My babble about my new hair colour

[Dolly6410]

hey geeks

so i have wanted to colour my hair red for a long time but have always been worried my clients might think it is a little inappropriate, i have a lot of elderly clients so do you think this will be ok? my natural hair colour is about a 6 but at the moment i've had a highlight overdose!

I'm thinking (i promise i just like the colour) amy childs red like something inbetween the two pictures attached, not pillar box red.

Also, do you think goldwell 6R will do it? or maybe abit of RR splashed in? i'm worried 6rb will darken it abit too much or will it? don't worry people i am a qualified hairdresser and trained in goldwell but am abit rusty :lol: also what shampoo and conditioner are good for dyed red hair? i have seen alot about colour balls but can only find them at capital? thanks in advance x

not sure about the colours and that but shampooing and conditioning wise affienge hot shots is the best in my experience, my mum had red hair and used that and it was amazing everytime.

haha this is what i miss about hairdressing, mixing a little bit of this and a little bit of that and then waiting to see what the result is, i was usually quite lucky in the respect that i had mixed god knows what and it usually came out pretty good. i'm guessing everyone has gathered why i didn't carry on hairdressing as a career :lol:

well my hair is now a very soft copper blonde, with a little ash and violet to soften it! i think i'll go brighter the next time
