Is red hair a bad colour to choose?

al

I was thinking of dying my hair red, but my friend say's that's how emo's have it :/
what do you think?

Answer
Red is a really fun color!
You just have to pick the right shade for your skin color. It is a high maintenance color though, it definitely fades the fastest (I've been every color and Red is the hardest to maintain). The good thing about that though is if you decide you don't like it, it'll be gone in a few weeks!
I was really lucky, I did it myself and followed ALL the directions and it came out well.
Red is not an 'emo' hair color, it's all about how you wear it. If you want to try it, do it! It's just hair! It grows back and if it's really bad, you can get it fixed.

Good luck!

Would I suit red hair?

Here's a picture of me.


I was wondering if I would suit red hair like the link below?
I'm going to buy extensions after I dye it but I'm not sure if I can pull this colour off!

Answer
Red hair can go beautifully with blue eyes and tanned skin! The key to hair color, like lip color, is finding a shade that suits your skin tone; not your eyes, or clothing, etc. It also depends on how light, or dark you'd like it, or with what undertones. You could choose copper, with orange undertones. Or copper with brown undertones! Just look. If you're unsatisfied with the first color choice, just wait at LEAST a month, and try for another shade! Red is very difficult to adjust to, and the color bleeds/fades very easily. So constant maintenance is a downfall, but if you really enjoy being a red-head, you'll find it worth it!

Shall I dye my hair red?

DizzyPeach

Okay, so my natural hair colour is a very very light brown, and some people call me blonde. I dyed it about 7 months ago a slightly red, a bit darker brown. Then about 3 months ago I dyed it fully black. Now, it's a dark brown, with red in the sunlight. But I bought a packet (or whatever it is) of red hair dye (REALLY red, kinda hooker red) and I was wondering weather I should use it. I'm VERY pale, I have blue/grey eyes, and my features are very bold. I would like to make more of an impact than just having 'brown' hair.
Thanks in advance >.<

Answer
Haha, "hooker red."

I don't think it would look bad. Red is a nice colour, even if it's the artificial type.

I reckon it would suit your eyes and your pale skin. I have pale skin and I dyed my hair 3 times like this lady, "Dayna Delux" that red and it looked fine. But I have dark eyes.

Make sure you strip the colour out of your hair first, otherwise it won't work properly, and it's good to choose red due to your natural hair colour but the maintenance is high when it comes to red hair, so good luck, :)

Should I color my hair red?

Q. I'm thinking about coloring my hair like a Haliey Williams cherry red because I want to color my hair a fun color, but I don't know if I should because I have soft black colored hair and I have an olive skin tone and I have freckles splashed across my nose but people can't really see them in the winter.
I have dark chocolate brown colored eyes.
I meant hayley Williams.

Answer
Red is a really hard color to pull off but if you really want to do it get it done professionally please. There are two types of red hot red(orange-red) and cool red(blue/purple red) and hot red looks like clown hair on people with olive skin tones. All of the colors Hayley has in her hair are hot red colors and would clash terribly with your skin tone, she has pink toned skin so it looks fine on her. Like I said red is a really hard color to get right, so please have a professional do it for you.

Also because you have black hair they'll have to lift quite a bit of color to get your hair close to what she has, they'll probably have to do it over a period of a few days, just keep that in mind. Walk into the salon you choose before you get it done with a picture of Hayley how you like is as ask what the actual colorist thinks would be do able for your hair, the prices, time it would take, how much maintenance and up keep it will take, etc.

Hope this helps.

What hair colour is the easiest to maintain?

red hair color maintenance image

Tanya

Im really bored with my hair and I'm thinking of dying it. Right now it's like a light brown colour (think paper bags). I have a colour in mind, but I first wanted to know what colour is the easiest to maintain? Or the lowest maintenance? I'm pretty lazy when it comes to my hair and would prefer to not have to touch it up all the time.

Answer
The lowest maintenence for light brown hair would be to opt for some golden or blond highlights versus single process color, it would give your hair a boost but you wouldn't have to upkeep roots. Usually highlights only need retouching every few months, and are easily grown out if you tire of them.
The next best thing would be a semipermanent all over color close to your own-I'd suggest a dark golden blonde or caramel color. It washes out gradually so you wouldn't have to maintain the roots, and if you did have roots there would not be a lot of contrast.
red hair is the hardest to maintain. And, any color that contrasts a lot with your natural shade will require regular maintenence, if its permanent.
ETA: I disagree about the black hair. While the dye may not fade as much as red or gold tones, it will be a stark contrast from your light hair so you would have to do your roots every 4-6 weeks or look like a skunk, until it grew out.

Trying to surprise my boyfriend with some changes. I have light brown hair; what color should I change to?

countrywom

We have hit the "seven year itch" stage where he is bored with everything. He is talking about moving away, other women, etc.. I know we need more than hair color, but I want to show him something different, just to see if it helps. Should I color, or just highlight? Never had a need to color my hair until now. HELP!

Answer
What color you dye your hair will depend on your coloring; as well as your hair natural color. Experts recommend going no more than 2 shades lighter, or darker, than your natural hair color. Lucky you! Your hair color is in the middle of the spectrum, so you could go either lighter, up to a medium blonde, or darker, down to a dark brown.

Your coloring refers to the underlying tones in your skin. Often we hear about warm and cool colors, usually with regard to choosing clothes, makeup, or hair color. There are many ways to figure out whether you are a "cool" or a "warm":

- Do you look better in clothes that are "cool" (blue, green, or purple) or ones that are "warm" (orange, red, yellow)?

- When you look at the veins in your skin (for example, on the underside of your forearm), do they have more of a blue tinge to them ("cool" coloring), or are they more of a green tinge ("warm" coloring)?

- Do you look better in silver jewelry ("cool") or gold ("warm")?

Usually someone is either one of the other, but if you're a mix of the two (I have cool skin and eyes, but lots of "warm" reddish undertones in my natural hair color), or if you're not sure, go with a neutral shade. They look good on everyone!

Once you've figured out whether you're a "cool", or a "warm", or decide to go with a neutral shade, here's some more information about how to pick a shade:

If you have fair skin and blue, green or gray eyes: consider choosing shades with cool or neutral tones. Cooler shades will help protect against brassiness. These shades may have the word "ash" in the name.

If you have golden, olive or dark skin and dark eyes: consider choosing shades with warm or neutral tones. Warm hair color shades also are great if you want to brighten hair that has a tendency to look mousy. Look for shade names with "warm," "golden," or "copper" in them.

If you're unsure, go neutral. Look for shade names with "neutral" or "natural" in them.

As well, take into consideration your personality and your budget when you choose a color. If you have more money, or want to do something drastically different, that's going to require more frequent appointments and a higher level of upkeep. Are you working with a lower budget (as many of us are these days), or a natural beauty, low maintenance kind of person? Consider going with something that requires less visits to the beauty shop or costs less. Sometimes what we think of as a small change actually makes a big difference!

Another bit of advice, and it's from someone who's been there - if you can, skip the boxed buy-it-at-the-drugstore hair color and go to a professional, especially if you haven't had much experience with it. Some of the worst hair "disasters" I've had have been with the buy-it-at-the-drugstore stuff (it's also the most damaging to your hair, I don't care what the boxes say, or how that after-color conditioner makes your hair feel!), even when following the above advice, and the instructions, to the letter. Also, from what I've heard from the professionals, it is best to either get your coloring supplies from a beauty supply place, or to see someone who is licensed. Yelp.com is a great place to find a colorist!

Remember that to keep your color pretty and fresh looking, special care will be needed. Use the right hair care for your new shade, and keep your hair out of the sun as much as possible! It will fade your color and then it will look washed out.

I wish you the best of luck with your hair! Hope it turns out great.
