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

I think you could pull it off, but you do really suit the colour you already have. How hard will it be to get back to your current colour if you don't like the auburn?

Hi OP. I always thought there were 2 kinds of red hair. There are those who are pale, freckly and burn in any hint of sun. Then there's the ones who have a deep copper like red who can be much darker skinned (with fewer freckles) You look fab.

I like these reds.

Will your daughter be furious if you have the same colour hair?

If not, go for it.
If yes, go for it.

(Btw you are beautiful, a real natural beauty)

Wasn't sure if the purple hair was you! You can probably carry off most colours.

I suspect you're a bit like me and get bored quite easily with your hair and want to try something new. Once I get an idea in my head I usually end up doing it, sometimes regretting it massively
Oh well if it goes wrong none of us are exactly socialising at the moment.

Mangofandangoo · 14/05/2020 20:06

Yes! Would look lovely 😊

Kenworthington · 14/05/2020 20:07

Haha yeah I’m always getting bored and doing stupid things with it. Dh doesn’t get it at all. He particularly hated it when I had it almost shaved off apart from a huge whiff the rest of it was grade one. A shame. I quite liked it

Poor glittery bath bombed cat. Grin
Do you read your hair dye instructions carefully if you decide to proceed. I think most hair dyes say Remove cat from head before applying.

Kenworthington · 14/05/2020 20:08

Lol. A QUIFF! Not a bloody whiff!!!

Brilliant Wink

buckeejit · 14/05/2020 20:45

Yes! Can't believe nobody had said how much you look like Britney, (or I Missed it...)

Kenworthington · 14/05/2020 21:14

@buckeejit 🤣🤣🤣 that’s some funny. Dh’s friend used to say that plus also, really randomly, one of the ‘entertainers’ on our holiday in Marrakesh a few years ago. I can’t see it but also I hope no-one means during her kerrrrazzzzy period.....

OP I absolutely love your look and you rock the piercing/ink! Gorgeous. I think auburn would look great. You could pretty much carry off any colour though I reckon!

AndMyHairWillShineLikeTheSea · 14/05/2020 21:51

This might be nice?

FYI your lips are amazing!

I'd wait until you can get it done professionally though. It can be tricky to go from ash blonde to red.

CuppaZa · 14/05/2020 21:53

I love your highlighted hair OP

ShredMeJillianIWantToBeNatalie · 14/05/2020 22:00

I wouldn’t, I think your skin tone would suit a cooler colour. I don’t know if it’s even possible but maybe a hint of lilac? Post a photo of whatever you decide!

WhatwouldLangdo · 14/05/2020 22:04

Ach life is short OP, go for it! Wearing it with confidence makes more of a difference than the actual thing you do I reckon. And update with pictures if you do! I'm invested in this Grin
Also, here's to being the hard-faced, tattooed, pierced women we are 🎉😂

Doowop20 · 14/05/2020 22:07

I think dark auburn would suit you.

AndMyHairWillShineLikeTheSea · 14/05/2020 22:10

Also, I know you didn't ask but I think the septum piercing makes you look hard faced.

Rude. Let's see your picture then.

Mnthrowaway20202 · 14/05/2020 22:29

I think go for the red, if only to prevent damage to your natural hair and to give it a break from the bleach? I don’t think the ends of your hair are as full as they could be for example.

MoltonSilver · 14/05/2020 22:34

If you go with the red it would look best if you also darken your eyebrows a little.

MrsMGE · 14/05/2020 22:35

Honey blonde would be better.
