Oh my god!!!! This colour!!

[hungryhippo90]

I want this colour hair!
I’m a mousey brown kind of colour at the moment... does anyone know if it will only get there with bleach, as to be honest I don’t really wanna bleach it again.... lots of damage done by previous hairdresser- finally a little sleekness to it, but I want a bit of a daring colour! :-)

Pretty cool.

Ooh that’s stunning!

I think you would have to bleach to get there. I have wanted that colour for ages. Try Rubine by Directions.

Colour is lush but I think hair will need lifting to achieve that.

Isn’t it!! I’ve never had anything daring! I’ve done a LOT of mummy type of hairstyles- I really wanna shake it up!

Or Tulip

Beautiful but it would fade super fast.

My god- tulip is gorgeous!

Argh... I think my hairdresser will kill me if I ask for my hair bleaching!!! I might get away with some highlights that I can put it on though.. that’s an idea!

Really excited now!

I don't think it would need bleaching to a pale yellow, just a few shades lighter but I am far from an expert.

That's lovely!

I had a similar colour a few years ago OP. It's fab but very high maintenance. It fades ridiculously quickly and I did have to have my brown hair lifted to get it. I bought temporary colour from the hairdresser which I applied once a week to keep it.looking fresh.

Loved it though. I get married in may and will be brown/blonde highlights for it but might see if I can go that sort of colour after.

Do a test, directions fades quick so either dye a chunk of hair that will be easily covered or chop a bit off then dye it.

I really hate to break this to you, but that girls hair is photoshopped I’m a hairdresser and Pinterest photos of photoshopped bright and pastel hair is the bane of my life it’s so misleading!

You will need to bleach for it to be vibrant. I can vouch for Tulip by Directions, it’s lovely. Depending how dark your base is, if you do the highlights you’ll probably end up with deep purple tinted hair with bright highlights which could work nicely! Mix it into your conditioner every time you wash to make it last longer, it’ll cling to the bleached bits more than your natural hair though and fades to a nice pink.

Hey, I have very bright hair, but I have it in big balayage'd sections. So, dark roots and then blending into sections of balayage - with obviously pieces of original hair colour too. I've got the bright hair, but I've not had to bleach the whole head... Plus, no roots to worry about. You could try that?

DD has bright red hair which again needs really careful treatment and fades, but it never fades evenly so she has some from red to her natural blond via various shades of pink and orange. It looks like a really expensive dye job he eldest brother said it reminded him of a cocktail.

So don't write off fading as a bad thing

My hair is almost that colour at the moment!
Live colour - ultra violet (comes in a blue box) Cost about £5 in boots. They do a more pink one too.
I've got ginger/Brown hair and it took really well.

Not normally a fan of weird hair colours but that was is pretty awesome!

I want it too

The whispy bits sticking out don't look quite right. I agree, that's a Photoshop job. That's not what her hair really looks like.

Virgin Rose by special effects is similar and gorgeous, although, like the other suggestions, it does fade/change quickly. Mine is now neon pink!

Spend some time at Not Another Salon's Instagram. They pay pictures of amazing coloured hair, but with details of the products, time and prices required to achieve it. Food for thought...

Directions hair dye in rose red wiLl give you that colour OP. I put it straight on medium brown hair. Beware, it stains EVERYTHING
