Red Hair Help!

[Juliades]

Hi, everyone!

I am wondering if anyone could suggest a color similar to the one in these photos. I've been told I look like her and that got me thinking as to how such a color would translate on me - I just love the coppery shade, and I'm curious to know if any of you have recommendations of an at-home hair color that would be comparable. Thank you so much for reading... best to you!

What's your current hair colour?

 

[Juliades]

It is medium reddish brown with definitely more copper in it than true red...

I asked what your current colour is so I'd (and anyone else who wants to give suggestions) can advise you better. I'm not sure if you can go from medium red-brown to a true red without lightening your hair at least a little first. My suggestion would be to call your local salon and see if you can get a colour consultation.

My hair is a natural dirty blonde. I use Nice N Easy 110, which is a light auburn. You may be able to use something lighter than me since your hair already is a bit brown. In the salon, the color is shade 5RR based on what my stylist uses. Hope that helps!

Thank you so much for your help! This shade appears to be very popular right now. In fact, Bumble & Bumble's model is sporting something similar in their latest campaign ad. I just think it's gorgeous. Are there any other suggestions out there for something comparable?

Does anyone have any experience with L'Oreal Paris Excellence in 6R "Light Auburn"?

Red is best done in a salon the first time, ask your stylist what she/he used on your hair and then you may be able to find a similar shade in sally's so you can do it at home.
