Answer 1

Hair color and styles are not something you should ever get over the internet.

Discuss it with your hairstylist, you see things like your face shape, skin color, head shape, hair texture all play into what will look best on you.

I suggest looking through magazines and show her/him ideas of what you’re thinking. From your pictures and ideas your stylist should be able to recommend something that you may like. If they don’t LOOK FOR ANOTHER STYLIST.

As a hairstylist I am saying do not ever be afraid of switch stylists, loyalty is way overrated if you are not getting what you want.

Answer 2

From What You Describe, Red Would Be A Good Choice, Try L'Oreal Preference Lés Rouges Or Feria Power Reds. Clairol Herbal Essences Have Some Nice Shades But, I'm Not Sure How Well A "No-Ammonia" Product Would Color Darker Hair. Good-Luck!

Answer 3

Depends on your skin if you are very pale and have kind of a pink tone to your skin I would try a dark reddish brown with some very red bangs around the face and some around the whole head.Sometimes when you are too pale very dark tones like an extreme black make you look to Gothic unless you have light eyes. Try a very modern cut too with different layers that would look cute too.

Answer 4

I think a combo right look nice.

Dark brown on top, and a bright vibrant red as an undercut. You get a nice flash of colour and it makes people look.

If you want to go over the top, dye your bangs the same colour red :)

Answer 5

red always looks fantastic and wont make your skin look so pale any red will do except for orange. if not sure get some streaks of the colour you like because they are easy to get rid of and wont overpower your complexion. dont use any cheap supermarkrt kits unless you are really sure about wot you want and have a friend who knows their stuff.they always look cheap and tacky unless its only a few shades difference

Answer 6

Martin E is right. Your hair is too precious, and discussing hair colour over the internet is not advisable. A good hair stylist or hairdresser would really do something on your hair that would show the best features in you, and does it after you have discussed thoroughly your desire and your personality.

Answer 7

Color should not be more than 2 shades lighter, or darker than your natural shade. You can always add bold highlights, just use caution on the blonds and reds. Some can come out brassy. Find a good color artist. Don't attempt it yourself.

Answer 8

Dark Red!

Answer 9

My college has an identical coverage. I Dyed my 2 chunky highlights that have been bleach blonde and that they reported it replaced into advantageous :] purely get a bleaching kit and take approximately an inch of hair and bleach it. yet provided that your hair is so dark you have gotten to try this greater advantageous than as quickly as. And get somebody to help you. Its plenty much less annoying :]

Hi, I would have it done professionally in different shades of red. If you want to do it yourself, I would just start with a few dark red streaks. Good luck !
