Is my hair orange? Honest opinions please

Had my hair coloured today - I wanted a copper colour but it’s just so fucking bright!

I was blonde so it’s possibly just going to take some getting used to? Or is it just orange and I’m trying to humour myself Blush

Excuse the classy bus stop selfie - I was panicking Grin

That's a gorgeous colour! It is bright but in a good way.

emochild · 18/08/2017 19:17

It's orange -but then I went for highlights and came out with green hair so I can't talk

It's new and in full sun -it will calm down

LockedOutOfMN · 18/08/2017 19:17

It's bright copper and it's lovely. Will look brightest in bright daylight, I think, which is what you've taken the photo in.

HeadfirstForHalos · 18/08/2017 19:17

It's a vibrant copper, it's nice! If you've just had it done you probably need a few days to get used to it. 🙂

ForeverLivingMyArse · 18/08/2017 19:18

It's beautiful!

TheMasterNotMargarita · 18/08/2017 19:18

It is bright but it looks amazing!

MadMags · 18/08/2017 19:18

I think it's quite orange but I like it!

JanetStWalker · 18/08/2017 19:19

Yes it is orange but it's glorious!

MoonfaceAndSilky · 18/08/2017 19:19

It is a copper colour, it's nice.

wisewomanmummy · 18/08/2017 19:20

Fabulous!

VelvetKnickers · 18/08/2017 19:20

I do like it, it’s just a bit fucking lot more in your face than I was after. I wanted more of a copper with a brown undertone. More natural (I’m well aware it’s anything other than natural Grin)

I don’t hate it. I’m just a bit disappointed. Toying with the idea of trying to fix it myself or seeing if the brightness settles after a few washes

I love it.

MyfanwyMontez · 18/08/2017 19:21

Bloody lovely!

madja · 18/08/2017 19:22

Lovely! I would love that colour but my hair is too dark.

FadedRed · 18/08/2017 19:22

It's a beautiful colour! Mine natural used to be like that but faded as I got older. Enjoy it! Some of the brightness will probably lessen within a couple of weeks, as most red shades do fade.

HeadfirstForHalos · 18/08/2017 19:23

It will settle after a few washes

Frouby · 18/08/2017 19:23

I love it.

It will wash up a lot lighter tho. Try and get hold of some joico coloured shampoo, they do an orange one. Will keep it looking fresh between visits.

CantChoose · 18/08/2017 19:23

It is a bit but I love it! And it will probably tone down with washing.

acornsandnuts · 18/08/2017 19:24

It's lovely. However your foundation is a tad on the yellow side Grin

blueskyinmarch · 18/08/2017 19:25

It is absolutely gorgeous. You need to own it!

VelvetKnickers · 18/08/2017 19:26

Thank you all 

I do think I will prefer it when the brightness fades, I’m quite luminous at the moment 

@acornsandnuts Grin I thought my make up was looking quite good today haha covered my face and cropped the picture as massively identifying background but didn’t consider my massively identifying orange head

Oo, that's nice, it'll die down (no pun intended) after a few washes and will lose a bit of its vibrancy. Red tones are notorious for this and I know from experience.

NotMyMonkees · 18/08/2017 19:28

Love it! Don't change it, it's fab 😁
