I've always been blonde in some way or another but my fiancé loves red hair. I was thinking about surprising him for Valentine's Day with a new look. I've narrowed it down between two, one is all over red and the other is a red ombre. So my questions are: 1) which look do you prefer? 2) specifically ladies who have had red or brightly colored hair, how difficult is the upkeep? & 3) are there any products that can help keep my hair vibrant after coloring? Thanks in advance dolls! 😘

I prefer the first one :) red is hard to keep up because the color molecules are the biggest. Therefore they leave your hair more easily because they don't attach as well as smaller molecules. To keep mine up, I used red shampoo (my stylist just put dye into normal shampoo), and you have to be very careful while washing it. A common misperception about hair dye is that washing it fades it. While that's true, water alone fades it even more than shampooing. So, try to keep your hair out from under the running water as much as possible, and keep a similar hair dye around for emergency touchups if need be (Clairol makes a root touch up kit).

Ah I love the first picture. Red hair is awesome to have, but the upkeep can be kinda difficult. I have to dye my hair once a month and I've been doing it for a year now. What I do to help the color stay longer is put some of my dye into my conditioner just so when I wash my hair it deposits some color back into my hair. I say go for it! This is my hair now (:

I made the switch to red about a month ago. And I absolutely lovvvvve it. But as Jessica said it's really hard to keep up. My color has since faded to this copper blonde color. So I made the decision to dye half my hair black and leave the top red, so I wouldn't be as committed

I like the first color :) and I agree with everything Hannah said, as I've had red before too.

Just keep in mind that red is the second hardest color to get out and don't bleach it or it'll turn orange

I think the 2nd picture will look nicer with your skin tone, since its more of a pretty auburn and you still can keep some blonde! Just make sure you go to a trusted reputable stylist. The problem with going from blonde to red is that it will be difficult to get back to blonde if you hate it, but I think it'll look gorgeous and bring out your eyes. I've had different variations of red hair since march and I only wash my hair twice a week, use dry shampoo in between washes, I swear by tressa watercolors shampoo in crimson red and every so often I use the roux refresh mask in fire red to keep it vibrant. If you buy a red shampoo/ conditioner make sure you read the ingredients and if it contains henna DO NOT buy it.

@megan just a question of curiosity, what if it has henna? what will it do to your hair?

I have always been red since recently I dyed black. wash your hair in cold water for the first few weeks reviving reds shampoo and conditioner keeps the red in your hair. You can get it at your local Sally.

@stephanie - it depends how much the shampoo/ conditioner that contains henna is used but henna is nearly impossible to get out of your hair and will react in crazy ways with normal hair color/ bleach.
