My Search for Red Hair

   Every now and again I get this sudden urge to go to a salon and try something completely different with my hair, whether that be cutting it all of or dyeing it some new shade. This ultimately last only a few hours and I save myself a potential hundred dollars or more by waiting out the desire. But earlier this month the hair change urge came upon me again, only this time it hasn't left. This time my mind's eye had been seeing red. Perhaps it's because I secretly covet my husband's random strands of red hair in his beard or maybe I believe the color to be so enchanting that surely if I had locks of copper I'd be transformed into some whimsy frolicking lady. Regardless it's something I can't get off my mind and so maybe this time I'll actually surprise myself by caving in and going red.

    Yet when I do my research and try to find a color that would "suit" me I'm faced with a
myriad of choices. Who knew red had so many variations? Well, probably most of you.

   Here are a few shades I've decided I rather like.

   A light but bright copper red! Stunning! I think it takes a certain skin tone to pull this one off and I fear I don't possess that tone.

   A blondie red is super cute too!

   I assume a deeper red like this would over all be a better fit. I like it but I fear the salon lady would take it more into a purply red which I see many brown haired gals, like myself, ending up with, which I don't like.

   This shade seems almost like a happy compromise of the two. Hmmmmm

   What do you think? Have you ever dyed your hair red? Tell me about your experience. I'd love some thoughts and or advice.
