Anyone gone red?

So I’ve always wanted to try red/auburn hair but never had the guts..
Any suggestions for specific brands + shades would be appreciated :smiley:

Re: Anyone gone red?

I had a baaaaaaad experience going red. It was supposed to be reddish-brown, an attractive auburn shade, instead the salon did bright red highlights :no:

I couldn’t live with the colour and paid for a brown tinted rinse a week later to get rid of the red.

Re: Anyone gone red?

yeah...loads of chavs.

Re: Anyone gone red?

Chavs have auburn hair? I thought chav girls tended to be (yellow) blonde..

Re: Anyone gone red?

Yeah, this scares me a bit :frowning: Is it too hit and miss..

Re: Anyone gone red?

blondes have dyed their hair red.

Re: Anyone gone red?

so u want it all red or just highlights? I have got red highlights several times but seriously they don't stay for long. now i'm more into violets. i tried to die my whole head purple a few times but it doesn't get the desired shade coz they r dark black and i'm not ready to bleach. however they look pretty under sun. If u want bright colour bleach them first otherwise u'll just get a tint which will fade quickly.
u can try home colouring kits first. go to sally stores if u have any. their dyes are better than departmental store dyes.

Re: Anyone gone red?

I did a reddish color recently...with the more purple tones in it. I love it so much!

The ONLY issue I have with it is that it lasts for a very brief amount of time...then its all over. You have to keep toning it to maintain that color otherwise it fades into a brown.

I think in a few weeks I will probably go light brown because the red is gorgeous but washes out too quick.

Re: Anyone gone red?

^Ugh! My pillowcases all stained red from the colour dye in that first week, even after I washed my hair a few times.

Re: Anyone gone red?

I know...that happens at times.

But seriously I lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvve red!

Re: Anyone gone red?

i WISH i could pull of red or light brown…doesn’t suit me though…:teary1:

Re: Anyone gone red?

I wish I had the guts to dye my hair. I'm afraid I'll go bald if I do.
But I reaaaaalllyyyyyyy want to try a new color. Sigh. =(

Re: Anyone gone red?

it shouldn't happen if its permanent. when i dyed them purple with home dye my towels used to get colour every time i shampooed but it never happened once they were dry. however with salon dying it never happened wet or dry. So may be the departmental store dies are not that long lasting. but seriously i can't get over purple. i will never go back to any other colour now either black or purple. period. Many ppl recommended Schwarzkopf for fun colours over Lo'real.

Re: Anyone gone red?

You mean red like Rihanna-esque?

Personally, I have never dyed my hair, I prefer it dark brown/nearly black. >.<

Re: Anyone gone red?

Deeba… try non-perma hair dye. L’Oreal has these upto 28 wash ones in various colours.

I](http://www.loreal-paris.co.uk/hair-colour/all-over-color/casting-creme-gloss/565-berry-red.aspx) like their berry red on cheryl cole. I think for Asian skin tone Black Cherry would look good.
