I'm looking to dye my hair dark red but I'm having trouble finding the right color dye. Anyone want to help me? I'm looking for something this color:

So its a dark red that's kinda brown. Please help! :smile::heart:
The first picture is the most accurate of what I want my hair to look like (wierd grammar?)

Just wanted to say, I LOVE that color.:nuts: I'm somewhat obsessed about it actually. If my hair was longer, I would no doubt have that color. The top pic looks like a medium reddish brown to me. I would recommend going to a salon & taking that photo. Reds can be tricky sometimes.

Hehe I love it too :biggrin:

That's what I'd love to do (get it done at a salon), but I really don't have any money for it :sad: Its going to have to be done by me, at home.

If you haven't tried it already, why don't you go to L'Oreal : cosmetics, beauty, perfumes. They have this interactive tool where you select your current haircolor, then pick what color you want to be & it will give you a recommended shade. They have several that look similar to what you want. If you are already somewhat brown, it shouldn't be very hard but if you are blond & trying to go this shade, it will be a bit trickier. Good luck:smile:

:shrugs: I can't find the tool thing.

I have natural almost black hair but currently it is died a medium auburn-ish color.

I think I might have found the right dye color!!!

Part of my hair right now is still my natural color, and I have roots. When I dye my hair will parts be different colors? :confused1:

I love L'Oreal hair colors. I used Preference for years, but as the grays outnumered the browns, I switched to Excellence. I can't recall the exact shade you are wanting, but I want to say the color you are looking for is called dark reddish brown. I have a lot of red overtones in my hair and I get a nice light reddish brown from Dark Golden Blonde in Excellence.

You may just have to switch around the colors for a while until you find the best shade for your hair color, but fortunately, L'Oreal is so good you can't really mess up your hair (if you follow the packaged instructions). ;)

Put the color on your roots first. Your untreated hair will not take the color as easily!! I am so excited for you!!! Good Luck!

Ah, okay! Thanks :yes:




Eeeh thanks everyone for support :nuts: Can't wait to dye it, I'll probably buy the dye next time I'm out but I don't think I can dye it until a week or two, because aren't you supposed to wait three months before dying your hair again? If not, I should red hair by the weekend! :wlae:

I have red and have used the over the counter stuff, but its so worth it to go to a colourist. They can mix a red that is specific to your skin tone.
I just find that the bottle reds all look the same. JMO

reds are very tricky i would go to a salon and get this done. i have clients all the time come to me after they have screwed their hair up with box colors trying to get a great red. that is a beautiful color though.
