Fierce

Sep 12, 2007 Author: The Domestic Diva | Disclosure | Filed under: Beauty

So I decided to do a little change to my appearance. Hubby suggested that I go for red hair since I am so pale. The last time I colored my hair I did a brown with a hint of red and he said that it wasn’t red enough. So I decided to go all out. I mean it is just hair and you can always dye it back to the original color if you don’t like it. Anyway. I found the deepest red that I could possibly find at my local hole in the wall drugstore. The color I chose was LOreal Feria Shimmering Hair Color, in Cinnamon (Bright Auburn Brown) It definitely has more red in the tone than brown. And to break up the solid color, I used Garnier Color Breaks 004 Light Auburn to Reddish Brown Dimensional Lightener - Kit to make highlights!

I think I like it but am not real sure about it yet. I feel like I have a fire truck on my head since I am not used to such a huge change. But change is good, right? So what do you think? Since I am still deciding I want to hear your opinions on the Fire Engine Red Hair. Hubby keeps saying this phrase over and over again…”Red in the Head, Fire in the Bed!” I tried to take a photo in natural light since that is when it looks the most red. And yes, I know how pale I am please do not point that out to me.

All I can say is that my husband LOVES it and the bean likes it to which is all that really matters in the end, anyways.

   I LOVE IT. I absolutely love red, or red/brown hair. I’m pale also, with freckles all over my body. I have noticed that a red tint in my hair just matches my skin tone. Your hair is gorgeous

   I meant to ask you this earlier, but I forgot. ) Do you know anything about Blogitive.com? It’s a company similar to Blogsvertise & PayPerPost but I’m trying to figure out how legit they are…

   i LIKE it i used to do my hair red a lot. one good thing about red is that it fades quickly so if you don’t like it at first - just wash it a lot until it tones down. personally, i’m really pale too so i think red fits your face.

    You look GREAT!
    I love coloring my hair red. That’s usually what I stick to but decided to go dark RIGHT before I got pregnant since I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep up with it for “almost” a year… and I wasn’t gonna deal with those nasty roots, you know what I’m saying? LOL So I colored it black, and slowly it’s faded and now my hair is pretty much back to it’s natural color. Light brown. My husband loves it. I tell him not to get too used to it cause I miss my fiery RED hair. LOL

    Your baby seems to be in AWE of how beautiful you look.. like, “Ahh…. my Momm’s so pretty…” *hehe*

    Cute pic!

    Wow. Maybe get me a red hair dye too. Actually I’m lying, I’ve never dyed or permed my hair. I’m a wimp when it comes to things like that. Looks great on you, and slimming too =)

    I love the new look! Thanks for sharing the pics.

    My hair is naturally dark brown and I’m starting to have to color because those pesky grays are starting to appear. I use Clairol Nice ‘N Easy #120.

    My husband has suggested that I go more red too (what’s with men and their attraction to red-heads?). I’ve thought about it but haven’t gotten up the courage to try it yet. Maybe I’ll follow your lead in the near future and see what happens.
