Need opinions on hair colour (with pics)

Im utterly bored of being blonde ! Im a natural blonde who has dyed it over the years all different colours and ruined it, so now it needs help of highlights !

My skin tone is a funny one, I think it's cool but does have a slight yellow undertone. My dad is a redhead and my mum brunette with a light olive complexion, we both go very dark in the sun. My eyes are a mixture of green and blue, like a turquoise colour. If any of that's relevant !

I really want to go a copper colour but I sure what shade would suit me ?
Would love some opinions ?

Pics are the three shades I like and the other is of me no make up in natural light, hope that helps, thanks

I really like the first one and think it would look great on you

I would go to a really reputable salon and get them to suggest colours. There is a red for everyone, but it’s still hard to tell in a photo.

Speak to a decent hairdresser. Try a wig first. And think long and hard as red is so so difficult to get out once you change your mind.
However inlove red hair, and I think the middle one would look incredible.

You could totally pull off copper. The first, brighter/lighter one would be my first choice. You could then go for a darker tone afterwards if you don’t like the first one, but would be difficult to change the other way around (go lighter again).

See I absolutely love the first one ! It is gorgeous, but I didn't know if it was too much of a in your face colour...
But I didn't consider that I could always tone it down with a darker shade if I didn't like it !!

I just need a change !!

And will 100% get my hairdressers opinion too and have a look through their colour chart, my days of home dyes are long gone Blush

You have a really cool skin tone so the colour of hair you have now works better than any of the reds but, of the ones you’ve chosen, I’d say the 3rd one would work best with your skin tone.

The only comment I'd make OP is that I went red once, and it was very high maintenance as it faded so fast even with using colour safe shampoo. I'd just double check with your hairdresser about how long the shade will last. I ended up going for a more mahogany shade as that lasted so much better.

Love the 1st one, that coppery tone is lovely.

You could try Shrine drops to see if you like it they wash out www.weareshrine.com/products/drop-it-copper

From the examples of the colour on the Shrine site, I think the before and after colour of the blonde lady looks gorgeous and would really suit you, although I appreciate this isn't as vibrant.

I was cherry red years ago and it was a real pita maintenance wise got to admit ! But when freshly I loved that glossy shine ! You just don't get that with blonde.
Blonde is my safe colour and I know it's one I'll always go back too, I just need something different for a while
