Do you think I’d suit red/auburn hair?? Photo inc

I’ve been highlighted blonde for Years. I think I once had my hair a kind of henna red when I was maybe 17. I’ve recently box dyed dd’s hair with a mid golden brown, and it’s kind of come out a glossy gingery auburn colour. She’s much paler than me. I wonder whether it would suit my colouring or not or whether I’d massively regret it. What do you think?? Excuse haggard face Grin

Noooo, you've got a similar skin tone to me and I have a lot of red in my hair.

I've tried auburn and it looked dire, like a Lauren on RHOC but with a neon glow.

I think you will look amazing. I have had a sort of red / light brown ginger and it looked way better with a tan. I honestly think you will love it. Go for it and post a picture!

Kenworthington · 14/05/2020 18:48

Oh my, there’s so many conflicting opinions! I’m MORE confused. Confused should have attempted a poll!

@Thighmageddon what’s RHOC??

If it all goes wrong then cat on the head is the way forward. He certainly makes you look less "hard faced" Wink

You do realise none of us really have a clue? Maybe stick with your blonde? I like it.

WhatWouldYouDoWhatWouldJesusDo · 14/05/2020 18:54

I like this colour !

Kenworthington · 14/05/2020 18:55

@Thighmageddon Lauren's hair isn't auburn though, it's almost burgundy. Horrific.

Thisismytimetoshine · 14/05/2020 18:56

Auburn, I mean. That colour above is awful!

OP, if you’re wanting to go reddish you really need to get a base on the blonde first, preferably red, then you colour over that. It may be difficult because of the bleach in your hair, check out some you tube tutorials first.
Also, you have a beautiful smile.

@SmileyClare I’d end up 4 ft tall, he’s pretty heavy. But yeah at least I don’t look hard faced 🤣

WhatWouldJesusDo wow that's clever, you've coloured it in! I thought for a minute that was Op's After photo.

Kenworthington · 14/05/2020 18:59

@GenuineKlatchianPottery ah that’s kind. I don’t smile very much I don’t think 🤣 I don’t like what it does to my chin Blush

@WhatWouldYouDoWhatWouldJesusDo (love love love the user name btw) how did you do that?? Can you try a more auburn coppery colour??

OP posts:
Kenworthington · 14/05/2020 19:00

@Shmithecat2 yes THAT. That’s the colour!!

OP posts:
Shmithecat2 · 14/05/2020 19:00

It would look top drawer on you!

Shmithecat2 · 14/05/2020 19:01

I call it tischen - orange and brown.

Kenworthington · 14/05/2020 19:02

Yes, I like it. Hmmm. Looks like it might be tricky for me to do. Perhaps I should wait for my hairdresser 😬

Oh fuck no, don't do that yourself!
