Medium Brown Hair Color Pegs for Pinays

Editor’s tip: Prevent color fading when you wash your hair. Use TRESemmé Pro-Color Series Color Radiance Shampoo. It is equipped with anti-fade technology, which works by coating your hair with a waterproof film to seal in and lock the color, so you can enjoy your hair color for twice as long.
