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 bet her FUPA's name is Shane, like the gunslinger/drifter of literature.--HappyTummy
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

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 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.
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.
The nerve!

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?

I hate love and marriage. I got married so I could destroy these things from the inside. - NoisyPenguin
It's a good thing my circle of trust is as giant as my vagina. That only leaves a couple people out. - Cali
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?

I'm not sure.
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 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:
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.

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.
