Parrothead Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I didn't mean for it to be this red though. My hair, of course. I went from very blond to a noticeable red. I was trying for a strawberry blond. I think I picked up the wrong box. The good news is that it is close to natural again. I used to be able to say I'm an Irish red-head with the temper to match. :lol: I guess I can again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beansprouts Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Depending on which brand you used, that dramatic RED may fade in a few days leaving you with a more natural color. Pictures? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fsunolefan Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I'm jealous. I've been trying to go from naturally medium blond to red for years. My hair just won't seem to hold the color for more than a week. Even when I get it done at the salon. It always goes back to its natural color except for a slight orange hue in certain light. Oh well, enjoy the fun of a new hair color. It's always fun to have a change from the ordinary. I usually use it as an excuse to pick up a new outfit :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remudamom Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I went from brunette to wild orange once. (Sister was experimenting). We do need pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beansprouts Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 You have inspired me, Chucki. The summer sun bleaches my ash brown hair to a medium blonde. It is lovely while it lasts, but in the fall, when my hair starts to grow out it looks like a bad dye job. So I need to dye it to restore my natural color. I have decided today is the day :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laylamcb Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Woohoo! Ain't nuthin' bettah than RED, sister!! Love it. Enjoy it. Get a free ride on losing your temper. It's all good! Yes, pix are in order. :lurk5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom to Aly Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Still waiting for pix! And it should fade pretty quickly--shampoo an extra time or two in the shower--I have a friend who had a bad dye job once and her hairdresser said that actually helps.

A few years ago I was trying to just -- well I don't know what I was trying to do. But my dark brown hair has a bit of a red cast to it anyway, so I was looking for kind of a dark auburn -- and ended up with purple! It was a very pretty shade of purple -- for a twenty year old! The upside was it was really only obvious in the sun -- and it was a temporary color. So I just had to stay inside for about two months. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolly Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I'll try to stay on your good side. I know too much about that Irish red-headed temper! (sis and brother both qualify!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTMCassandra Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 What's even more funny is that your desired color is my despised color of record. ; ) My hair used to be brighter red when I was younger, and thankfully it's not so wild now, but it's this indiscriminate reddish/light brown color that's hard to categorize. I. Hate. It. But it's also very thin and fine (and getting thinner all the time), so I have never colored it for fear it would be too damaged. I guess I'll wait until I need a wig before I change my color (don't laugh--my grandmother's hair got so thin she had to wear one, and I think I'm on the same path). And this is the color you're trying for? "Inconceivable!" (quote from Princess Bride, there) But I hope yours fades into the color you want! And without the thin/fine part!

Kris Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 That - or shampoo every hour :lol: Yup, that too. Between the damage from the hair color and all the shampooing, I also lost about eight inches of hair -- it was just dead. :lol: Well, I did it too. I don't think I have ever been this much of a brunette before... I think I like it... If you "think" you like it, it's probably fabulous! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
