edited January 2015 in Chit Chat
I've been keeping my hair very natural looking for the past year so it was natural for the wedding. Well now the wedding is over and I'm itching for a change.

I'm a red head, green eyes, fair skin with freckles. 

Pictures would be great.

ETA: picture (obviously I'm the one with red hair)

    Umm, excuse me, Ms. Lambert, but didn't you just dye your blonde hair into a beautiful brown to kick off your tour? ;)

    SHHH! Those are secrets :)


  • What would you be willing to change and what would you not be willing to change? Cut, color, etc.?

  • @hellohkb I don't really want to cut it. I've been growing it out for a bout a year and just do trims now.

    For color, i'm generally pretty open to whatever. I tend to stick somewhere in the "red/orange" family. I usually do low light and low lights but have considered an all over color.

    Go bold. Do an auburn.

    This is the color I want to dye my hair.  I am just too afraid to pull the trigger.

    So pick this so I can live vicariously through you and your hair color :)

    @Maggie0829 I'm really scared to do it! I *want* to but at the same time, I've had it this way forever now and gotten content with it.

    I am the same way.  I have natural strawberry blonde hair and I have only ever added highlights so it scares the begeezus out of me to completely dye it.  Every time I make a hair appointment I say I am going to do it but then I chicken out.

  • It is so scary though!  What if it looks like crap?!  Ahhhhhh!!!!

    I just got my hair cut this week so when it gets closer to another trim I will talk to my hairstylist.  I have also heard that red doesn't stay as well as other color hair dyes.  But I think H will love it if I came home with a completely new look.

    It's harder to maintain but not impossible. With a good sulfate-free shampoo and not washing my hair every day mine stayed really well. I also occasionally used a red glaze to boost the color a bit more.

    You could always do a semi-permanent color so it'll fade through strawberry blonde back to blonde.

    Speaking from someone with red hair, two things: red hair dyes do not stay long at all and red hair doesn't hold color as long because the natural red over powers it. So if you have strawberry blonde hair and dye it red, it probably will fade kind of quickly.

    Good tips, thanks!!

    I guess the only benefit from it fading quickly is if I ended up not liking it.  But damn that sucks about red hair.  I mean red hair is fabulous and it would be awesome if it stayed for longer.

    It does suck! Every time I get low lights, they fade in about a month and then my hair looks too blonde. I have to go every 6 weeks at least.

  • I think red hair is gorgeous, but if you did want a bigger change, here are some pictures:

    She's so gorgeous - I've always loved dark hair (probably because mine is blonde :P grass is greener on the other side, lol)

  • BLEACH YOUR HAIR. Or be a silver fox.

    Those are my top two I've always, always wanted to do. I am just like you except my eyes are grey.

  • I'm not brave enough to go completely away from red. I have a friend with red hair who is wanting to go silver too @larrygaga.

  • I did it! I feel like a new person and I love it!

  • Is there some law I never heard of that says beautiful redhead models cannot comb their hair after they get out of bed on picture day?
  • Very pretty!
