Red or brown?

shegirl

Age old debate for me as I constantly switch and can never decide:o

I need to dye my hair but can't decide to go red or brown again,or even what shade.

Help me decide?:o:rotfl:

Pic of me in avatar to help but I'd relaxed my curls there!

I think a cool dark brown with no red tones, be careful with obvious red it can be very aging or chav like.

I agree with Hughjass!
You are very naturally pretty and you dont need to go for "unusual" hair colour to turn heads. A cool light brown would look great.

I would stick with brown, with long hair

My hair is dye red (to cover the grey), but it is very short pixie cut.

Red, I receive regular compliments on mine. You don't look old enough for it to be ageing, IMO looking chavvy depends on the style and condition of your hair and the rest of your appearance.

I would stick to brown too, don't you find black makes you look rather pale? A slight reddish hue with the brown won't go amiss if you're in between the 2.

I know the feeling!!! Most natural shades of brown have a hint of red, usually only noticeable in the sunshine if you know what I mean. I tried black once. I must admit I looked rather ill :rotfl:

Red I'm naturally strawberry blonde now (was red as a child). Recently died it red (very ginger red) and have had so many compliments and everyone says it looks really nice. I still get comments from people who've complimented it before saying how much it suits me.

Be brave

FYI, I'm using L'Oreal Casting Creme Gloss in Amber (a non-amonia temporary one) (google images: https://www.google.co.uk/search?num=10&hl=en&site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1166&bih=985&q=l%27oreal+casting+creme+gloss+amber&oq=l%27oreal+casting+creme+gloss+amber&gs_l=img.3..0j0i24l2.1125.1125.0.2125.1.1.0.0.0.0.31.31.1.1.0...0.0...1ac.1.NK9C5kilBFk

It's quite dark at first (very gingery in sunlight). Mine fades to a nice light ginger shade, prob cos my hair's quite blonde underneath though.
