ombre hair for a natural redhead??

okay so im a natural ginge :smile: but it more strawberry blonde tbh as its really quite light in parts, especially in summer. my hair is past my shoulders - nearly to my elbows really.
im thinking of getting some blonde highlights soon, but in more of an ombre style (partly because i reckon i'd like it, partly because i won't have to afford to do my roots)
does anyone have pics of this ombre look on a fellow ginge? i've had no luck searching for one and im scared to go to the salon without one xD
also, does anyone know from experience if it'd look alright?? :s-smilie:


all i could find...

I think this is such a pretty look, I'm a redhead too and might have to get this done in a few months!

Wow that 1st pic is absolutely lovely. As a fellow ginger I'm very glad I saw this thread :smile: Haha. Might get this done when I'm next at the hairdressers :tongue:

my hair is naturally only a little bit darker than the lighter bit on the top left photo... do you still think that look would still be alright if i started with that colour and dyed the ends even lighter??
thanks for the positive feedback though guys - im glad other people like this look too :smile:

It should be ok, but just make sure that she understands how dark or light it should be. :smile:
