Another Hair Q.... does anyone have red highlights?

i'm bored with my hair. I'm getting it cut and colored saturday; i want highlights but not blond b/c they always look orange on me. Can I ask for reddish/caramel highlights?

i want like fun chunky red but can't even find a pic of what I'm looking for and I NEED a pic or she will do whatever. Does anyone know what I mean? Kind of like this, but not really. cant' be overly drastic either, thanks to my job.

ooh or maybe this but chunkier

I did my hair like this many years ago and it looked awesome



More recently I just began keeping to my natural brown and putting in Auburn highlights, so that it has just a tint of red. But until I find a good salon out here, I'm just sticking with brown. I'd LOVE to put in some drastic red highlights tho.

what you do now - is it actual auburn highlights or do they use color? I've been coloring it a shade darker with some dark red in it. but they aren't highlighty, it's just a tint to my hair color, you know?

A few months ago my girl put like an auburn glaze in my hair because I don't want to do highlights and I was bored. It was pretty subtle though...I already went back over it with my usual brunette...ha!

i like the second one a lot. I just think blond always turns orange on me. maybe if I tell her caramel/reddish she'll just know? and i want CHUNKY and they never do it right.

I hear ya...me too! I let her highlight my hair a couple of years ago and it was a little too light for me. For some reason the the front was much lighter than I expected! I wanted more auburn, which I did once years ago, and for me it was a little more caramel at first! I had to get used to it. She did a toner and it warmed it up much more...I was much happier with it then. I like what you're saying though with it more chunky...it should look nice especially with your eyes!

Ooo!!! im loving these pics and you guys are giving me GREAT ideas!!!

I have all red so don't think that will help. Do you want light red or those dark burgundy highlights?

here are some different options. Just bc only bc with highlights they charge a lot more and red does NOT stay in your hair, in 2-3 weeks it will be gone so keep that in mind. Years ago they took out this chemical in red dye that keeps the color in. Well only in the US they did this, so if its very light it will fade very quickly and wont even be red in about 2 weeks. Also make sure the person is good with red hair, many have trouble with it, trust me lol

You would look great with red highlights! Where are you getting them done?

---

just out in LI near my mom's. I realized after spending retarded money at B&B and FF that they end up coming out the same

maybe it's not red red that i'm looking for, I just don't want blonde or even golden. eesh. wish me luck.

thanks denise. I like the third one from the bottom a lot; but they all might be too red for my hair. I get it colored all the time anyway (thanks to grays) but i can't go overly drastic which is kind of not fun. I might just print a few and ask her to 'wing it'.
