When I was seventeen I dyed my blonde hair this bright, crazy red. It faded and faded, and then I put some blonde dye on top of it long time later, and eventually it became this beautiful, amazing strawberry blonde colour. It was shiny, golden hair with just the slightest tinge of red. I have never had so many compliments from so many people in my life as I did for that tenuous colour of hair (they also thought it looked natural, and it suited me much better than the overpowering red). I didn't know how to keep it, and eventually it just faded back to blonde.
The thing is, I know it's such a fine line between that pretty colour and an ugly orange colour. I wish I could find a picture of it...you probably can imagine what I mean. Just mostly blonde, and slightly red. I find the ordinary blonde just gets dull and common and I get so bored with it. But then I try to deviate and get terrible results. However, I know this colour suits me. My best friend doesn't like my hair this light blonde either, and told me recently she liked my hair best as that strawberry blonde colour.
So: is that a possibility, that colour? I know how hard reds are to maintain. What's the likelihood of a professional to get that colour, and what are the odds of screwing it up? I'm tempted, but I wonder if it's worth the headache. I'd also like it because I'm sick of tanning, and I think a cute reddish blonde would look better with pale skin than regular light blonde does (that tends to get washed out looking, I find). Thanks!
