown","provider":"Moda Salon","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
