I did it and it looks fab :biggrin:


Thought it might not suit you but just read your last comment; I'm glad you tried it and you like it :smile: if you don't mind me asking, what brand did you use? Cause if your hair was dark, it's usually difficult to get a nice tone of cherry red.

Hey everyone, just wondering if I could get some opinions on whether I should die my hair like a dark cherry red colour (LIVE XXL RED PASSION 43) ?
And if it would suit me? Btw my hair isn't the colour in the pic now it's much darker after going from blonde to dark brown...
Sorry for the posey pic aswell, not really got many face on ones where you can see my hair clearly without it being a posey one :tongue:
EDIT: Why did someone neg rep me? Seriously some people are sad.


Actually, it's sad that you care about rep.

I would not go for red. I have died my dark blonde hair red only once but it was a mistake. you will never get the reddish touch out of your hair without cutting it drastically short. I hated red shortly after I died it because you see the natural colour on the roots quickly and that is very ugly because it makes a contrast. I tried amber red.
Impressive pair of lips.

Was about to ask if you'd upload a picture, I've had my hair dark reddish for a while now, really like it.

It kinda seemed like from ur pic u wanted people to think you were hot more than you wanted them to be able to give you an honest opinion of your hair color. It is hard to get a good idea from the duck face and the angle of the camera, but I think paler girls typically pull the red off better. It rarely works. I think maybe your natural color (I assume dark brown by ur skin tone but I can't tell cause i am 95% sure ur hair in the pic is dyed) may be better or an almost black with light brown low lite's. You can always do something like this which is kinda funky w/out going over the top.

Well did I state anywhere that I wanted people to rate me!? No. I wanted an honest opinion whether my hair would look good died red. I apologised for the posey pic as I realise many TSR'ers have a stick up their arse about "duckface". Also, my hair is natural in that pic as it was taken over 2 years ago. I have already dyed my hair red.

it matches the colour of your eyes but it is only amazing on the top. the rest is too dark, to my mind. I liked the photoshop version. :-)
