As anyone who had a mom like Alex, it's normal to go nuts and try EVERYTHING the moment you give yourself permission to try out colouring your hair. It's not a cry for help - it's experimentation. And it's fun, because hair grows. Glad you had fun with it Alex.
My thoughts exactly. I am in the same boat as she is and currently have black hair. My mom makes sure to tell me every time she sees me that I need to go back to my natural red and that she hates the black.
@@752bamababe I dunno what it is with moms having to control their daughters (I mean it comes from a good place but it is what it is!). People need to experiement to figure out what they like best and it's nice to take the time to do so.
I did tha same thing, shaved my head, and haven’t dyed it since 😂 I’m about to break that next weekend tho!
@@laurenwegner6634 oh neat! I shaved my head too and it was the most freeing experience ever! What colour will you be dyeing it?
well said! It's like being forbidden something as a kid, then suddenly you can go nuts- and in quarantine! Bloody destroyed my hair in 2020 😂
Mixing in a little bit of purple is a great way to get the more realistic, muted orange that comes naturally!
I never thought of that… thank you!
Or try blue to neutralize the orange a bit to make it brown ish
Blue is the best because it’s the opposite on the color wheel.
I’m a baker and I always add the tiniest bit of blue or purple to my buttercream when I’m making white to help with the yellow from the butter.
Alex, what you said about always having your hair please someone else hit me hard. I was born with hair the same shade as yours & as a pudgy kid, the only compliments I ever got were about my hair. I’ve lost all my hair 3 times due to chemo & that’s all anyone wanted to talk about ‘oh your poor hair’. Yesterday I spontaneously cut 4 inches off, down to chin length. It felt great. Looks mediocre. Don’t give a rat’s fuzzy.💪
I lost my hair in the same way. No one would even talk about it. More interested in mortality etc. but for me it was far more traumatic losing my hair than surgery or radiotherapy or hormone therapy etc. still not over it six years later.
@@dees3179 I understand, the first time was rough. I also cried more over that than anything else that happened. You can’t really explain it to people who haven’t been there either. Much love
I’m going thru chemo too. Had my past shoulder blades Auburn shaved off. It’s growing out, and I never thought I’d love it at 1/4”.
Do I care? No.
Wigs are fun too.
Im sorry about your bullying. We can be so cruel. Mine was weight and also nerdy/weird bullying.
@Dee S
Sending big hugs.
We’re all warriors.
I hope you're doing well now 💪❤.
Alex, I absolutely adore your husband. The love and support he has for you is refreshing and beautiful. Can't wait to see what comes next in your hair adventures!
Right?! Alex and Dan remind me so much of me and my hubs. May they still be as loving and goofy together at 27 years like me and mine.
It’s so refreshing to see that kind of love and devotion to each other these days.
@@katthevampire942this comment didn't age well now did it
@@katthevampire942so much for true love
honestly so sad@@monicabroussard840
Dan appreciation post! That outro was sooooo sweet, he’s so supportive and kind. We all need a Dan in our lives!
Always here for the Dan content. He loves Alex so much and it seems like he tries to take good care of her. Absolutely the sweetest.
It’s so sweet to see! May they still be like that at 27 years like my Hubs and I.
I just love the way that no matter what you’ve done with your hair your husband is so supportive and tells you how beautiful you are 🥰🥰🥰
Yes! He's adorable
pretty sure he's in the closet tbh
@@pandammonia234 or he is very comfortable with himself and unconditionally loves his wife no matter how she looks.
@@pandammonia234 He loves his wife with the way she is...He must be GAY! Lol tf
My husband is a redhead almost exactly the same color as your natural color and we finally found the perfect color match for him to cover his grey hair. I highly recommend Wella Color Charm in the shade Titan Red Blonde 😁
I was going to say wella color charm as well but the shade light copper
@@MrRaaawrzz That’s a good one too! Wella makes a lot of good natural redhead shades!
Second this!!!!
I tried and it was so bad...turned me more mauve and i did it on level 9 blonde hair
I love Wella color charm, Ash Blonde works well as a toner for prepping bleached hair for rainbow colors, just fyi in case anyones wondering :)
Rachel maksy did a few videos showing her hair dying experiences, she's done ones with henna and ones with Arctic fox ("the copper formula")
I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who thought of her! :)
Henna is great but if you want to bleach your hair after it is very tricky since it can turn green (as much as a year after last henna I think because it stays in the hair for a very long time) it will react with the bleach :)
As someone who has spent over a year trying to dye my hair a naturalish red/copper, I will say there aren’t many options in semipermanent color. Good Dye Young has a copper shade that is really lovely and surprisingly, so does Kiss (Cajun red I believe, much darker but could be diluted)
Love Cajun Spice. NAKs colour masque in peach is also a pretty ginger colour.
I would like to suggest to you like l told Alex to use Lush red henna as it’s more permanent
@@kaitlanmclean8336 I’ll have to look into that! I was about to switch to permanent dye, but my hair is pretty damaged so this may be a better option
Manic Panic came out with a natural color line called supernatural
She’s insanely lucky that her hair is naturally so bright then, I can only imagine how much struggle someone with a more copper shade would have
As someone who goes for about 9-10 hours of sleep if not woken by alarms, I have no idea how you function on so little sleep Alex! The hair looks great on you, but every time you mention how much your mum pushes your hair colour, my heart goes out to you. The Pauline Hanson jokes made me cackle.
Finally I’ve found my people! I have trouble functioning with 8 hours or less of sleep
I need 9 at least
how do you find the time for so much sleep?? 😭 I constantly get under 8h because I prioritize entertainment, oops
The tangerine orange is what made your hair turn a super bright orange. Mixing copper with a dark blonde or a light brown hair dye would have been better I think. That being said, I actually really like the bright orange. It’s like a last bit of fun before going back to natural :)
Please don’t take this the wrong way, but I relate to the first 3.5 minutes of this on such a personal (but also very different) level. I’m going to preface this by saying absolutely no hate what so ever towards your mom, and love that you two can talk about these sorts of things. This just hits home on a personal, but angry level. This is in no way directed at your mom, just a bit of a rant that the beginning of the video brought up.
As someone who has frequently bleached and/or dyed my hair for the last 12 years, hearing someone be pestered over their hair bothers me so much and makes me irrationally mad. My grandmother CONSTANTLY annoys me by giving back handed compliments or outright saying she would prefer me at my natural hair color. Her most used phrase is “oh, your hair looks nice like *insert color/ style here* but would look much better if it was your natural color”. One time I braided both mine and my sisters hair. For context, sister has very long hair and was her natural color at the time, mine was just passed my shoulders and blonde. Both natural dark brunettes. My grandmother actually gave me this backhanded compliment in front of my dad, “oh.. I like how you braided yours and your sisters hair.. hers turned out really nice and frames her face well. I’m sure yours will look better once it’s grown out.” My dad was shocked and I told him that kind of thing was normal from her so I usually just ignore it because I don’t feel like arguing. And to be completely honest, she is one of the main reasons I haven’t gone back to natural in literally years. I know it’s just a difference of generations so opinions on that sort of thing are going to be very different, but it’s my hair, my body, and my choice what I do to it. Being pestered about it constantly doesn’t make me want to change my hair back, makes me just angry. She was the same way with my dad when he was growing up, he was very 80’s punk so all the crazy colors as a teenager. It’s just frustrating when others think their opinion of your appearance should mean more than how you personally feel about it. Just let people have fun with their appearance and play around with it for a while.
It’s CONTROL.
I was feeling uneasy in the video as well at that part because I have experienced the same attitudes and pestering about my own hair from SOs and family members…including my mom (the worst offender). Unsolicited backhanded compliments galore. I love my mom and she is a good person. But this is absolutely controlling behavior. And the worst kind in my opinion because it is trying to control someone else’s identity and how they want to present themselves to the world. Whether it’s hair, clothing, weight, etc…it’s all rooted in control.
I recently went back to my natural color after decades of dying it all different colors. I only did it because I wanted it that way for my wedding, not because I was giving into pressure. It’s funny, because now I get zero compliments…including the backhanded kind. No body really cares about my hair, they just wanted me to look the way they think I should look.
Long story short, I’m going violet the next time I dye and I can’t wait!
Once you grow up, you will realize that nobody cares about your hair more than you do. What makes you a grown up is when you realise you simply projecting on others from an innate sense of insecurity that they are busy judging you. You are judging your self and at the same time anxiously looking for confirmation from others to hint that you are rebellious, different or wrong in one way or another. Just accept your self for who you are, miraculously you will find that fewer and fewer people in your circles make it their business to comment on you.
@@evinnra2779 I don't think that's true: I have family that cares very deeply about how younger members of the family present themselves. This wasn't rooted in younger members of the family being insecure... this was rooted in how the older members of the family thought others would perceive the family as a whole, if the younger generation had less traditional looks.
The comments stopped not when myself, or any of my siblings accepted ourselves as who we are... but when the adults realized 1. they had lost the ability to control how we looked, or 2. that level of control was costing them the relationship.
(This isn't based on my own perceptions, either. This is what older family members have told me about when we've had conversations about this very thing.)
I have red hair and also have strict parents. they didn't like any of my older sisters dying their hair but were ESPECIALLY strict with me, being a natural ginger and also the youngest sibling. I've lowkey wanted black hair for so long but couldn't bring myself to "ruin" my hair because it was the one thing that got me compliments :/ fortunately my bf is very supportive of me wanting to dye/cut my hair someday, even though he loves my natural hair! it's really the bare minimum but it's SUCH a relief living with someone who will care about you no matter how you look and will support you doing whatever makes you happy. ...I still haven't dyed my hair yet, but I definitely want to someday :)
@@Spookdog Use a black wig for a while, and see how it suits you or it doesn't without possibility to want to dye it back the next day.
You literally inspired me to go short with my hair cause it looked so cute on you! I walked into my salon and had them chop a good 2.5 feet of hair off my head last week. I'm loving it! Thank you for the inspiration, Alex
YES, me as well! I cut a foot off bc of how bomb her super short black bob was. Now my navy blue denim hair hits above the shoulder & it feels modern!
That's so awesome! Were you able to donate your hair?
@@amara560 no, most places require 16-18 inches
@@FadedThreadsAndFeelingDead I was asking OP but that is a shame. You can donate here from 30 cms.
@@amara560 Unfortunately it was too damaged to be used for a wig! I did check before I did the big chop :)
Your skin looks so healthy again. I know we get tired of our natural color but your skin needed red tones. You’re glowing!
You look lovely!
Red dyes fade very quickly, so you’ll get to enjoy a whole host of shades in the coming weeks!
I'm a natural redhead as well and when I was 15, I dyed it a bunch of colours. A year later I went back to my natural hair colour. It was a great experience and made me love my red hair so much more. Glad Alex had fun!
Can we talk about how sweet that outro was! Alex and Dan have such a supportive and caring relationship❤
I love Dan, the supportive husband. 🥰
As someone who has been on the same journey but a few years ahead, here is my experience and thoughts...
1. Playing with semi permanent is the way to go, and I would caution against permanent, if you feel you must.. try demi permanent and 10v developer as it's not going to lift and be as damaging. Demi is deposit only, and keeping your volume of developer low means less amount of damage, specially when only trying to deposit hair colour.
2. Don't bleach it again when you get it to a bob, if you put in the work to grow it to a bob and it feels so soft the moment you bleach it, you will regret it even if you get it a pink, that is at least how I felt. You can def work on the damage and it does feel softer, but you'll never get that hard work back unless you cut it off..
3. As a natural redhead who is very similar in tone as an adult, try mixing in a bit of yellow to your reds/orange concoctions. Our skin tones can weirdly handle it and compliments it. (very small amount don't go ham)
4. Anything Tangerine is going to be quite lovely, and just the smallest dash of a bright red and tiny amount of yellow might get you very close to your natural.
5. Let this colour wash out as much as possible and try a nice pastel pink over some of the lighter washed out colour you have now, you'll get a cute strawberry blonde if you get it to a blondish, or if you go too hard it can go coral which is a vibe too.
6. Lastly you do what you want, and these are all just from my road to recovery and growing my hair back out after years of fun (and damage).
This cut color combo is just... divine i love it so much 😭 very 90's new york celebrity vibes
Missed you Alex and Dan! Love your hair pushed back with volume on top. Can’t wait for the wigs. I have a short bob with an undercut, I have red on top, a layer of bright colour and undercut another colour. I have it dyed every 6 weeks and haven’t a clue what colours I will be as my hairdresser surprises me. Perhaps when hair is a bob and at the healthy stage you could have pastel pink underneath, keeps mum happy as red on top and you happy as you see the flash of colour. I’m 51 and my mum is 74, she hates my hair if I wear it up but my hubby couldn’t care less as long as I’m happy 😊 sorry such an essay 😂 much love from the uk 🇬🇧 x
YES. Perfect timing, Alex! Just in time for my anxiety-induced insomnia and 2am snack time!
1am for me 😂
Mood
Perfect timing for me also. Just in time to soothe me after my daily mental breakdown and crying session after work. Love to you friend xxx
I feel you there!! Lol
I think a level 5 or 6 neutral light brown or dark blonde mixed with a coppery red would work perfectly to get close to your natural shade. Also a tip from this friendly neighborhood cosmetologist.... Dry your hair before you apply dye! If your hair is wet it won't turn out as good. Love you ❤️😘 it's so refreshing to see someone have fun with their hair!!!!
My mom always said how much she liked my natural hair but she never stoped me from doing anything I want with it and for that I'm grateful. I'm happy you had gun with your hair Alex, hope you are happy with it no more what you decide to do!
Again so proud of you for doing whatever the heck you want with your hair ❤️ I’ve loved this journey for you
Love this. Your hair journey has been so fun to watch. Can’t wait to see what you do next. Wigs, fashion, decor etc.
I loved all your hair colours but I cant deny that your natural hair colour has been missed a lot. Its like a cherry on top of your personality.
I'm stoked! I'm a ginger and probably twice your age but I'm so happy to hear your hair darkened, too! I used to use an orange crayon when I colored in a book and I always hated it but promised my mom I'd never dye it. I can't wait for this journey. Now that I've aged and I've got reddish brown hair I really miss my younger color. If you hit on it, I'm breaking my decades old promise to my mom. So anxious! Good luck! 🌹☮👩🦰
Mine went from chestnut to mid brown as I grew up.
Went to red/chestnut/auburn when I hit 23.
Never got a complaint.
@@katthevampire942 I thought it was only me! 🌹☘
Alex you look AMAZING with short hair! I would suggest if you want that natural shade of red to try ion (or any brand you can find that does a lot of natural hair colours) I dyed my hair ginger last year and I tried using semi permanent colours at first but I soon realized I needed a lot more brown tones to achieve the right colour and the best way to do that is to go for a brand that does natural colours and I would ideally use a demi permanent or a permanent colour with a VERY low developer (10 volumes max) to avoid damage since I know you're trying to grow your hair and maintain health. Hope this helps!
Watching your videos is truly like watching one of my friends. Your hair looks beautiful! It's so fun being part of this journey with you. I've been around since the beginning. Your content is my favorite on UA-cam.
Thank you, this means so much to me!! ❤️
Also, the orange tones looks amazing on you!
I feel exactly the same. My daughter is a ginger, loves Japan (we are learning Japanese together) loves clothes. Etc.
Yey, for once I can be useful! When it comes to semi-permanent, Adore has the most natural copper tones and I always add a little bit of green or blue hairdye to neutralise the intensity. :) You can also go for the Shades EQ from Redken (the 07C Curry is a bit intense at first but fades to the most natural copper hairdye I've ever had and I think that you could mix it with the 08WG to achieve your natural colour). It's a demi-permanent so it won't lift your roots but it will last longer than semi-permanent, and it's also a gloss that has an acidic base so it adds a lot of shine! And finally, the best way to have a natural colour after bleaching the hell out of your hair is to pre-pigment it to give it back some depth, there a tone of good videos on the subject. Good luck!
Great tips, thank you for sharing them. I did not know them! 😀
I ADORE the short hair. Not many people could pull that off but Alex looks amazing
Olaplex won't necessarily make your hair look better , what it actually does is helping it rebuild from the inside. That's why you might not notice a huge difference but it is making a difference in the hair bonds that were broken from bleaching/dying.
True!! The awful texture will remain after olaplex, not because your hair is still damaged, but because you completely destroyed the natural oils of your hair (human hair reacts to oil like a sponge, they actually used it to help clean up the US oil spill). A good conditioner, hair oil, and other leave in hair cream, or a combination is usually the best way to rebalance your hairs natural oil content.
Well there you are long time no see I hope you have been well and everything is OK!! I’m sure I’m not the only one but we have missed your videos!!
I loved the reveal! The cut still looks so mature to me. In the best, classy, feminine way. Love it, especially with those beautiful drop earrings.
ooohhhh your final look with the color, cut, earrings and top is really giving rich auntie vibesss
I've had so much fun on this hair journey with you! So glad you got to try things you have always wanted to do!!!! Keep being you Alex! ♥️
Same! Excited for the new wig hauls 💜
That colour really suits you, I know it's not your natural shade but it makes your eyes pop. Looking forward to wig content also 😁👍
Henna has always given my friends the results closest to my own natural ginger hair. Only do that if you plan to not dye your coloured ends since it tends to lead to terrible weird reactions with professional/chemical hair dyes
It looks so good! Your hair looks so healthy and bouncy again! I'm LOVING the short on you, it suits you so well.
As a fellow short haired person with naturally curly hair, sometimes I style straight like you have, or I will use leave-in and mousse and scrunch it. Sometimes you can gel it and make it piece-y, or use a round brush to blow it out for that greaser look, with gelled down sides. Skies the limit ☺️
I can't wait to see how this turns out and I can't wait to see your hair grow over the year. Hope you guys are doing well in Australia ♡
From my experience with red color, they usually get more muted after a few washes, so this might actually turn out to be closer to your natural hair color with time. Can't wait for the next vid!
Hell yes!! You look so fab with short red hair! Stunning
One word, STUNNING!
It's amazing you look great in every color you've tried. Confidence matters.
Well said!
I am so excited! 🥰
Dangling earrings and short hair are the best combo 😍😍😍
I LOVE IT!!! I Love the Cut! It’s not awkward at all and seems very versatile!!!
I can't recommend natural reds but as for the repair journey as someone whose overprocessed my hair to the point it won't dry and is stretchy I've found the aphogee 2 minute reconstructor and their shampoos and leave in conditioners incredible! Really pulled my hair back from the brink of being shaved off!
I really love the red on you, it really suits you even though it’s not your natural colour. Plus the condition and shine in your hair at the moment is AMAZING!! You’ve done a great job restoring the condition of what you had left after cutting off the length, which I have to say looks stunning on you.
💗 your content, from a fellow Aussie 🇦🇺
PS- Be guided by hubby when it comes to your work life balance, he knows where it’s at and the things that need to be treasured in life 😊✌🏻☀️
I've been SO excited for this!
The color is gorgeous on you!! Compliments you beautifully.
I think the darker one of the two would have been better than the two mixed together! I have just got myself copper henna to try so if you want something natural might be cool to try.
Alex I loooooooooooove that hair cut on you omfg you’re so beautiful ! To me every style suits you really I loved how you played with your hair so much fun ! Continue being yourself I love you so much 🥰♥️
Ive changed accounts like three times and ive still been watching in horror and amazed on the journey this has been
YES! i have been waiting so long and checking my notifs every day for thissss
I've dyed my hair a few times but I've definitely been too scared to bleach it. So the colors aren't quite what I've wanted. However, I shaved my head in August bc I was never allowed to cut my hair either and I absolutely loved it. I'm letting it grow back out now, and it looks terrible, but I would shave my head again in a heartbeat
Loreal casting cream gloss in 7403 or other color this number!!! 7-base-darker blond, 4copper shade,3 golden shine. It will be much closer to your own shade and look more natural. I used to use it myself.
Oh my goodness I LOVE how it turned out! It's bold and classy all at once. Stunning
That colour is LITERALLY STUNNING on you 😍
Firstly, love the color! Secondly, I know An old remedy to achieve lighter shade of red closer to what you want. Take some pure squeezed lemon juice and run it through the hair. And for about 30 or 15 minutes have hair be in direct sunlight. This is a process so may take a couple of days to see results.
Ooo I clicked soo fast!!! Fingers crossed my baby stays asleep for me to watch!!!
He woke up after 5 minutes - still got to watch and you have a new 10 month old fan Alex 😂
So excited to see you with red hair. It really is my favorite. Also I really like the pulled back hair look!
That is so gorgeous and vibrant!
And yet ANOTHER colour experiment that looks amazing!! Seriously, I'm yet to see one colour you haven't been able to pull off!! (Not that you haven't tried 99% of them! Lol) Nicely done 😊
Missed your videos Alex, you look incredible with your hair pushed back and messy
I’m so glad you are back!!!!!!!
CAN'T WAIT FOR THE WIGS!!!!!!!
Wigs are so wild and fun and I feel like you will rock so many!!!
Yay, can’t wait! Edit: It looks lovely! I’d be glad to get my hair that colour but I think it’s too dark for it. I’ve dyed my hair red for at least a couple of decades now.
Yeah I've been wanting orangy brown/auburn hair for so long but my hair is dark brown, so it wouldn't work without bleaching and there's no way I'm doing that. blondes/ light haired gingers are kinda lucky in that regard.
I’ve gone from Auburn to Red red through the decades.
My favorite shade was a professional level 8 a copper blonde. Perfect.
Right now it’s heavy salt and pepper growing out from chemo. Once it hits an inch or two, they’re going purple! Then eventually back to red I think.
Just have fun be with it.
And wigs are fun too!
Your hair length....girl...this is the perfect length to try the classic 2000s emo, punk combo for a week....that let's be honest we were all fascinated with. Also btw hair styling: try out some Annette Benning vibes
I'm in love with the hair cut and colour!
It's so pretty ❤🧡. I think I really enjoy colors that aren't all that "natural" looking. They are more fun.
Yeay good to have you back! Your hair looks so much healthier now, you are always Beautiful no matter what your hair looks like!
Adore has a lot of red and gingery shades that look pretty natural and they're ridiculously cheap in the US at least.
LOVE the colour!
Love the short hair on you. What ever color you choose, I think this cut is super flattering. Your hair looks healthy and shiny.
If/when you're hoping to go back to your natural shade, look for "auburn" - one of the various auburn shades should be close to your natural hair colour. :)
I think your hair journey has been good. I went from dark blonde to red through most of my early 20s, and went from dark blonde to rose gold in my mid-30s (in a professional firm, too - no one cares), so I think everyone should take a hair journey if they want to without worrying about what anyone else thinks. It's your hair, it grows back, go crazy.
I knew they’d be too red and too bright 😂 I really think Alex needs something closer to a brown
It looks soo good!! :D
I have coloured my hair red/copper for 5 years now, with permanent colours. In my experience it fades to a more natual colour after some washes.
Colours in the shade 7.40, or there about is really nice, I think ^^
I have tried the following dyes;
L'ORÉAL PARIS Recital Feria 7.46 Very Intense Copper
SCHWARZKOPF Brillance in a copper shade (can't remember the actual colour).
GARNIER Olia 7.40 Intense Copper
It feels like I’ve been waiting forever for this video! I’m so excited!!!
As a german, the way you pronounced schwarzkopf was so adorable 💕💕💕
Hi Alex, I remember when I started my hair dying journey I dyed my hair with L’Oréal casting creme gloss in the colour 645 amber and it looks like how your hair was in the photo of your wedding, by the way your hair looks amazing
I'm happy enough with this colour!
"Oh great, she's done, it's been fun"
*video is only half over*
Oh no, oh no, oh nonononono 😂😂
Disclaimer!! This is a joke, alex can do whatever she wants and I'm just happy with content
Look into coloring conditioners , color lux has a gorgeous copper that is able to build on itself so be any ginger shade you want. I had my hair red for months and it’s the best I’ve ever used to get my hair to look natural
This color is GORGEOUS on you!
Love the red despite the consistency of it coming out the tube lol I would recommend for a natural red 2 things. Lush red Henna as it’s more on the permanent side and also a company called The Shade as they have a nice array of natural colour selections and also you can also customise your colour if you want a natural closer two tone look. Both l tried ages ago and got nice compliments on it. Also l love your short hair now as it does really seem to suit you as well as your long hair. Looking forward to your upcoming wig content. Also a question would using or diluting the colour remover tone down it to a more less saturated red? Hair Science! Also I’ve heard good things bout Manic Panic and also using Artic fox which you said you have already mix some red/orange with a brown dye and test strand it maybe?
I've always been nervous to try short hair so very much enjoying the journey. The color turned out quite pretty. I went blond and lavender once and it just fried it. But I miss it anyway . . .🤣
it looks incredible pushed back like that!
what a gorgeous colour!!!!
I’m literally in the same boat Alex! I bleached my red hair for the first time at the start of quarantine and i enjoyed my blonde hair for a while but have been trying to dye it back as close to my natural as i can and haven’t been successful (even at the salon, they don’t know what “natural” red hair is) I haven’t tried it yet, but my next venture is to try a light caramel brown and a light auburn color. I definitely think you need to mix a light brown with a copper or auburn color with your next mixture!
Personally, I'd go 2 parts Tangerine Twist, 1 part Aztec, and a half-serving of a light brown (warm undertones) of the same brand if you're going for natural color. I think that'll mix well...and I do color-correct work as part of my job
Strawberry blond yes! And complete orange ohh hell Yeaah 😍🌸
The cut and colour are so forking beautiful on you! Love it ❤
The Garnier Olia range has a few reddish options: copper, rose gold and a more bold red. I always use their products and i've never been disappointed!
Hair dying is low-key an addiction
Yeah
Pretty in pink vibes! ✨
Love this color!! So posh!!
Just a note: please NEVER mix any hair dye with metal utensils. Also, wouldn’t have mixed it with conditioner but excited to see how this turns out!
