Hi girls,

Well, a few months ago I used a L'oreal ombre kit to do a light brown ombre effect on my medium/dark brown hair. So I was pleased with the result but now I want it to be warmer, like an auburn kind of color, not too shocking though. So I'll post two pictures. One of my hair (what the color looks now) and other of the color I want. (It was actually the light that made my hair more red). So how do I do this? I thought about using another ombre kit, but one with color (like copper) but not sure because I also want my whole head to be warmer. So now I am thinking about using creme gloss (no ammonia from L'oreal) in a auburn shade. What do you think I should do?

I think that you could achieve the warmth with some auburn henna. Make sure it's 100% henna without metallic salts, in case you decide to bleach it in the future (henna with additives could turn your hair green when you bleach it)

Sorry it posted too early. I meant to add that probably other people will be more knowledgeable and could help you out better than me.

Look for anything that has warm (as opposed to cool) in the name.

Thanks for the suggestions Hailey but I think I will go for a semi-permanent dye because I have never dyed my full head before and I am a little afaid to commit..
