    Hi Gals:



    This is for those of us who have moved on

    and.. about colour



    I feel like having a change

    and now have the brown (warm) and blonde

    bleached pieces which have become too light

    and draining



    It was suggested to me

    copper.. yes Ive had copper in

    past years (when younger) but

    hesitate.. hard to keep, hard to get rid of

    but.. lots of fun



    any comments welcomed

    as I know we have adventurous gals here..



    tia..



    have to be careful





    Hugs, Sierra

    Sierra...I have no idea how old you are or what your skin coloring is like, but I do think that as long as you stay with a warm copper, it could be flattering and fun. The harsher reds and burgundies, in my opinion, are only for those born with red hair or who are "winters" in coloring.

    Sierra, why don't you try a temporary rinse in copper first?  That way, if you find you don't like the color on you, it is gone in a few washes.

    I have a terrible time with hair coloring.  My natural color is very ash brown/dark blonde but as soon as I touch it with color, it pulls lots of red.  It is a big struggle to keep it toned down.  You can see my current color on the makeup thread, next to last page at this writing.  My hairdresser used a very neutral/ashy brown, but you can still see lots of red and it gets worse with every washing, even though I use what is supposed to be color safe shampoo.  Also, the sun turns the color red.  So, I guess what I am trying to say is to go slowly before you commit and HAVE FUN, for heaven's sake.

    Seeing as how I just had my last tx of Taxotere/Cytoxan a week ago, I've chosen "flesh-colored" for my summer hair color.

    I vote auburn.  That's what I've been wearing since I was 20.  It has varied over time but now is dark auburn and I add auburn to my eyebrows to make it look even more natural.

    Always do the brows, gals, it makes a huge difference.

    Morning Gals:



    Was nt sure this post got on here..



    Thanks for your input..

    re: Copper



    Abba, yes, I can have that problem too

    has to be a tad of copper, I actually call

    it caramel.. I ask her to put a bit of that

    shade in with the brown.. sometimes the copper

    can go brassy



    I have in past years, worn very red hair

    which was fine (when younger) but not now

    for me.. anyway.. (each to her own)



    plus hard to keep, hard to get rid of



    I notice the blonde highlights become v. washed out

    in summer, almost white, which makes the brown look

    darker



    WARM.. Yes Marin, Warm shade is good

    also my hair is much thinner now, so darker

    makes it look thicker on me



    Hello Otter: HOw are YOU doing?

    I saved a lot of money when on TX

    did not worry about my hair, and was nice

    and cool, one positive side.. but enjoyed

    having it back



    Won't be doing anything right now

    still busy here, but after will treat myself



    Ps I owe some of you mail

    will get to it when MOved



    Be well

    :)



    Hugs, Sierra
