im afraid that my hair won't turn out that color. i dont want to bleach my hair. so should i buy a darker or lighter red color for my hair? or should i buy that exact color?

Answer
I also have naturally brown hair and now my hair is coloured bright red. I would go for a bit brighter than you want, so you can compensate for the darkness of your natural hair. When your hair fully absorbs the red after a few times colouring it, it won't fade and be brown-ish, it'll be more red. Then you can maybe use a darker red because the underlying colour will be red, not brown :)

hair color!?

wheres a good website to get hair colors off? im going to my hairdresser and i need a pic to show her and no one in magazines have it..its like a burgundy red
thanks for your help =]

Answer
Google red hair, then click on "images" and Im sure if you sift through there you will easily find it. Or if you can think of a celeb with that hair color you can do the same thing with their name too.
Here are some colors:

What is the likelyness of my child having red hair ?

red hair color images image

JenJenxx

My dad and sister have red hair, but me and my brothers all have brown hair. I look nothing like my dad and take after my mum [hair colour and I look the spitting image].
My partner also has brown hair, however his sister has strawberry blonde hair, and his grandad has red hair.
What would be the chances of our child being born with red hair, we both have brown so would it still carry through ?

Answer
Red hair is a recessive inheritance pattern. What that means is that to have red hair a person must have two copies of the red hair gene (lets call it r), if they have only one copy, their hair won't be red because the second gene will be dominant over the single red one. So if r = red hair you have to have rr to actually have red hair, if you have rx (x being anything else) then you carry a gene for red hair that can be passed on to your children but don't actually have it yourself. So considering that both of your families do have redheads there is a chance that both you and your partner have one r gene each. If you have a child then IF both of you have that r gene there is a 25% chance of your child having red hair, remember that is if you both have that one copy of the r gene, which you really can't figure out from sight alone.

Overall I would say it is a small chance, but it impossible to pinpoint an exact percentage! Besides red hair isn't a bad thing!

Would I dye my hair brown first and then put a red over it? Or would I just use a dark red dye? I know it wont take as well in the ends as it will in the roots due to over processing, but I'm going to gopher it anyways! Any tips are much appreciated. Thank you.

Answer
First of all, thats not dark red. thats red. Considering your hair is the color in the first picture, if you put the color on top of your hair you'll get that color and you are right, the color will fade from the ends cause its damaged.

You might wanna use a semi-permanent. I definitely recommend adore's wild cherry. it can be found in any beauty supply store and its super cheap. Your hair will fade regardless so get use to that

Also, the girl in the picture, i believe went from black to red hair because not all of her hair is red but if you want that red, just put a semi-permanent on top.

EDIT: i just realize you wanna do it with developer. Dont do that, you are definitely not going to get a red. Get a semi-permanent, most people use manic panic but honestly i hate that brand. fades after two days! Get adore, they say its for African hair but it works for me and i dont have afro hair.

What hair color would look best with light brown eyes and light skin tone?

Lily Ayala

I want a hair color that will help my eyes stand out and to make my skintone look great. I also want to try something new. Any ideas?

Answer
If red looks good on you/you have a lot of red/gold clothing,

If you have golden, olive or dark skin and brown or dark eyes (most Latinas, Asians and African Americans fall into this category). if you tan easily and the veins in their inner wrists are green.

then try dark brown/red hair...

If blue looks good on you/you have a lot of blue in your closet
if you have fair skin and blue or green eyes, you burn before you tan and the veins in your wrists run blue

then try a light carmelly brown hair color.

If you have the cash, get it done professionally.

If not, look for these words on the hair color box...

If you look good in red: look for words such as "warm" stay away from "ash". go for a deep chocolate, rich golden brown, auburn, warm gold, red highlights, and golden blonde shades

If you look best in blues: avoid colors such as gold, auburn or copper and seek out "cool" or "ash"
