Hope you don't mind, I've popped over from Nails to get some ideas on my hair. I detest boring hair but I don't seem to have the easiest hair when it comes to colour. And at 45, I can't just have crazy colours. I'm originally blonde, although if I stripped all the colour out, more likely grey now. Over the past few years, I've stayed blonde and had blocks of purple in. But they don't stay long, several weeks, before fading to a copper colour. Then I had a 'halo' done with blonde and purple and loved it. Again, fading was a problem.
Then I had this colour done last Sept for graduation and holiday. ImageUploadedBySalonGeek1424893685.324762.jpgImageUploadedBySalonGeek1424893697.440057.jpg but this red lasted three weeks before fading to copper. So over the last few months, I've gradually gone back to blonde all through with a few red streaks through it, but in several weeks, has yet again faded.
I'm fed up and my hairdresser is really good and I'm one of the few customers who is adventurous, which she likes. I'd love all your opinions, thoughts, designs to take to her in March as I'm out of ideas. Only thing I can't do is have it cut short (hubby would be furious). Please help, I need expert advice :)
Thanks.

That's the problem with reds, they tend to fade very quickly but very hard to remove. Are you looking for a new colour or hoping to stay red?
 
I'm happy to try a new colour to go with the blonde. I'm too fair to go brown. I just want to stay adventurous if I can :)
 
I dunno i can picture the brown suiting you better if im honest. Maybe a violet tone?

I admit I loved the purple the most. I did chocolate brown streaks once with my blonde hair and it looked too dark and washed me out. I'm so frustrated. I feel really boring with my hair as it is.
 
Depends how dark you go really. Are you still wanting bright colours???

I would but I know it won't last. That's why I'm hoping for new ideas here :)

Why don't you look on hairchalk.co.uk, get a range and try it on your hair to see what looks best before going to your hairdresser? My hair is white/grey with a few strands here and there of black and when I get fed up by being a "little old lady" I spread my wings and add hair chalks! Great fun and the joy is I can wash it out with the next shampoo.
