I really like your color, **AngelicGemma**. I tried for something similar but my hair’s too dark and the red’s only obvious under bright light.

Another brunette here - with a changing history though. Was born brunette. By the age of three I had an ash blonde bob. Then I went auburn and back to brown. My hair goes quite light in the sun, so naturally I should be sporting a very pale brown but I’ve dyed it a few times and now, after a stint in purple and black, I’m a dark chocolatey brunette but I want to lighten it a little bit.

Thanks. I had the same problem the first couple of times I tried to dye it. However the brand I use now seems to work quite well.
