So I've been thinking about dying my hair this color:
To become a ginger?  Darkredybrownhaircolor

for a while, and just wanted some opinions. I also wanted to keep some of my blonde pieces; the bottom layer of my bangs, and maybe one or two other pieces. Do you ladies think this color would work on me, or do i need a different shade of red?

Here is a recent picture of my hair color/skin tone. sorry about the crazy pose. haha.

I think it would look cute! A deeper red would also look rad (if you don't want your brows tinted to match the hair colour)

I think most people can pull off that shade rather well, I say go for it!
Or even a less coppery, more red kind of red

I really like the 2nd and the last one. Do you think I could keep my eyebrows the same color? They really arent black, even though my pictures make them look that way. They're a darker brown, and actually kind of red because my pencil shade is Eggplant (which is surprisingly purple!)

Red hair is always tricky, so its good to go to a pro! Make sure you get shampoo & conditioner for colour treated hair. And a dry shampoo, so you won't have to wash as frequently!

My mum colors her hair about as often as i do, and she's a redhead, so the only shampoo we use is for color treated. haha. and omg i <3 dry shampoo. whoever invented that stuff is a genius.

love the first one!

looks like the kinda think you could get with a semi-permanent home dye or toner if you just wanted to try it out before going to the hairdressers. red doesn't last in your hair that well anyway so if you hated it you could probably strip it with washing up liquid pretty easily.

Oh no Sad

Red red or coppery red red? If you don't like it, the stylist should fix it free of charge, yeah?

these pictures do NOT do the color justice at all. it actually looks normal, where as in real life, parts of my hair are LEGITIMATELY PURPLE and others are still blonde. my stylist is gonna fix it for free next week when she is back from her cruise, thank god. i promise you, my hair is WAY more redred irl.
