Dying my hair red

[Jessycat]

So I dyed my hair for the first time ever in February... I used Garnier's color Medium Rich Mahogany Browm (525). I really liked this color, but now I am thinking I want to go a little more red.

Here is what my hair looked like when I dyed it the first time:


And then this is the color I am trying to get:



Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated =)

Thanks!

I don't think it will look good with your complexion unless you are going to really cool it down like in the second pick with a bunch of the wrong shade of foundation. Look at that pick again. You don't even come close to that complexion. I think you will be disappointed. Your hair color should make your face or certain facial features be noticed first. That is a good color match and job. You have that now. Your hair is a supporting actor to your face. Hair should never be the first thing noticed and then on to your face unless you are doing something with that intention.

I think your trying to fix something that isn't broke but that is just my opinion.

The colour in the second picture looks darker and closer to reddish-brown/burgundy to me. When you said "a little more red" I was thinking a brighter red, not a deeper red. While I like that deeper shade of red, I'm not entirely sure it would suit you.
