Red Hair

[GasolineRainbow]

okay, so i was blonde a couple of hours ago and i bough a hair dye that aid "bronze blonde" and the hairdresser dyed my hair, and i came out violet red. i'm have an important interview in a couple of days and i need to get out of this color. will anything work??? i am sooooo sad already

Oh dear. If it's very dark, there's not much you can do unfortunately. You can try washing it vigourously many times with anti-dandruff or clarifying shampoo. If you're patient, the color will fade to a softer shade in a couple of weeks, but I can understand if you're impatient. Can you go back to your hairdresser and ask them to "lift" your color?

If a hairdresser did it and screwed up, just tell her and get her to fix it. I'm pretty sure that is the policy of most salons.

 

[Deborah]

Yeah she should have fixed it when she saw it.

i love red hair, i was a brunette before and i always felt like somethings missing, didnt feel so comfortable with my hair so i went red on an impulse to do something different and loved it! too bad the color goes away so fast. I dont like to color my hair sooner than every month. Ive tried the pantene line for dyed hair but it leaves my hair all oily and not clean enough. After seeing some reviews ont he web i bought Hasks Stay Red Shampoo, it leaves my hair nice and soft but im not sure if it really is an improvement in color, anyone tried this before? I also bought John Frieda's Conditioner simply because it smells sooo good! but im not sure about color protection either.

My hair color is currently like this, i love the contrast of it with the blue headband

^ i really like the top part, more red rather than orange.

Red She Said

i didnt find it hard to go a deep brownish red. for a purer red, it might involve a hairdresser... back in the day i had light brown hair with a bit of subtle blonde highlights so i just dyed over it with L'Oreal Feria. with this color i just kind of lucked out it turned out how i wanted. these days i dont think i would bother with box color because i dont feel there is enough control over the outcome.

i was inspired by Lindsay Lohan in her music video "Over"

^ a bit of the blonde highlights showing thru

^ mmm, the lighting makes my hair look darker on the bottom.

red was fun but it is quite high maintenance because it fades super fast.

Gone from red red:

to ginger:

Love it! I'm not afraid of bright!!!

 

[daniellat]

i love it too! you look great!

 

[haute femme]

whoaa love that color! what a good shade Did you use box color or did you get it done professionally?

 

[Deborah]

Pro. I used to do it myself but to get all the red out it needed to be bleached and whatnot so I decided not to risk it myself.

Wonderfull colour kissablekae!

If fading is your worry, why not henna? 100% plant henna does not fade after it's initial oxidization and it's totally natural, chemical free.

Way hey! I am red again!

I desperately want to go red but I have a very pale pink toned complexion, and people are telling me only reddish brown will suit. The conventional wisdom seems to be that red hair will bring out the pink tones in my skin (heaven forbid?!). I don't see what's so terrible about pink tones in the first place, and I also fail to understand why orange based colours would make me look pink? I also want it to be a bold change, so I would be disapointed to have to stick with a subtle red-brown. I want the sort of red that could possibly be natural- so no weird plum tones. Has anyone successfully dyed their hair red with similar skin tone to me? Any pictures of shades you think might work? Most grateful for help.

 

[daniellat]

i have a yellow-ish undertone and it definitely brings the pink tones out. i used to look so washed out without make up when my hair was dark brown, and now i it seems i put on blush even though i dont have any. id say go with a professional so they can tell you which shade of red is better for you but id go and say a reddish brown may be whats best for you.

 

[Sylphide]

what kind of red do you have daniella?

 

[daniellat]

the name is red copper blonde from BES beauty & science and i believe the number is 7.6

All right... could I get some advice, please??

I do not have a regular hair stylist, and, being the penny-pincher I am, refuse to pay for a coloring at a stylist/salon.

So, I'm trying to figure out where to go from here. I am gravitating toward red, but I'm guessing it'd have to be either strawberry blonde (though I'd prefer not to go lighter) or a brownish-red.

Could I get some advice on drugstore brands/colors, or just overall advice, on what to do? I have dark blonde hair with a bit of red, green eyes, and MANY freckles. Here I am below, on the right - that photo is a fairly good representation of my real hair color.

Any help would be awesome.. thank you.

Erin I don't know of specific colors but I think Natural Instincts makes good and very natural looking red dyes.
Feria has lots of reds but they are very strange- nothing that would occur in nature.
If I were you I would go for a true auburn- I think it would look very nice on you.
I might be biased though b/c I am a natural redhead and I don't care for blondish red very much.
