Two days ago I've dyed my dark brown hair red... I took a picture of Julianne Moore (in May 2008 issue of Vogue Paris, when I will understand how to post photos... I'll do it!) with me to the salon, but actually the result is a shade that is VERY similar to the Nicole Kidman's charachter in Moulin Rouge (yes, my avatar is a tribute! XD)... I'm sooo happy. I've always been fascinated by red hair, I'm so jealous of the lucky ones who are born with it. My eyes are deeply dark brown and my eybrows are pretty dark too, but my skin is extremely pale, with pink undertones. I will post a photo as soon as I can! I'm still not sure if it's better to dye my eyebrows too, I need opinions...

Well, my shade of red is exactly like this...

Ginger rules! As an aside, the best orange hair dye that i've found is napalm orange by special effects. It's american though, which is a total pain in the bum!

I like napalm orange. But I think I am going to g back to manic panic tiger lily.

I'm naturally strawberry blond, and have only colored my hair (temporary) once... today at the store I bought some red temporary hair color... we'll see how it turns out. It's nothing crazy... Fingers crossed, especially since my wedding is in 4 months (sometimes this temporary dyes end up not being so temporary)

I was wondering what shampoo and conditioner everyone used to keep their red hair nice and bright!

[Erin]

^ John Frieda has a line of hair care geared towards your particular color... maybe check out his products?

I use Bumble and Bumble Color Support for reds. I really like it!

Does anyone dye their hair red at home? If so, what brand of dye do you use?

[Komodia]

i dye my hair at home using henna. it rocks as it keeps my hair healthy and never dyes off. cons? it NEVER dyes off. if you don't like it you'll be stuck with it, so it's a great step to make.
pros: it also gives a new dimension to your hair, as it only gives you tone over your natural or dyed tone.. so if you have light brown under it, at the sun it'll look coopery and at night it might look light brown again, which makes it look more natural. you can also dye your hair under it, so if you wanna be a light redhead and your hair is brown, you can dye it and then henna it to get a natural colour, instead of mixing dyes and killing your hair.. henna kind of repairs the damage of dyes, and you will only need to dye ur roots.

I love Florence Welch's hair.

i recenty dyed my mouse brown hair orangey red. my inspiration was vlada in the f/w 09 season. its not an exact match, but its pretty close and i love it! i get alot of compliments, and it flatters my fair skin so much more then my natural brown did. to anyone who is considering it but is a bit scared...DO IT!! its so worth the small risk that it won't turn out or you won't like it.
