Can any hairdressers tell me what this colour is?

Can any hairdressers please tell me what this colour is? My current/natural colour is brown & I want to know of any specific colours I could buy that would result in this colour.

I've been colouring my hair for several years now & I keep trying to get this shade but it never quite works out this colour, sometimes it's too dark, too red etc.

Can you recommend any suitable hair colours / brands ( with specific numbers ) that would get me to this colour.

Picture to follow.

TIA.

Not a hairdresser , but mid / light brown with caramel highlights . Can you take the pic to the hairdresser ?
It’s very pretty colour 😀

i would find a well reviewed colourist for a consultation OP. Your current hair has an awful lot of warm red tones in it, and looks more of a chestnut tone whereas the colour you say you want looks cooler toned caramel, and is a couple of shades lighter than your base colour. I can't imagine anything over the top of your current tones could give you that result as is.

my hair colour is naturally the one on the right... my hairdresser refers to it as Bronde

So... your asking for a free colour consultation and recipe for your hair dye? 🤔🤔🤔

Uh nope. That's why we go to college and learn all the sciencey stuff. And tbh, you need a professional colour correction.

OP I can tell you now you won’t achieve that shoving a box of dye on

Get a colour consultation , the poster above is right, don’t take shortcuts.

A box dye won't work because you have rich red undertones in your current colour. You'll need to go to a professional salon to strip the red and get the caramel dark blonde you're after and it may take a couple of visits. Red is notoriously hard to reduce - I learned the hard way!

Update >>>>>

Used crushed vitamin C tablets & clarifying shampoo to try to remove the built up dark colour & it's worked!

I wanted rid of the dark tone, I'm actually not sure of the exact colour I want the brown bit of my balayage to be but I do know that deep dark red isn't what I want as I don't think it suits me.

The dark colour was built up permanent colour so I wasn't sure the vitamin C would lift it but it has : ) It's one or 2 shades lighter, not huge difference but still it's lighter. I might repeat the process in a week or so to see if it lifts anymore out, after I've left it to settle.

Thoroughly recommend the Vitamin C hair colour remover method to anyone who wants to lift hair colour out without an expensive trip to the salon.
