Red

for YOUR information, i AM getting my hair dyed red or bergundy*however you spell it* just thought id like to let you know and give more feed onto this board! LOL!..*crawls away*...

Good for you, I'd die my hair red aswell... Except I'm too chicken and probably too lazy to keep up with it, and then it would grow out and you'd see the old color underneath, and it would be all unkept looking... Not that I'd really care, but it would begin to annoy me and I'd get fed up with it and probable say, "To hell with hair!!!" and get it all shaved off and get a wig of dread locks and move to Barbados and live as a Rasta Farian.

And then again... Maybe not.

morgan, after that description i'm beginning to regret ROFL but whatevers! its all good! i got my hair dark brownish red and then streaked it with bright red, kool neh? 🤢gt; welps if i knew you irl, id probably drag you to the salon and make you do krazy s**t to ur hair!!

yo, I can finally take part in the red thread!

Okay, so here's what I did (and since nobody checks this board it'll probably be eight years before anybody even reads this, but oh well!)...first I dyed my hair "honey brown" using the clairol "Beautiful" collection semi-permanent color. It was freakin' awesome, I liked it so much better than my usual blonde color. But then, because I'm an idiot, I got the urge to put some red in it. Originally I was just going to pull some streaks and do highlights with the red. But no. I have no concept of stopping while I'm ahead. So I covered my whole head in "light reddish brown" from the same collection, thinking, "the honey brown base will tone down the red and it'll end up being a light cinnamon color". Apparently I forgot that I am not miss cleo and cannot predict psychically what the end result is going to be. Well, this stuff is sitting on my hair, and I'm watching it process, and I'm thinking, "you know, this is getting really kinda red looking. Maybe I should stop and wash it out." But no. Do I stop? Nope, in fact I decide it would be better just to wait and see after I rinse it out and dry my hair. So I'm in the shower, and I'm starting to get a little nervous, because I look down and the water is RED. Blood-red. Scary red. "I just got my leg torn off by a shark" red. I frantically rinse. But I don't shampoo, because the directions merely tell you to RINSE, and "do not shampoo". I get out of the shower. I frantically towel-dry. I look at my hair in the mirror under a very bright light. I see that it looks as if I've had a head injury of some kind. I frantically blow-dry. At this point the color turns out to be a strange shade of maroon. A dark reddish brown. The streaks of natural blonde in my hair seem to have been happy to soak up as much red as possible. So I then have a mixture of strawberry blonde and dark reddish brown throughout my hair.

To be continued, I have to go for a few minutes......

Okay. So anyway, I hated the color(s) and decided I would pick up another bottle of the honey brown and overlay it, thus covering up the red. Which worked (pretty much), except that now my hair is a very dark warm brown color, a little darker than I wanted, but hey, it'll gradually fade with each shampoo.

The moral of this story is that red is a very difficult color to work with (it's also the hardest color to remove/cover up), so be careful! Always err on the side of caution with red. It looks great on women with naturally dark hair or dark skin, but I have naturally light brown/light blonde hair and blue eyes, and it looked silly on me. And this concludes today's lesson. 😛

I mixed B11W and B09W...click"http://www.thecreativestudio.com/dispensary/swatches/beautiful_swatches.html">HERE to see.

err....HERE!

I wanted to get my hair streaked red. My father thought I should get it striped horizontally. I think I'll just buy a wig.

phoenix..i share your pain dude, whenever i attempt to try and dye my hair this red-ish color it ALWAYS TURNS SOME STUPID ASS BRONZE COLOR -_-. But somehow i always lack the common sense that my hair is NEVER GOING TO PARTICIPATE WITH ME, call it false optimism but i guess i'll never learn.........................oh the sorrow..the pain, the agony 😕

Blood red or burgendy has been in for years here also the bare belly exposed navel look also tatoos on the ass are big all the birds have one and they like to show them off goes nice with the thongs.

I was thinking about getting a tatoo... That and adopting an eastern european accent, investing in short leather apparel, hight boots, and hair cropped short red and black striped...

I saw a woman in london she had half her head shaved and tatooed. There was hair on top of her head but the side was shaved and she had a tatoo. her hair was red bright red like red red.

run lola run.

burgendy has been big here for 5 years very dark almost a browm red colour

i like my black hair. and i dont bright green contacts.

i want*, where tHE treetrunk - ok anyway..

Yeah burgundy is big here too, which can actually be either an amazingly pretty color or a horribly ugly color, depending on the woman's coloring, etc. I hate it when a haircolor becomes trendy, and then every woman copies it, even if it isn't the right color for her. Here we've actually got a lot of brown going on. Oh and by the way I'm blonde again. lol, and very happy about it. It just seems to suit me the best. Brown is alright, but I get bored with it. When I went to California I felt like one of the masses with the blonde thing happening, because everyone is blonde there. But here, blonde is less common, so it stands out more.

You phoenix wouls stand out anyway.
