Dying my hair red?

Question

so i have light-medium brown hair with lots of blond highlights so its pretty light brown specially at the bottom. I'm thinking about maybe dying my hair red or black, probably red. I want to test it out with a semi-permanent dye. Some people say though that the dye wont completely wash out especcially where my hair is blond and that it will be reddish there. is that true? also since i am very pale (pinkish), light brown eyes, long ovalish face and long hair (like 7 inches below my shoulders) and black eyebrows, what shade of red would look best? do i need to dye my eyebrows? and should my hair be cut or will i look fine with longer red hair?

Answer 1

If you want to see it with out committing to it- your only safe option is trying on a wig in the color you are thinking about. Those blond highlights will suck up any type of color that gets near them. If you like the look of the red I would seek out a salon that works with Framesi color. Professionally I love all the choices in red and the strength of the line. The colorist will consult with you about the correct tones for you. I would also have my eyebrows done at that time in salon. The job would only be half done without it. Your highlights will most likely need to be filled prior to coloring over. They will explain all of it.

Answer 2

A nice crimson red or ruby red would probably go well with your skin tone. If you're going to do the brows go to a professional stylist. You should dye your hair all one color first because if you don't the blond will be a different color than the brown. If it all starts out one color it will dye as close to the same color as possible. No dye will completely wash out of your hair. With time and as new hair grows, it will gradually "remove" the dye for lack of a better word. If you're not sure about color options you should always go to a professional stylist. It may be more expensive but at least you'll get the look and color that you most want.

BEST OF LUCK TO YOU. Let me know how it turned out.

Do not dye your eyebrows!! Old ladies dye their eyebrows it looks so stupid! Your highlights will probaby turn pink if you dye them red, you'll never be able to get black out of your hair either. If you want red I think you should let a proffesional go around your highlights and dye the brown red and leave the highlights, then you won't end up with pink hair. I had light brown highlighted hair and dyed it almost black and now its been that way for a year and I hate it!! I can't go back to my natural color with out ruining my hair, please don't go really dark you'll regret it!

Answer 4

Pink skin + brown eyes = not good looking with red hair.

If you do decide to dye your hair red you'll definitely need to dye those eyebrows.

There are products you could try that will wash out during your next shampoo to see if you really want to go red. You can find these products at any retail store.

Answer 5

I've had red hair and it was absolutely gorgeous! It's definitely something you should do professionally though, its hard to cover brown with red by yourself, the brown likes to peek through. It fades very fast to. I had no problem getting my hair back to brown, yes it had to be dyed back because your hair keeps a reddish tinge.

Answer 6

well if you mean aburn, your blonde highlights probably wont work with that. the hair stylist may have to dye it over a course of a few days. i have natural aburn hair and my eyebrows are brown, so dont dye them.

Answer 7

What about going for a ruby red like Grace in Will and Grace, she did not dye her eyebrows.

Answer 8

GO TO A REPUTED SALON ; THE STYLIST WILL GUIDE YOU. HOW ABOUT REDDISH AUBURN ? THIS SHADE WOULD ALLOW YOU TO WEAR BRIGHT RED , WITHOUT MAKING YOU LOOK LIKE LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD ; YES THE EYEBROWS TOO. GOOD LUCK.

Answer 9

my friend has shorter hair that is wavy. she only painted the tips of her hair and then another half of the red she painted blue, so it kind of turned into 3 layers, blue, purple, and red. it looks rad!
