Talk me into or out of this hair color

Pros - I am bored and this is certainly a change

Cons - can't do this at home so expensive and time consuming to upkeep.

Re: Talk me into or out of this hair color

  • No can do. LOVE. LOVE LOVE.

    Wait, one con: that's Cherished's hair color.

  • I LOVE red hair, but it would definitely be some upkeep for you.  I personally think you look awesome as a dark brunette, especially with your pretty skin tone (of which I'm always jealousE)

    Maybe you could just have some reddish/auburn highlights to spice things up a bit, but not cause the high maintenance nightmare

  • I wouldn't. I don't think it would compliment your olive skin.  I think that color is for more fair skinned people.  More of an auburny red would be pretty.
  • I like the color a lot but I don't know if I see it on you.

  • Love it.

    I recently dyed my hair from blonde to red and I'm glad I did. I've been a redhead a few times before and said it was always a lot of upkeep, but I realize that I just feel more sexy with the red hair and it's worth it.

    I say go for it.

  • I love red hair, but I think that it would be more upkeep than you would like.  I would go for the highlights and then if you LOVE it dive right in. 
  • Maybe just do some darker brunette hair with auburn hints if you want to try the red. That way if it fades it's not too different from what your natural color might be.
  • I think a pretty red is really hard to achieve and then maintain so I would lean towards no.  But that's without knowing what you look like.  :-)

    And holy cow - get that girl in the pic 10 sandwiches stat.

  • Hmmm, I am not thinking it is the best choice for you.  I can't decide what sort of red would be best on you -- maybe a deeper more blue-red than an orange-red?  I cannot say for sure.

  • Unfortunately all I think of when I see that color is that super annoying chick on Big Brother.

    I'd do highlights or a different shade if you want something new. I feel you, brown hair is hard to spice up.

  • I would go with the darker side of the red spectrum - more of an auburn.  I think it would be more flattering on you, and probably easier to maintain.

  • Oh, good call Kristen.  I was about to go for a yay vote.  But seeing Rachel makes it a nay.  In just a few weeks in the Big Brother house, she has already had to re-dye it.  Her roots were visible really quickly, and it just wasn't pretty.

    This is why I don't dye my hair.  I am far too lazy to keep it up.

  • Why isn't anyone suggesting highlights?

    What a fantastic idea, Christin! Always the visionary. Mod, listen to Christin's brilliant suggestion.

  • I also think a darker red would be good with your skin tone.

    Apparently ombre hair is the new hotness.  I read about it on the internet so it must be true.  And it's easier to keep up because you don't have to worry about roots.

  • YOU do not like red on you.

  • The chick in the photo reminds me of Sydney from Melrose Place, and she was a nice kid from the midwest, and then she moved to LA and became a hooker, then got hooked on drugs, then got involved with a married man who dumped her for a nutbag or something, then she got involved in all kindsa trouble until she finally got her life straightened out and then on her wedding day she got hit by a car and died, only she wasn't really dead because many years later, she came back to the same apartment complex, but then she was tossed out a window and ended up face down in a pool, Sunset Boulevard style and it turned out she was killed by Pine Valley socialite, Erica Kane's son who was supposed to be an abortion, but a Duke from General Hospital took the embryo out of her, and instead of aborting it, implanted it in his wife, and raised him as his own son until he found out about it and then got all familyfied with Erica and her daughters, but not so much the lesbian, and then he died, and then went to Melrose Place and killed Sydney, which I probably already said already.

    If you dye your hair that color, this could happen to you.  Also, it would be a nightmare to maintain that color.  Maybe highlights?

  • dammit. I just lost my response. Anyway, Thank you all. I do believe you have talked me out of it.

    Fallin is right. I don't like red hair on me. I always want to like it though.

  • Not that red, Mod.  Maybe some auburn highlights or a red-brown hue.

    this made me realize that I want red hair. 

    I've been struggling lately because I really do HATE my natural dirty dishwater-looking color.  I look at pics of me all blonde and I'm like ooooh.  I look so young.  And vibrant.  And like I'm having fun.  And then I'm like, Honey.  You WERE young.  And vibrant.  And having fun.  Now I think I would look like one of those people trying desperately to hold on to their youth by hanging out at clubs, wearing miniskirts, and sporting platinum blonde hair although they are, in fact, approaching their mid-30s.

    sooooo.  maybe I'll go red.  :::waggles eyebrows:::  what do you guys think?

  • What kind of red are we talking here, Tastyburger? Do you mean strawberry blonde, or red red?

    Please excuse my wonderful pregnancy skin and professional cropping job:

  • I'm definately digging the do, but still undecided on color because of your light complexion. Could you do a non-permanent dye so that if you hated it, it would just wash out? And, as was said to Mod, the upkeep would be a PITA.

    It would be dramatic, for sure.

  • I actually don't think the upkeep would be bad for Tasty at all if she started out doing it at home. Her hair is light enough that she can dye it red in one step and then just deal with the roots every 4 - 6 weeks.

  • I am glad you decided no to the red.

    And tasty, you have to be very careful with red with your fair skin that you don't get it too brassy.

  • this is more the shade I'd be looking for, I think:

    image

    but I'm not doing anything until I have this baby and some falls out.  I have a fro.  A big, curly, wig-y looking fro of unmanageable horse hair. I don't think I've lost even one strand in a month.

    image
  • i still havent lost any
  • I think the second red would be a good red on you.

  • thanks Calie.  Let's see if I'm not too chickenshiit to do it.

    and Winged.  OMG.  I will take a razor to my hairs if it doesn't fall out after.  I have to wear a pony every day because of sheer volume.

  • i had my stylist thin it out and it still is thick. maybe because of nursing?
