red hair question

I am considering...maybe...because my mum might kill me, but I'm thinking of putting a wee bit of red in my hair.
Not just a streak but not my whole head or anything. Maybe kind of like Leesha had a wee while ago.

I cant find any pictures of blonde and red together tho.
help?

also ideas of ways to have it would be cool...that would work with my hair, because some bits only look good on shorter hair me thinks.

I'll look through some 'buckets after I've eaten but I'm not coming up with much in the ones I've been through.

Also...will this mess up my whole bleaching thing? maybe i could call my hairdresser and ask her but i just wonder. Because obviously I've not long got all the black out and red might mess up my colour again? I dunno...heylp!

oyyy. so you want kind of a deep, coppery red like leesha's new colour? hm, it may suit you. try a layer underneath your hair in the back, like she did. :]

I'll try to find pics after me shower!

yeh its hers that made me go "ooh"
i dont want it too bleh...like...not insane pillarbox but not boring red

when i used to be a redhead and i did it myself, id use Schwartzkof...WHATEVER! XXL Live Colour which has this pic on the box:

but i wasnt bleaching then, just putting it over brown hair so it wasnt mucho bright...

whatever would look best with the blonde really! >.<

hmmmm. you may have to make your blonde a bit darker to rock that red under it...but it may be good!

yeh thats what i thought. my blonde isnt that light tho.

ill have a look at some dyes maybe and see.

Which of your pics shows your blonde colour the best? Cus from the one on your avatar it looks dark enough to rock a colour maybe slightly less bright than that one.

Oooh you know what just came to me? How a bout a sort of pinkish red, if you know what I mean? Wouldn't that go well with blonde? Or are you really set on getting something just red?

ill take a pic in the bathroom later maybe...

oh hang on...


that was in the sun last week.

and this was just normal light i think

zomg i got my initial rings >.<
and i have a smudge under my eye apparently

you may want to have a true, pink based red instead of a dark, burgundy red. it would be best!

Them rings are sick! I am so jealous! And I think get a red halo in your hair or have it underneath and then have slices in your hair and under your side fringe.

In my head you're colour would look sooo great with a slighty pinkish red. The red you posted wouldn't be ZOMGTHATSAWFUL either though so you could get away with that too if you want something more red.
As for how you could wear it, either streaks on the shorter layers of your hair or like Puffy said on the under layer would look good.

Edit: yay puffy agrees with the pink red!

do you have a pic of the type you mean...like a brand name colour. i dont really wanna use like MP or SFX or something...

Don't know off the top of me head but I'll Google cus I know I've seen it before.

Grr I have to go off to sew a button and loop to my new school blazer cus it doesn't have a zipper on ANY pocket. Obviously they want all our stuff to either fall out or get stolen.
All I found in the 2 minutes I looked was this:

But it's probably a lil too deep. You get the idea, though?
Sorta like cherry bomb by SFX..

There should be something similar in superdrug or boots or somewhere.

my mum's like yeh whatever it's your hair but she's concerned the red might fuck up my whole bleaching thing.

if i was gonna do my whole head, it'd be the colour of the girl with the yellow stripe ruth posted in the insp. topic. but idk if it'd work with the blonde.

meh.
