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

Gorgeous colour!

VelvetKnickers · 18/08/2017 19:38

This is it now, indoors. There’s no denying it’s vibrancy really is there Hmm

I even told said I wanted a rich, classy looking shade. I look like a fucking powerpuff girl Grin

It's gorgeous. I love this shade when see it on people, and yours is beautiful too.

SleepFreeZone · 18/08/2017 19:40

I love it too!

VelvetKnickers · 18/08/2017 19:40

My husband seems to like it anyway. Although when he pressed on its orange-ness he did say ‘it’s not what you said you were having done’ no shit

When he WAS pressed - he didn’t press on it HmmGrin

Well you wanted orange hair and got orange hair. Win win!

FreedaDonkey · 18/08/2017 20:04

I like both, I think that it will fade to what you wanted after a few washes.

BeeMyBaby · 18/08/2017 20:14

It looks gorgeous

Fekko · 18/08/2017 20:16

It's copper and it's amazing!

EmmaC78 · 18/08/2017 20:36

It is very orange and very nice :)

choccybiscuit · 18/08/2017 20:39

Love it!

InfiniteCurve · 18/08/2017 20:44

Lovely! I like the colour you wanted too but actually,I prefer what you've got Smile

EnidButton · 18/08/2017 20:45

Well, yes it is of orange but in a gorgeous, can't stop staring at it, kind of way.

I think it's nicer than the colour you wanted.

StarHeartDiamond · 18/08/2017 20:59

It's fabulous, but yes it's a vibrant orangey copper. If you're not keen after wearing it for a while, you could have a few very fine light brown lowlights put through to dampen down and break up the orange-ness.

As your hair was blonde before I think it'll go faded orange, ie lighter, over time. When you next have it done you can choose a richer deeper copper and it will take better and with more depth, as your blonde hair is already coloured from this time round.

But it looks fab as it is 🙂

VelvetKnickers · 18/08/2017 21:18

Thanks again everyone

@StarHeartDiamond Thank you for the advice. It’s not that I hate it in a ‘get this off my head right now’ kind of way. It’s just not the deep, rich kind of colour I was looking for. Its a pretty colour that I would think looked fab on someone else but a bit too vibrant for me Blush

Is your hair blonde? That other picture you showed looked like it started brown. It's hard to get really rich on blonde without almost dying it brown too.
